Episode 198: Fatigue. Future doctors Redden and Ibrahim discuss with Dr. Arreaza the different causes of fatigue, including physical and mental illnesses. Dr. Arreaza describes the steps to evaluate fatigue. Some common misconceptions are explained, such as vitamin D deficiency and “chronic Lyme disease”. Written by Michael Ibrahim, MSIV, and Jordan Redden, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Edits and comments by Hector Arreaza, MDYou are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Dr. Arreaza: Today is a great day to talk about fatigue. It is one of the most common and most complex complaints we see in primary care. It involves physical, mental, and emotional health. So today, we're walking through a case, breaking down causes, red flags, and how to work it up without ordering the entire lab catalog.Michael:Case: This is a 34-year-old female who comes in saying, "I've been feeling drained for the past 3 months." She says she's been sleeping 8 hours a night but still wakes up tired. No recent illnesses, no weight loss, fever, or night sweats. She denies depression or anxiety but does report a lot of work stress and taking care of her two little ones at home. She drinks 2 cups of coffee a day, doesn't drink alcohol, and doesn't use drugs. No medications, just a multivitamin. Regular menstrual cycles—but she's noticed they've been heavier recently.Jordan:Fatigue is a persistent sense of exhaustion that isn't relieved by rest. It's different from sleepiness or muscle weakness.Classification based on timeline: • Acute fatigue: less than 1 month • Subacute: 1 to 6 months • Chronic: more than 6 monthsThis patient's case is subacute—going on 3 months now.Dr. Arreaza:And we can think about fatigue in types: • Physical fatigue: like muscle tiredness after activity • Mental fatigue: trouble concentrating or thinking clearly (physical + mental when you are a medical student or resident) • Pathological fatigue: which isn't proportional to effort and doesn't get better with restAnd of course, there's chronic fatigue syndrome, also called myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), which is a diagnosis of exclusion after 6 months of disabling fatigue with other symptoms.Michael:The differential is massive. So, we can also group it by systems.Jordan:Let's run through the big ones.Endocrine / Metabolic Causes • Hypothyroidism: A classic cause of fatigue. Often associated with cold intolerance, weight gain, dry skin, and constipation. May be subtle and underdiagnosed, especially in women. • Diabetes Mellitus: Both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia can cause fatigue. Look for polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, or blurry vision in undiagnosed diabetes. • Adrenal Insufficiency: Think of this when fatigue is paired with hypotension, weight loss, salt craving, or hyperpigmentation. Can be primary (Addison's) or secondary (e.g., due to long-term steroid use).Michael: Hematologic Causes • Anemia (especially iron deficiency): Very common, especially in menstruating women. Look for fatigue with pallor, shortness of breath on exertion, and sometimes pica (craving non-food items). • Vitamin B12 or Folate Deficiency: B12 deficiency may present with fatigue plus neurologic symptoms like numbness, tingling, or gait issues. Folate deficiency tends to present with megaloblastic anemia and fatigue. • Anemia of Chronic Disease: Seen in patients with chronic inflammatory conditions like RA, infections, or CKD. Typically mild, normocytic, and improves when the underlying disease is treated.Michael: Psychiatric Causes • Depression: A major driver of fatigue, often underreported. May include anhedonia, sleep disturbance, appetite changes, or guilt. Sometimes presents with only somatic complaints. • Anxiety Disorders: Mental fatigue, poor sleep quality, and hypervigilance can leave patients feeling constantly drained. • Burnout Syndrome: Especially common in caregivers, healthcare workers, and educators. Emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment are key features.Jordan: Infectious Causes • Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV):Mononucleosis is a well-known cause of fatigue, sometimes lasting weeks. May also have sore throat, lymphadenopathy, and splenomegaly. • HIV:Consider it in high-risk individuals. Fatigue can be an early sign, along with weight loss, recurrent infections, or night sweats. • Hepatitis (B or C):Can present with chronic fatigue, especially if liver enzymes are elevated. Screen at-risk individuals. • Post-viral Syndromes / Long COVID:Fatigue that lingers for weeks or months after viral infection. Often, it includes brain fog, muscle aches, and post-exertional malaise.Important: Chronic Lyme disease is a controversial term without a consistent clinical definition and is often used to describe patients with persistent, nonspecific symptoms not supported by objective evidence of Lyme infection. Leading medical organizations reject the term and instead recognize "post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome" (PTLDS) for persistent symptoms following confirmed, treated