Root-cause fatigue & energy coaching

Feel like yourself again.

Persistent tiredness, brain fog, poor recovery, low motivation: if you've chased these with more sleep and more coffee with no lasting traction, your mitochondria are usually the thread connecting all of them. We map it, test it deliberately, and build a protocol around your case specifically.

Every plan is personalized from your history, symptoms, tracking data and labs.

01 · What we look at

Your energy is already telling you something.

Fatigue almost never travels alone. It tends to show up alongside other clues, and most people already have more evidence pointing to the cause than they realize, well before any test gets ordered.

The obvious ones, but the pattern matters as much as the presence.

Easy to check yourself, and often the first real clue.

02 · What we typically find

Uncovering the root causes

Every case is different, but the root-cause map usually runs through some combination of these, and they reinforce each other, which is why treating just one rarely holds. Tap any card for the detail.

Tap a system in the diagram above to see how it drives your symptoms.

#1 · NUTRIENTS

Nutrient status

  • B vitamins, magnesium, CoQ10, and iron are required cofactors at nearly every step of cellular energy production
  • High-dose B1 has reduced fatigue severity by roughly 40% in multiple studies
  • Six weeks of magnesium repletion has been shown to improve subjective energy by over 50%
  • Low on any one of these and energy production is already compromised

#2 · ENDOTOXIN

Gut-derived endotoxin

  • Endotoxin (LPS) from gut bacteria inhibits mitochondrial energy production at multiple levels
  • Higher-fat meals increase how much endotoxin gets absorbed into the bloodstream
  • Especially significant with existing bacterial overgrowth or a compromised gut barrier
  • One of the most common and overlooked drivers of persistent fatigue

#3 · OXIDATIVE STRESS

Oxidative stress

  • Damages mitochondria directly and disrupts blood flow
  • Impedes the delivery of energy substrates into cells
  • Mitochondrial DNA has far less repair capacity than DNA in the nucleus, making it especially vulnerable to this kind of damage
  • Poor antioxidant defense and poor energy production feed each other in a two-way loop that has to be addressed from both directions

#4 · THYROID

Thyroid function

  • Thyroid hormone is the primary driver of your total metabolic rate
  • It acts directly at the mitochondrial level to increase energy-producing enzyme activity
  • Chronic stress blocks the conversion of inactive T4 into active T3
  • Low thyroid signaling means low mitochondrial activation, full stop

#5 · BLOOD FLOW

Blood flow & oxygen delivery

  • Reduced blood flow impairs oxygen delivery, which cells need for energy production
  • Carbon dioxide is a primary factor in how well oxygen actually reaches your tissues
  • Elevated homocysteine and excess blood clotting both restrict circulation further
  • People with chronic fatigue have been found to have significantly more microclots

#6 · MITOCHONDRIAL FUNCTION

Mitochondrial function

  • How many mitochondria you have, and how well they're working, determines how much real energy your body can actually produce
  • A low NAD+/NADH ratio stalls mitochondrial output and raises lactic acid production, a hallmark of chronic fatigue
  • AMPK, PGC1α, and sirtuins are the body's master regulators for building new, more efficient mitochondria
  • Supporting these pathways increases both the number and the output of your mitochondria

#7 · IMMUNE

Immune & viral activity

  • Viral triggers like EBV, HHV-6, and CMV are implicated in a large share of chronic fatigue cases
  • These viruses can reduce mitochondrial DNA replication and increase oxidative stress
  • CRH, the first step in the cortisol cascade, activates neuroinflammatory immune cells in the brain
  • That neuroinflammation is directly tied to fatigue, cognitive impairment, and low mood

#8 · CIRCADIAN

Circadian disruption

  • Roughly 20% of all genes are under circadian control, including genes for hormones, oxidative stress, and inflammation
  • Bright morning light is the primary signal that keeps this rhythm on track
  • An off rhythm throws off the hormonal cascade your energy production depends on
  • Small, consistent light and timing habits have an outsized effect here

#9 · TOXINS

Environmental toxin burden

  • Heavy metals directly disrupt mitochondrial membranes and enzymes
  • Mycotoxins and certain pesticides inhibit specific steps of the electron transport chain
  • Common medications, including some statins and antibiotics, can lower CoQ10 or impair mitochondrial protein synthesis
  • Cumulative exposure adds up even when no single source seems significant on its own

See more than one of these showing up for you? That's typical, not the exception. Most cases of chronic fatigue trace back to several of these systems at once.

03 · How we gather data on you

Building your complete picture

Symptoms, history, diet and lifestyle usually get us most of the way there on their own. A low morning temperature, a sluggish resting pulse, and a crash after meals already tell us a lot before a single lab is ordered. Testing earns its place from there; it's never the starting point.

Symptoms and history get us most of the way there first. Testing earns its place from there, never the starting point.

