5 Reasons You’re Exhausted Even When Your Labs Look Normal
Tue Feb 03 2026
Fatigue is one of the most common complaints—even among people whose blood work comes back “normal.”
In this episode, we break down five physiological reasons energy stays low despite normal labs, and why fatigue is often a regulation problem, not a deficiency problem.
You’ll learn:• Why normal labs don’t reflect energy output• How nervous system tone impacts fatigue• What mitochondrial efficiency has to do with stamina• Why blood sugar swings drain energy• How circadian rhythm and inflammation quietly suppress recovery
This episode is designed to help you understand what’s actually happening in your body—and what to correct—without chasing more tests or supplements.
If your labs look fine but your energy doesn’t, this episode will clarify why.
