248: Why Rest Isn't Working For You // Functional Approaches to Chronic Fatigue
Wed Feb 04 2026
From a functional medicine perspective, fatigue isn't caused by a single thing; it's the result of multiple systems being depleted at the same time.
In this episode of Paige Talks Wellness, I unpack why "just rest" often isn't enough for chronic fatigue, burnout, postpartum depletion, and nervous system exhaustion, and why struggling to feel better doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong.
Why rest alone can't fix chronic fatigue and burnout
Why slowing down can feel worse before it feels better
How to support your body without doing more or trying harder
The difference between resting and recovering
... and more!
