727. Why Am I So Tired? The Labs Every Woman Needs

Being exhausted every day is not normal.

Not the “I need a little nap” kind of tired. I’m talking about the kind of exhaustion where:

• You can’t do the grocery store + make dinner in the same day.

• Folding a load of laundry feels like climbing a mountain.

• You cancel plans (again) because you just can’t.

And when you bring it up? You get told: “Maybe you’re just stressed.” “It's just getting older” "That's just part of being a woman. 

No. You are not crazy for feeling this way. And you deserve answers.

Your energy levels are the result of so many pieces working together behind the scenes. When even one gets thrown off, your whole system feels it.

Here’s what I always recommend looking at when women tell me they’re this tired:

Dutch Test — my favorite starting point. It gives a deep dive into your:

• Cortisol levels throughout the day (a huge player in energy)

• Estrogen, progesterone & androgens (hello stamina + muscle strength)

• B vitamin markers & nutrient levels

• Methylation process (how your body actually uses what you give it)

Iron Levels — one of the most common deficiencies in women, especially if you’ve been told “your labs look fine” but you still feel awful.

Thyroid Panel — because a “normal” result doesn’t mean optimal, and your thyroid is everything for your metabolism, mood, and energy.

Sometimes even inflammatory markers or other custom labs depending on what your Dutch test reveals.

Why a Dutch Test over everything else?

Because it shows the full picture. Not just one hormone. Not just one level. It helps us see the why behind your exhaustion so we can fix it at the source.

I can't tell you how many women I've worked with who were taking B vitamins or iron and still felt like garbage — because they weren’t addressing their cortisol patterns, methylation issues, or the fact they weren’t even absorbing their supplements properly.

You don’t need more guesswork. You need strategy.

This is exactly what we do in the 6 Month Female Hormone Solution.
