Some of the potential reasons to Be tired include; Nutrient Deficits – Low iron, vitamin B12, vitamin D, or magnesium will shoot your energy down. Skipping meals, or eating too many refined carbohydrates leads to energy crashes. Thyroid and Hormonal Imbalance – Common in women. – Chronic Stress or Burnout – Cortisol deficits will sap your energy. – Dehydration – Mild dehydration will give you a foggy and weak feeling. – Unexplored Medical Conditions – Anemia, PCOS, gut infection, or another medical condition. A long history of exhaustion is a call for a complete medical examination in order to identify the culprit and treat it.
