Tired of Being Tired? Discover the Root Cause of Fatigue Through Functional Medicine

Fatigue Is a Signal, Not a Flaw

If you wake up tired, crash by 2 p.m., or rely on caffeine just to function you’re not alone.
But exhaustion is more than just “being busy” or “getting older.”

Fatigue is your body’s way of asking you to listen.
To look deeper. To go beyond surface-level fixes and uncover what’s really going on  hormonally, metabolically, emotionally, and spiritually.

At Birdsong Medical Centre, we believe healing starts at the root.
With state-of-the-art diagnostics, deeply personalized care, and a peaceful, high-touch environment, we help you recover your energy and return to yourself.

Top 5 Root Causes of Fatigue We Investigate at Birdsong

1. Hormonal Imbalances (Especially in Women 35+)

Fatigue often begins with subtle hormonal shifts thyroid, cortisol, estrogen, and progesterone. Many women are told “your labs are normal,” when in fact, they’re just not optimal.

Our Solution: Full hormonal panels, cortisol mapping, and personalized plans for hormonal recalibration through nutrition, supplementation, and peptide therapy.

2. Mitochondrial Dysfunction & Cellular Burnout

Your mitochondria are your energy factories. When they're inflamed, sluggish, or nutrient-depleted, you’ll feel tired no matter how much you sleep.

Our Solution: Targeted micronutrient testing, IV therapy (like our Elite Athlete Drip), and cellular medicine to restore energy from the inside out.

3. Nervous System Dysregulation & Burnout

When your nervous system is stuck in “fight or flight,” your body never gets to rest, digest, or repair. This chronic stress depletes your reserves.

Our Solution: Frequency-based therapies, breathwork, red light therapy, and somatic practices to help you shift into true restoration.

4. Gut & Inflammation Imbalance

Leaky gut, food sensitivities, and microbiome disruptions can drive chronic fatigue through systemic inflammation and poor nutrient absorption.

Our Solution: Advanced gut testing (including GI-MAP), elimination protocols, and IV glutathione or ozone therapy for gut healing and detox support.

5. Unprocessed Emotional Load

Fatigue isn't always just physical. Emotional exhaustion, grief, and old trauma can live in the body and silently drain energy every day.

Our Solution: Mind-body coaching, integrative somatic practices, and safe space to unravel what you’ve been carrying gently and holistically.
