🙍‍♀️Ask The Expert: Understanding Women's Fatigue Beyond Just Burnt Out

Why Am I Always So Tired? Is "exhausted" your new normal? 😴 Running on empty, even after a full night's sleep? You're not alone. While the demands of parenting and daily life are real, that persistent, deep-seated fatigue might be more than just burnout. It could be your body's way of signalling an underlying issue—from hormonal imbalances and nutrient deficiencies to chronic stress. To help us understand the difference between being tired and chronic fatigue, we're honoured to host Dr. Odelia Koh, Medical Director of PROLOGUE The Lifestyle Medical Clinic. She specialises in a holistic approach to women's health and will help us look beyond the surface. This is your chance to get expert medical insights. Ask her anything, for example: What are the key medical reasons for fatigue in women, aside from lack of sleep? How do my hormones (e.g., thyroid, cortisol) affect my energy levels? What blood tests should I consider if I'm constantly tired? Are there specific dietary changes or supplements that can genuinely help fight fatigue? When should I be concerned that my tiredness is a sign of something more serious? 👇 Drop your questions for Dr. Odelia Koh in the comments below! She will be answering them from 18 - 24 August 2025. Don't miss this chance to finally get some answers. #AskTheExpert #WomensHealth #Fatigue #TiredMom #MomBurnout #HormonalHealth #theAsianparent

Juggling work and chores with lack of sleep already super exhausted. Mental load to keep stock of items in the house that needs replacing and plan meals. Any safe supplements that may help boost energy levels and mind and possibly safe to take for long term?