Symptoms History Diet Lifestyle A working picture, before we test
  1. Detail your full history

    When symptoms started, what may have triggered them (a viral illness, a major stressor, postpartum, extreme dieting or fasting), and how they've evolved.

  2. Log your current stack

    What you're taking now and everything you've already tried. This isn't just to avoid repeating dead ends. What helped, what didn't, and what made things worse is real diagnostic information that helps us narrow down your actual root cause.

  3. Track your baseline

    Morning temperature, resting pulse, and daily energy levels, plus diet tracking, so we can see nutrient intake and potential gaps that could be contributing. Real data on your body, not a one-time snapshot.

  4. Upload existing labs

    We analyze any lab data you've already gotten in context with the rest of your information.

  5. Meet your dedicated advisor

    A one-on-one session that probes the specifics your intake can't capture, where history, symptoms, tracking, and labs get synthesized into an actual plan.

  6. Precision lab testing

    Based on everything from steps 1-5, we identify exactly which labs are actually worth running for your case. This goes well beyond a standard TSH: free T3, reverse T3, ferritin, inflammatory markers, and nutrient status are all in scope when your presentation calls for it. If your case calls for it, we can also run an organic acids test (OAT) or more advanced mitochondrial testing to dig deeper into what's happening at the cellular level.

Our approach to testing

We will order labs when your case calls for it, but we're deliberate about how we use them and honest about their limits. A standard thyroid panel usually measures TSH alone, which can look "normal" even when real dysfunction is present. TSH can be suppressed by stress, cortisol, and other factors, and it says nothing about whether T4 is actually converting to active T3 at the cellular level, or how well that hormone is being used once it gets there. We've seen countless clients come in with "perfect" labs and a body temperature like a hibernating bear. The same caution applies to metabolic testing more broadly: you can measure intermediates of glycolysis, amino acid breakdown, and the Krebs cycle in blood or urine, but those levels don't always reflect what's actually happening inside a specific tissue, since blood and urine only capture what's circulating, not what's going on inside the cell. Testing can be genuinely useful, and it can also be genuinely misleading if you don't understand exactly what a given marker is (and isn't) telling you. That's why we weigh functional signs, like morning temperature, resting pulse, and symptom history, alongside labs rather than treating a single blood draw as the final word.

04 · How we build your protocol

Precision interventions

Your protocol is never generic. Each piece is chosen based on your specific root causes, history, and how your body responds. The cards below show a sample of the tools we draw from, not the full list, since your actual plan is built around what your case specifically needs. Tap any card for detail.

Nutrient repletion

  • High-dose thiamine (B1) when indicated, one of the most studied nutrients for fatigue specifically
  • Magnesium repletion, since deficiency is extremely common in persistent fatigue
  • CoQ10 to directly support mitochondrial energy production
  • Dosing and combination are based on your labs and presentation, not a fixed protocol

Gut & endotoxin reduction

  • Diet adjustments to lower endotoxin absorption when fat intake is a factor
  • Botanical or targeted antimicrobial support when bacterial or fungal overgrowth is present
  • Barrier-supporting nutrients to reduce the gut's contribution to systemic inflammation

Antioxidant support

  • Vitamin C to directly support antioxidant status and lower cortisol
  • NAC and glycine as glutathione precursors, the body's primary antioxidant
  • Taurine for its combined antioxidant and mitochondrial-supportive properties

Thyroid & metabolic support

  • Correcting selenium, zinc, or iodine status when indicated
  • Ensuring adequate carbohydrate intake, since low intake directly suppresses thyroid output
  • Direct thyroid hormone support when your case calls for it

Blood flow support

  • Breathing practices that support healthy carbon dioxide levels and oxygen delivery
  • Homocysteine-lowering nutrients (B2, B6, B9, B12, glycine, choline) when levels are elevated
  • Addressing excess blood clotting risk when it's identified as a contributing factor

Mitochondrial support

  • NAD+ precursors (niacinamide, NMN, or NR) to restore a healthy NAD+/NADH ratio
  • Support for AMPK and PGC1α pathways to stimulate the growth of new, more efficient mitochondria
  • Targeted when lactate buildup or reduced mitochondrial capacity is identified in your case

Immune & antiviral support

  • Targeted support when a viral trigger (EBV, HHV-6, CMV) is identified in your history
  • Strategies to calm neuroinflammation and lower chronic immune activation
  • Lymphatic support to help clear inflammatory waste when indicated

Circadian recalibration

  • Consistent sleep/wake timing
  • Optimizing the light environment, especially bright light first thing in the morning
  • Regular meal timing to keep hormonal signaling on schedule

Toxin reduction

  • Identifying and reducing exposure to heavy metals, mycotoxins, or other mitochondrial toxins when relevant
  • Supporting the body's own detoxification pathways
  • Reviewing medications and supplements for anything that may be quietly working against your mitochondria
