Tired all day, wired at night?
Running on caffeine by 10am, crashing at 3pm and lying awake with a busy mind, while your bloods came back “fine”. Exhaustion that sleep doesn’t fix has a cause.

Optimal-range blood review
Signs Your Energy Needs Support
Waking up tired, even after a full night’s sleep
An afternoon crash that only sugar or caffeine gets you through
Wired at night - exhausted but unable to switch off
Brain fog, poor concentration or forgetting words
Feeling overwhelmed by things you used to handle easily
Getting sick often or taking longer to recover
Low motivation, flat mood or irritability
Heavy periods, feeling cold or hair shedding alongside the tiredness
More than “everyone’s tired”
Fatigue gets brushed off as “you’re just busy”. It deserves a proper look.
Low iron, thyroid function, blood sugar and a stress response stuck on “high” often overlap. Getting to the bottom of it means looking at them together, then building a plan that gives you steady energy back.

The most common reasons are low iron, thyroid function that’s off despite a “normal” TSH, blood sugar swings, and a stress response that keeps sleep shallow. Often it’s more than one. A proper intake and the right blood tests usually narrow it down quickly. You can read more in Why Am I So Tired Even When I Sleep Enough?
-
Yes. Burnout affects sleep, mood, digestion, immunity and energy, so support works best when it covers all of those. A naturopath combines nutrition, herbal medicine and practical lifestyle changes to help your body recover, alongside any care from your GP or psychologist.
-
A useful starting panel includes a full blood count, iron studies (including ferritin), TSH, free T4 and free T3, thyroid antibodies, B12, folate, vitamin D and fasting glucose or HbA1c.

Often both. Long-term stress can lower thyroid function, disrupt sleep and deplete nutrients, while low iron or thyroid issues make stress harder to cope with. Testing helps separate what’s physical from what’s load, so the plan targets both.
-
Most people notice a shift within four to eight weeks once the main drivers are addressed. Rebuilding low iron or recovering from long-term burnout can take a few months, and we track progress at each follow-up.