Lyme disease, emphasizing that prolonged antibiotic therapy is not effective. Research shows no benefit—and potential harm—from extended antibiotic use, and patients with unexplained chronic symptoms should be thoroughly evaluated for other possible diagnoses.Michael: Cardiopulmonary Causes • Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): Fatigue from poor perfusion and low cardiac output. Often comes with dyspnea on exertion, edema, and orthopnea. • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Look for a smoking history, chronic cough, and fatigue from hypoxia or the work of breathing. • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Daytime fatigue despite adequate hours of sleep. Patients may snore, gasp, or report morning headaches. High suspicion in obese or hypertensive patients.Jordan:Autoimmune / Inflammatory Causes • Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE): Fatigue is often an early symptom. May also see rash, arthritis, photosensitivity, or renal involvement. • Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): Fatigue from systemic inflammation. Morning stiffness, joint pain, and elevated inflammatory markers point to RA. • Fibromyalgia: A chronic pain syndrome with widespread tenderness, fatigue, nonrestorative sleep, and sometimes cognitive complaints ("fibro fog").Cancer / Malignancy • Leukemia, lymphoma, or solid tumors: Fatigue can be the first symptom, often accompanied by weight loss, night sweats, or unexplained fevers. Consider when no other cause is evident.Michael:Medications:Common culprits include: ◦ Beta-blockers: Can slow heart rate too much. ◦ Antihistamines: Sedating H1 blockers like diphenhydramine. ◦ Sedatives or sleep aids: Can cause grogginess and daytime sedation. • Substance Withdrawal: Fatigue can be seen in withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, or stimulants. Caffeine withdrawal, though mild, can also contribute.Dr. Arreaza:Whenever we evaluate fatigue, we need to keep an eye out for red flags. These should raise suspicion for something more serious: • Unintentional weight loss • Night sweats • Persistent fever • Neurologic symptoms • Lymphadenopathy • Jaundice • Palpitations or chest painThis patient doesn't have these—but that doesn't mean we stop here.Dr. Arreaza:Those are a lot of causes, we can evaluate fatigue following 7 steps:Characterize the fatigue.Look for organic illness.Evaluate medications and substances.Perform psychiatric screening.Ask questions about quantity and quality of sleep.Physical examination.Undertake investigations.So, students, do we send the whole lab panel?Michael:Not necessarily. Labs should be guided by history and physical. But here's a good initial panel: • CBC: To check for anemia or infection • TSH: Screen for hypothyroidism • CMP: Look at electrolytes, kidney, and liver function • Ferritin and iron studies • B12, folate • ESR/CRP for inflammation (not specific) • HbA1c if diabetes is on the radarJordan:And if needed, consider: • HIV, EBV, hepatitis panel • ANA, RF • Cortisol or ACTH stimulation testImaging? Now that's rare—unless there are specific signs. Like chest X-ray for possible cancer or TB, or sleep study if you suspect OSA.Dr. Arreaza:Unaddressed fatigue isn't just inconvenient. It can impact on quality of life, affect job performance, lead to mood disorders, delay diagnosis of serious illness, increase risk of accidents—especially driving. So, don't ignore your patients with fatigue!Jordan:And some people—like women, caregivers, or shift workers—are especially at risk.Michael:The cornerstone of treatment is addressing the underlying cause.Jordan:If it's iron-deficiency anemia—treat it. If it's depression—get mental health involved. But there's also: Lifestyle Support: Better sleep hygiene, light physical activity, mindfulness or CBT for stress, balanced nutrition—especially iron and protein, limit caffeine and alcoholDr. Arreaza:Sometimes medications help—but rarely. And for chronic fatigue syndrome, the current best strategies are graded exercise therapy and CBT, along with managing specific symptoms. Beta-alanine has potential to modestly improve muscular endurance and reduce fatigue in older adults, but more high-quality research is needed.SSRI: fluoxetine and sertraline. Iron supplements: Even without anemia, but low ferritin [Anecdote about low ferritin patient]Jordan:This case reminds us to take fatigue seriously. In her case, it may be multifactorial—work stress, caregiving burden, and possibly iron-deficiency anemia. So, how would we wrap up this conversation, Michael?Michael:We don't need to order everything under the sun. A focused history and exam, targeted labs, and being alert to red flags can guide us.Jordan:And don't forget the basics—sleep, stress, and nutrition. These are just as powerful as any prescription.Dr. Arreaza:We hope today's episode on fatigue has given you a clear framework and some practical tips. If you enjoyed this episode, share it and subscribe for more evidence-based medicine!Jordan:Take care—and get some rest~___________________________Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser.

