01 — Comprehensive assessment
Review fatigue onset, sleep, nutrition, existing results and worsening after exertion.
Focused programs / Core Wellness Programs
Persistent fatigue can make ordinary tasks feel difficult. A comprehensive assessment considers symptom patterns, health history and everyday factors without assuming a single cause.

Explore how cells produce energy, then consider sleep, daily rhythms, activity and health history as parts of a fuller picture of fatigue.

Explore the illustration
A mitochondrion is a small structure inside a cell. Its outer membrane surrounds the organelle.
The inner membrane forms folds called cristae. Proteins in this membrane participate in producing ATP, a molecule cells use to transfer energy.
The space enclosed by the inner membrane is the matrix, where several metabolic reactions take place. This is one part of cellular energy production.
Energy in everyday life
01 / Body clock
Circadian rhythms help coordinate sleep and wakefulness across roughly 24 hours. Light and darkness are important signals, and patterns of alertness differ between people.
How does your energy change across the day, and how does that relate to your sleep timing?
Cellular energy production and feeling fatigued are not the same measurement. Fatigue has many possible contributors; this illustration does not diagnose mitochondrial dysfunction.
02 / Sleep & rest
Consider your sleep routine, how restorative sleep feels and how fatigue changes throughout the day.
When do you feel most rested, and when does fatigue affect you most?
This is one part of the assessment, not an explanation for every experience of fatigue.
03 / Nutrition & routine
Eating patterns and daily routines are considered alongside health history and existing results.
What does a typical day look like for meals, rest and responsibilities?
The conversation starts with your circumstances rather than a standard supplement plan.
04 / Activity & recovery
Discuss what happens during activity and afterwards, including symptoms that worsen after exertion.
Does activity affect how you feel later that day or in the days that follow?
For people with ME/CFS, NICE advises against programmes with fixed increases in activity. Support needs to reflect individual capacity.
05 / Health history
Bring the timing of symptoms, previous assessments, current treatments and existing results into one conversation.
When did the fatigue begin, and what changed around that time?
This helps identify questions for assessment without assuming one universal cause.
Review fatigue onset, sleep, nutrition, existing results and worsening after exertion.
Identify relevant assessment questions and individualized rest, nutrition and daily-support strategies.
Monitor response, reassess unanswered concerns and adapt support to current capacity.
The way we care
we focus on cause behind the symptoms and support body natural ability to heal via food, nutrition and lifestyle.
01 / Food
Food choices, eating habits and the routines that shape your day.
02 / Nutrition
Nutritional priorities considered alongside your health history and personal goals.
03 / Lifestyle
Sleep, movement, stress and practical changes that suit your circumstances.
Dr. Patel focuses on understanding the concerns behind your symptoms and tailoring care to your health history, nutrition, lifestyle and goals. Identify relevant assessment questions and individualized rest, nutrition and daily-support strategies.
Results and individual responses vary.
Activity advice should reflect your symptoms. If effort makes you worse, bring that to the assessment. Fixed increases in exercise are not appropriate for ME/CFS.
Fatigue can have different explanations. ME/CFS requires a specific assessment, including the pattern of symptoms and consideration of other possible causes.
Testing depends on your history, symptoms and existing results. Discuss what further assessment is needed with the clinician responsible for your medical care.
New or worsening symptoms need reassessment. Seek emergency care for new chest pain, severe breathlessness or collapse.
Book an initial consultation with Dr. Shyama Patel to discuss your concerns and next steps.
