Feeling exhausted beyond ordinary tiredness? That persistent, debilitating exhaustion that rest doesn't fix might be chronic fatigue—a condition affecting 2.5 million Americans yet frequently misdiagnosed or dismissed by conventional medicine.

Dr. Dolcecore takes us on a comprehensive journey through the five scientifically-validated root causes of chronic fatigue. From post-viral syndromes (including long COVID) to mitochondrial dysfunction, HPA axis dysregulation, environmental toxicity, and circadian disruption—each mechanism explains why standard medical tests often come back normal despite profound symptoms. Most revealing is how these systems interconnect, creating a perfect storm that conventional medicine struggles to address.

The episode highlights the striking limitations of traditional testing while offering hope through functional medicine alternatives. Rather than accepting normal blood work as the end of investigation, Dr. Dolcecore advocates for deeper testing: salivary cortisol rhythms, organic acid panels, comprehensive gut assessments, and environmental toxin screening. The most powerful aspect is his practical, evidence-based approach to recovery—from mitochondrial support (backed by 2022 research showing CoQ10's effectiveness) to nervous system regulation techniques and precise nutritional interventions.

Whether you're personally suffering or supporting someone with chronic fatigue, this episode delivers transformative insights with scientific backing. Chronic fatigue isn't laziness—it's a complex condition with identifiable causes and effective solutions. Ready to move beyond being tired of being tired?