247: Did you know public schools serve more meals than any restaurant chain in America? And yet, many of those meals come from fast food giants instead of farms. This week, I'm joined by the CEO of Real Certified—a company on a mission to change that. Through their initiative Eat Real, they're working with school districts to replace ultra-processed cafeteria food with fresh, locally-sourced meals that kids actually enjoy. In this episode, you'll learn how Real Certified is empowering parents, partnering with real farmers, and making it easier than ever for schools to serve real, nutritious food. If you've ever looked at your child's lunch tray and thought, “There has to be a better way,” this conversation is your answer. Topics Discussed: How can parents help improve school lunches in public schools? What is the Eat Real program and how does it work in school cafeterias? Why are ultra-processed foods still being served in American school lunches? What are the health impacts of poor nutrition in school-aged children? How can schools transition from processed food to real, locally-sourced meals?

Our conversation with Nadia Bevan continues our series profiling research about women's football. Angela Christian-Wilkes and Nadia delve into Nadia's ethnographic research on developing a women's football team at a club in Melbourne. We discuss the structures that include and exclude within community sport, building inclusive practices, and the messiness of insider research. Nadia is an early career researcher specialising in the barriers and enablers of access to sport for a range of groups, including women, girls, youth and the LGBTQIA+ community. She completed a PhD in Education at Monash University, looking at weight stigma as a barrier to physical activity.

Her newest book is “Weathering: The Extraordinary Stress of Ordinary Life in an Unjust Society.” Note: This podcast was first published on 28th May, 2023.

If you are someone interested in both ancient wisdom and modern science's approaches to mental health and wellness, then you are going to love this interview as Paul Krauss MA LPC interviews 2 experts who have a penchant for convergence. While most of the United States is clearly divided on political stances, the same often goes for medicine where people will blindly dismiss anything that doesn't fit their personal identity paradigm, sticking to their version of "medicine" with an emotional fervor: Either 1. Modern/ Western Medicine Approaches, or 2. Natural or "holistic" Methods. While the emerging field of Functional Medicine has made some progress on merging the best of Modern and Holistic Approaches, it often falls short. Dr. Nicole Cain ND MA (Board-Certified NMD in Arizona and Master's of Clinical Psychology) and Hadlee Garrison (University of Michigan with a B.S. in Biopsychology, Cognition, and Neuroscience and an Master's of Public Health in Health Behavior and Health Education) are a powerhouse in utilizing both the research, testing, and breakthroughs of modern and Western medicine along with time-tested approaches that are more Natural and Holistic. The conversation flows are we explore what exactly "holistic mental health" is and why it is important to people who are looking to heal from mental health related stress and improve overall wellness. Dr. Nicole Cain, ND MA is a nationally renowned expert in natural mental health, helping people transform their mental health naturally by uncovering the root cause. She has been published by Salon Magazine, Well + Good, Psychology Today, quoted in Forbes and more! Happy Healthy Hadlee is an ayurvedic expert, academic, healer and her mission is to teach people how to transform their habits, health, bodies, energy, confidence, and all of the other things in order to lead less stressed and more joyful lives.

Have you ever tried hypnotherapy? In this episode, I sat down with Brooke Ansley, a hypnotherapist, to talk about how you can use hypnotherapy to achieve your health and wellness goals. Brooke used it herself to change her behavior and belief systems around things that were keeping her from her health goals, and it completely shifted the way she views exercise and health. Brooke is a certified hypnotherapist and creator of Happy Body Blueprint, a course that teaches women how to build a fit body with hypnosis, so they can ditch the diet cycle for good. She combines her passion for the mind-body connection with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, a 200-hour yoga instructor certification, and a unique skill set as a former Applied Behavioral Analysis Therapist. Brooke aims to help women heal their negative inner self-talk, so they can free up headspace for more motivation, happiness, and healthier choices. It's her goal to empower women to reconnect with their bodies and create long-term, sustainable health. Hypnotherapy is a great way to tap into your subconscious mind and reconnect with your body so that you know what it really needs. Tune in to learn from Brooke about how hypnotherapy can help you reach all of your health and wellness goals.

This week we have the pleasure of speaking with Inara Valliani, a Public Health Candidate in Health Behavior at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. She talks about her background and journey into the field. Inara “geeks out” and blesses us all with her knowledge on health as a social model of how we live, play, and work, not just a medical model of illness or wellness. We get into the social determinants of health, the various factors that make up our individual and societal health. Plus, Inara introduces us to the concept of “positionality”. Hien and Zahra wrap up with their thoughts on the episode and a heated conversation about the relationship to the coaching industry and neoliberalism. Inara's email: Inara.Valliana@gmail.com Inara (she/her) is a 1st year Master of Public Health candidate at UNC-Chapel Hill in the Gillings School of Global Public Health. Inara became passionate about public health after witnessing and experiencing the chronic effects that health disparities pose on the well-being of communities, specifically on people with marginalized identities. She has spent a significant portion of her academic career studying health equity, substance use prevention, and adverse childhood experiences. She currently serves as a Graduate Research Assistant in the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center supporting junior faculty and BIPOC staff on grant writing mechanisms. Additionally, she works with Planned Parenthood's Muslim Organizing Program in the South Atlantic Region, where she supports community mobilization efforts through coalition building, facilitates meaningful conversations about sexual and reproductive health, and empowers fellow Muslim Americans in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Area. In her free time, you can usually find Inara listening to music or going to concerts. A typical conversation with her will likely include anecdotes about her hometown Atlanta, her love of Dunkin Donuts, and her extensive sneaker collection.
