Fatigue Bundle
Comprehensive assessment to help uncover the underlying causes of persistent tiredness or low energy by evaluating key biomarkers related to energy production, metabolism, and hormone balance. Persistent fatigue can significantly impact daily life and may stem from various underlying health issues. The Fatigue Bundle is designed to identify potential causes such as nutrient deficiencies, thyroid imbalances, or chronic inflammation by analysing specific biomarkers.

Common reasons for testing
- Persistent Fatigue or Low Energy – Identifies underlying causes of chronic tiredness that isn't alleviated by rest.
- Unexplained Weight Gain or Loss – Detects metabolic or hormonal imbalances affecting weight and energy levels.
- Poor Sleep Patterns – Evaluates factors contributing to disrupted sleep and resulting fatigue.
- Thyroid-Related Symptoms – Assesses thyroid function to identify hypo- or hyperthyroidism, which can cause fatigue.
- Nutrient Deficiency Symptoms – Detects deficiencies in vitamins or minerals that may lead to low energy and fatigue.
- Chronic Inflammation Indicators – Identifies markers of inflammation that can contribute to persistent fatigue.
