CONDITION
Fatigue & Low Energy
If you wake up tired, drag through your afternoons, or feel like no amount of rest is ever enough, your body may be telling you something. At Confidence Clinic, we provide fatigue treatment in San Antonio, TX that looks for the reason behind your low energy and builds a plan to help you feel like yourself again.
UNDERSTANDING FATIGUE AND LOW ENERGY
When rest isn't enough.
Fatigue is more than feeling sleepy. It’s an ongoing lack of physical or mental energy that doesn’t improve with a good night’s sleep and starts to affect your work, mood, and daily life.
Low energy is usually a symptom, not the problem itself. It can come from hormone changes, low iron or vitamins, thyroid problems, poor sleep, stress, or a health condition that hasn’t been found yet. That’s why pushing through with more coffee rarely works, but finding the cause does.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, nearly 3 in 4 U.S. adults felt very tired or exhausted on at least some days over a three-month period, and about 1 in 6 felt that way on most days or every day.
The good news is that most causes of fatigue can be found and treated. Effective fatigue treatment in San Antonio, TX starts with a full picture of your health. Through our comprehensive wellness services, Ivette Reyes, APRN, FNP-C, reviews your symptoms, lifestyle, and lab work to build a personalized plan that restores your energy.

WHAT CAUSES IT
Low energy usually has a reason behind it.
Hormone Imbalances
Changes in thyroid hormone, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, or cortisol can drain your energy and affect your sleep and mood.
Nutrient Deficiencies
Low iron, vitamin B12, or vitamin D can leave your body without what it needs to make and use energy.
Poor Sleep
Not getting enough sleep, or sleep that’s frequently interrupted, keeps your body from fully recovering each night.
Chronic Stress and Burnout
Long-term stress keeps your body in overdrive, which wears down your energy, focus, and resilience over time.
Blood Sugar and Weight Changes
Insulin resistance, prediabetes, and carrying extra weight can cause energy crashes and ongoing tiredness.
Underlying Health Conditions
Anemia, thyroid disease, diabetes, sleep apnea, and depression can all cause fatigue. Our primary care services can help evaluate and manage these conditions.
TYPES WE TREAT
Fatigue looks different for everyone.
Chronic Daily Fatigue
Tiredness that lasts most of the day, most days, and doesn’t improve with rest.
Hormone-Related Fatigue
Low energy tied to thyroid, cortisol, or sex hormone imbalances, often alongside mood and sleep changes.
Perimenopause and Menopause Fatigue
Exhaustion linked to night sweats, poor sleep, and shifting estrogen and progesterone levels.
Low Testosterone Fatigue

Iron and Vitamin Deficiency Fatigue
Tiredness caused by low iron, B12, or vitamin D, which we identify through lab testing.
Stress and Burnout Fatigue
