Running on empty
Dr. Jerry Bailey | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 9 years, 6 months AGO
The most common complaints that patients have are "I am tired. I have no energy. I wake up tired." Fatigue is becoming the number one reason people seek medical care. Unfortunately, today's urgent care-based medicine is not equipped to diagnose nor understand the root cause of fatigue. Fatigue can be the result of hormone imbalance, blood issues, inflammation, the inability of the body to handle stress, structural issues, dietary choices, occult infections or dysbiosis in the intestinal tract, to name just a few.
The "why" you are fatigued is the key to correcting the problem. Your specific issues are unique to you and only you. Your unique biochemistry, physiology, genetics, environment, diet and lifestyle have an affect on how and why you feel the way you do. Exploring those aspects through talking one-on-one and laboratory tests, we can determine why you are tired and feel like you are running on empty.
After discovering the "why," we can then determine "how" to remedy it. What is special about how I practice is I have multiple techniques to address your unique "why." I am able to address your uniqueness with functional medicine/nutrition, chiropractic care and acupuncture. With the use of specific metabolic testing, which may include blood and genetics, I can determine the underlying causes of your fatigue These three tools find and correct the reason you feel tired: structure, function and biochemical.
Are you tired of running on empty? Find out why and let's get you living again.

Thrive, don't just survive: Finding the reason you are sick, tired or in pain
Most acute and chronic diseases are created by exposure to toxins, microbes, allergens, poor diet, stress and mechanical injury. Any perturbation to the body by any of those six items will cause a change in how the body functions: an adaptation for the good or bad. Overtime with consistent attack from one or any combination of those items the body falls ill. Functional medicine involves the use of all the tools available: laboratory testing, acupuncture, chiropractic, nutrition, supplements, herbals, vitamins/minerals, genetic testing and most importantly listening to the you, the patient.
My brain isn't working and I am tired all the time
Does this describe you and how you feel everyday? These are a few of the most common complaints given by patients that walk into our clinic every day. They report feeling burned out, tired, never feeling rested, waking up at night, can’t get back to sleep, grumpy, irritable, walking around in a fog, can’t remember much of anything any more and no get up and go.
