Why Am I Always Tired? Dr. Rock Shares Real Solutions to Boost Energy and Focus | Ep. 9

In this episode, Dr. Matthew Kettman tackles one of the most common complaints in healthcare: fatigue. He opens with gratitude and dives into why persistent tiredness shouldn’t be brushed off as normal aging. Dr. Kettman urges listeners to pursue proper medical evaluation, noting that fatigue often points to deeper issues worth investigating.

He outlines how doctors rule out serious conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer through exams, bloodwork, and imaging, while also considering medication side effects. Common but overlooked causes like B12 and D deficiencies, anemia, and thyroid problems are discussed, with a strong warning against self-diagnosis or supplementing without medical guidance.

The episode also explores fatigue tied to depression and sleep apnea—two conditions that can go unnoticed but have a major impact on energy. Dr. Kettman closes by championing lifestyle changes like exercise, which has been shown to outperform medication in some cases. His message is clear: fatigue is treatable, and help is available.
