Why You’re Always Tired (Even When Your Doctor Says Your Labs Are Fine)

Are you exhausted all the time, but your doctor keeps telling you your labs are “normal”? You’re not alone. Many women—especially over 40—struggle with fatigue, cravings, brain fog, and stubborn weight gain, even after getting the standard lab work done.
The problem? Traditional medicine often checks the bare minimum, like a CBC or TSH, which can miss the root causes of your low energy. These tests are designed to catch disease, not subtle dysfunction.
So what’s really going on? Here are a few areas that can hold the clues:
Your thyroid: It’s the master controller of your energy and metabolism. Yet most doctors only check TSH, which doesn’t show the full picture.
Your stress hormones: Cortisol that’s too high or too low can leave you dragging. A single blood test won’t tell the whole story.
Your nutrient status: Low iron, Vitamin D, or B12 can all sap your energy. And sometimes, high levels aren’t what they seem either.
Your blood sugar: If you crash after meals or feel moody when hungry, this could be a hidden culprit.
