What causes chronic fatigue?

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a complex disorder that causes extreme exhaustion, cognitive dysfunction, dizziness, and muscle or joint pain.

The exact cause of chronic fatigue isn’t well-understood, but your gut health can contribute to the condition. Within your gut are trillions of microorganisms like fungi, parasites, bacteria, and viruses that support the function of your gut and other body systems.

When there’s an imbalance in these microorganisms, you may be at increased risk for chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and chronic diseases. People with chronic fatigue syndrome may have higher or lower levels of certain microorganisms than those that are in good health.

The DNA Diet Club specializes in customized diet plans to ease and prevent symptoms of chronic fatigue. The providers use information from genetic testing and gut biome testing to identify imbalances in your gut health.

When should I seek medical help for chronic fatigue?
