Fatigue Treatment in Edmonton

Our Naturopaths have mastered treatment of fatigue

Low energy and fatigue is the most common concern seen at our clinic. 

Our Naturopaths look at all possible areas to find out precisely why your energy is low.

TruMed's Naturopathic Doctors often have excellent results in fatigue cases.

We also offer various IV Therapies for energy & fatigue to produce rapid results.

Our Nurse Practitioner offers Hormone Replacement for aggressive fatigue management.

Our Naturopaths are experienced in fatigue

Thyroid

Our Naturopaths often will do a deep dive and run nutritional and advanced Thyroid Testing (TSH, FT3, FT4, TPO).

Our Naturopaths always screen our fatigue patients for Hypothyroidism.

We even make sure that patients already on Thyroid medication are converting and utilizing their Thyroid hormone medication appropriately. 

Our Naturopathic Doctors consider Thyroid an issue especially if accessory Thyroid symptoms are present in addition to fatigue: weakness, depression, constipation etc.

We always review your previous blood work in your first visit & many times our Naturopaths find issues in lab work that have been previously overlooked.

We offer Thyroid Replacement Therapy through our Nurse Practitioner - Synthroid, Desiccated Thyroid, Cytomel and T4/T3 combinations are frequently used.

Adrenals

Hypoadrenalism or "Adrenal Fatigue" is a common cause of fatigue our Naturopaths see in our Edmonton patients.

Signs and symptoms of hypoadrenalism may include fatigue, salt craving, positional blood pressure issues, insomnia and poor tolerance to stress. 

We usually run salivary or urinary hormones (often DHEA and Cortisol) to assess Adrenal health.

We commonly see this energy pattern in adrenal fatigue patients: morning fatigue, mid-day dip in energy and best energy in the evening. 

Occasionally, bio-identical Cortisol replacement is used (low dose Hydrocortisone) as an aggressive Cortisol replacement strategy through our NP.

Androgens

We always screen our Edmonton patients for low male hormones (Androgens) - Testosterone and DHEA.

Both Testosterone and DHEA affect energy, memory, muscle mass, mood and libido in men and women.

In men, Testosterone levels fall at an average of 1-2% per year after the age of 30.

Although herbal and nutritional options are available to boost these levels, in our experience, the effects are frequently modest.

Through our Nurse Practitioner, we offer a range of Androgen Replacement options including Testosterone (creams, gels, shots) and DHEA (orally or as a cream).

Furthermore, we work with substances that can augment endogenous Testosterone production such as hCG and Clomid.

Adrenal, Thyroid, & Hormonal Test Reports

Nutrients

Magnesium - Magnesium is required for the synthesis and utilization of ATP, the major storage form of energy in the body.

Several studies have found that magnesium levels are low in patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

So our Naturopaths load our patients up with oral and IV Magnesium at our Edmonton clinic. Magnesium potassium aspartate is particularly helpful for Fatigue when given orally. 

B12 - B12 is used to make Succinyl-CoA - an important part of the citric acid cycle (Krebs).

Our Naturopaths use Intramuscular B12 shots and give large IV B12 doses of B12 for fatigue.

We usually want to see our patients' B12 levels above 700 pg/ml but some patients feel their best with levels well over 1000 pg/ml. 

Vitamin D - Vitamin D deficiency can cause fatigue, and low Vitamin D can also cause aches and pains.

For many of our Edmonton patients we recommend doses around 5000 - 8000 IU of Vitamin D3, usually with a meal because it's fat soluble unless it's already emulsified. 

Iodine - Our Naturopaths screen many of our Edmonton patients with fatigue for Iodine deficiency.

Iodine is a main component of Thyroid hormone and is a common cause of fatigue even with normal Thyroid tests.

Our Naturopath clinic offers Edmonton Urinary Iodine Testing which is not available in Edmonton through Alberta Health.

Nutritional Test Reports

Our Naturopaths work with a full range of fatigue treatments at our Edmonton Clinic.

We can even screen our fatigue patients for Heavy Metals, Mold or Viral infections if standard alternative evaluations are insufficient.

Our Naturopaths have seen many young fatigued patients with EBV or HHV-6 active viral infections.

We offer herbal, glandular, nutritional and hormonal fatigue treatment options at our Edmonton clinic. 

Support strength is determined based on your test results. 

IV Therapy

Three of our Naturopaths, use IV Therapy for aggressive fatigue treatment.

IV Therapy often gets rapid results even in long standing chronic fatigue.

IV NAD+ is a popular treatment in Edmonton for energy that our Naturopaths have a lot of experience with.

We also get great results with our standard Myers Cocktail Vitamin IV

B12 shots, PolyMVA & NADH are also commonly used to treat fatigue with frequently rapid results.
