What we explore

Symptoms usually have more than one contributor.

We consider the areas that most often drive what you are experiencing, then narrow down to the ones your history and examination point towards.

  • 01Sleep quality
  • 02Thyroid function
  • 03Hormonal health
  • 04Metabolic health
  • 05Nutritional deficiencies
  • 06Iron status
  • 07Vitamin status
  • 08Lifestyle and workload
  • 09Exercise and recovery
  • 10Medication effects
  • 11Psychological contributors
  • 12Other medical causes of fatigue

How we investigate

Assessment before assumption.

Investigations are selected according to your history, symptoms, examination and clinical context. Not every patient requires every test.

  • Detailed fatigue and medical history

  • Relevant blood testing

  • Thyroid assessment

  • Iron and nutritional markers

  • Metabolic markers

  • Hormonal assessment where appropriate

  • Sleep assessment

  • Medication review

  • Further investigation or referral where clinically indicated

Investigation is only useful when it changes what we do. Once we understand the likely drivers of your symptoms or health concern, we build a focused treatment strategy around the findings.

Further specialist investigation where required

Fatigue is a symptom, not a diagnosis. The aim is to understand what may be driving it before deciding how to treat it.

Focused care. One priority at a time.

Your consultation is centred on the reason you booked. If we identify another area that would benefit from deeper assessment, we may recommend a separate focused consultation rather than trying to address everything superficially in one appointment.
