Energy and vitality

The Energy & Vitality program is a physician-guided program for people who feel tired most of the time and want their energy back. It is for anyone running on empty, from busy parents to professionals, who has tried sleeping more and still feels drained.

It looks for the reasons behind your tiredness, checks common causes with laboratory tests when requested, and builds a plan around what is found.

Causes found, not guessed

Your physician looks at sleep, stress, nutrition, routine and the health conditions that commonly cause tiredness.

Common culprits checked

Tests collected at home, when requested, can check for anemia, thyroid problems, blood sugar issues and low vitamin levels.

A plan for steadier days

Practical changes to sleep, meals and activity that keep your energy more even.

Warning signs taken seriously

Your physician will tell you if your tiredness needs in-person care.

Follow-up

Regular check-ins to see what is helping.

Your energy depends on your cells turning food and oxygen into fuel. That needs enough sleep, enough iron to carry oxygen, a working thyroid to set the pace, steady blood sugar and manageable stress. When one of these slips, tiredness is often the first sign.

The program works through each of them:

It checks your blood

Anemia and low iron reduce the oxygen your body can carry, and they are common, especially in women.

It checks your thyroid

The thyroid sets your body’s pace, and an underactive thyroid can cause tiredness and weight gain.

It steadies blood sugar

Big spikes and crashes cause energy dips through the day, and balanced meals keep energy more even.

It works on your sleep

Poor or short sleep is the most common cause of tiredness, so the plan addresses it directly.

It looks at mood and stress

Long-term stress and low mood drain energy, and they are part of the assessment.

Because tiredness usually has more than one cause, finding yours is what makes the plan work.

At the start

A review of your symptoms and routine, tests if requested, and your results explained.

As you go

Check-ins to see what is helping, with the plan adjusted.

Throughout

A plan based on your causes, and in-person care if anything needs it. Results vary from person to person.

This program may suit you if:

• You feel tired most of the time and do not know why.
• You want a physician to check for possible causes.
• You want a plan and follow-up, not guesswork.

Your physician will tell you if the program is not suitable for you, or if in-person care would serve you better.

Every part of the program is led or requested by your physician.

Your physician

A PRC-licensed physician reviews your history and goals, and decides what is clinically appropriate for you.

Regular follow-ups

Your care team reviews how you are doing and the plan is adjusted as you go.

Laboratory tests

Only if your physician requests them, based on your assessment. Not everyone needs them. Your sample is collected at home and a physician reviews every result.
