When Fatigue Isn’t Just Fatigue — Could It Be Vitamin Deficiency?

 By Dr. Shruthi Thennati | Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara

You wake up tired.
You crave sugar and coffee just to function.
You tell yourself — “It’s just stress” or “I didn’t sleep well.”
But what if your fatigue has a nutritional cause?

In today’s fast-paced world, even people who eat “well” can suffer from hidden vitamin deficiencies that silently drain their energy, mood, and focus.

The Hidden Energy Killers

Let’s look at a few nutrients your body might be craving without you realizing it:

1. Vitamin B12

  • Supports nerve health, red blood cells, and energy production.
  • Low B12 = fatigue, tingling in hands and feet, brain fog, and mood swings.
  • Found in: Eggs, fish, dairy, and fortified cereals.
    (Vegetarians and vegans are especially at risk.)

2. Vitamin D

  • The “sunshine vitamin” — crucial for mood, immunity, and hormonal health.
  • Deficiency symptoms: Low mood, body aches, poor immunity, and exhaustion.
  • Even in sunny India, most urban adults have low Vitamin D due to indoor lifestyles.

3. Iron

  • Essential for oxygen transport in blood.
  • Low iron = tiredness, breathlessness, pale skin, and hair fall.
  • Women of reproductive age are especially prone to deficiency.

4. Magnesium

  • Regulates over 300 body functions — including stress response and sleep.
  • Low magnesium = anxiety, poor sleep, and muscle cramps.

Why These Deficiencies Go Unnoticed

Because they mimic common lifestyle issues like burnout, poor sleep, or stress.
Many people treat the symptoms — more caffeine, painkillers, energy drinks — but never fix the cause.

🧠💥 Take Charge of Your Metabolic Health - Why Exercise is Your Secret Weapon!

  by Dr. Shruthi Thennati | Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara In today’s fast-paced world, where sedentary lifestyles, stress, and poor eating habits have led to a rise in obesity, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes, taking charge of your metabolic health is more important than ever. But where should you start? Let’s begin with a common question:   Does exercise really help with weight loss?  Absolutely. Whether it’s a 20-minute swim, a brisk 30-minute walk, or a session on the treadmill, you could burn around 250–350 calories. But here’s a fun fact — your body naturally burns 1300–1800 calories a day just by keeping you alive. This is called your resting metabolic rate. So, when you add exercise to the mix, you boost your calorie burn significantly — especially when it’s combined with the right nutrition plan. Now, you might ask, “Is diet more important than exercise?”  At Kayakalpa, we take a root-cause approach to chronic disease and emphasize that exercise is just...
