What is low energy?

Low energy is subjective based on your typical or expected energy levels. While fatigue can appear for numerous reasons, hormone imbalances are common causes of low energy. Determining the reason for your sluggishness and treating it is vital to maintaining the quality of life you deserve.

What are the symptoms linked to hormone-related low energy?

Low energy due to hormone imbalances may appear as:

Physical or mental fatigue
Sleepiness
Difficulty concentrating or paying attention
Weakness
Needing to take naps during the day
Falling asleep at work
Skipping workouts because of feeling tired
Low libido
Weight gain
Lack of motivation
Depression

You might have difficulty staying or falling asleep because of hormone fluctuations. Mood changes, cold intolerance, thinning hair, hot flashes, increased body fat, and reduced muscle mass are also common.

What else can cause low energy?

Hormone imbalances aren’t the only cause of low energy. Other potential contributors include:

Aging
Stress
Medical conditions
Some medications
Cancer treatments
Stress
Irregular sleep schedules
Lack of sleep
Nutrient deficiencies
Overweight or obesity
Lack of exercise, endurance, or strength
Anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders

Adopting healthy habits is the best way to minimize the risk of low energy, but you can’t always avoid it without medical intervention.

Why do I have low energy?

To effectively treat low energy, it’s vital to determine its root cause. Your Elevate Health provider discusses your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and goals. They order lab tests to establish if you have imbalanced hormones, nutrient deficiencies, or other reasons for fatigue.

How can I eliminate low energy using hormone therapy?

Treating low energy with hormone therapy may involve one of the following hormone replacement therapy treatments:

Injections
Gels
Creams
Pills

Your specialist provides a prescription for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. It’s important to follow your hormone treatment plan exactly as directed and take the recommended dose. Over the next few weeks and months, your energy levels should gradually increase.

Follow up with your Elevate Health provider routinely to monitor hormone levels using blood work and a review of symptoms. They can alter your treatment regimen if needed to ensure your hormones remain balanced long-term.

How can I keep my energy levels high?

Maintaining high energy involves sticking to your hormone therapy treatment as directed, eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly, and losing weight or maintaining an ideal body weight. Create a regular sleep schedule, minimize stress, manage depression, and call the Elevate Health office at any time with questions about your treatment plan.
