Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Treating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Feeling fatigued to the point where you are not able to live a normal life? If you are feeling confined to your bed and home simply because you do not have energy, you may have chronic fatigue syndrome. We want you to be able to live a happy and healthy life unimpeded by constant fatigue.

Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is the technical term for chronic fatigue syndrome. At PEAK, we will work closely with you to determine the root cause of your chronic fatigue. Once we determine the cause, through functional medicine, we can potentially help you regain your health and energy. Contact us for a health consultation today.

“In my experience, doctors use this diagnosis when everything else looks OK on testing and they don’t know what else to check. At PEAK, this means it’s time to dig deeper and assess gut health, nutrient status, and check hormone levels and for hidden infections.”

– Dr. Buddy Touchinsky DC, CFMP

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is a long-term, complicated illness that makes you very tired and doesn’t get better with rest. It often gets worse without warning after you do something. Some of the symptoms include severe sleep issues, persistent muscle or joint pain, and mental fog. The exact cause is still unknown, which shows how important it is to have a personalized, multi-faceted care plan.

I have had the pleasure of getting to know Buddy and the team at PEAK. This could be a very long winded review due to all of the great things I have to say, but I will try to sum it up. The team at PEAK medicine are reinventing the way you should look at your health program. They have a full spectrum approach to the way you manage your health and it is one of the best programs in the country. I will stand behind those words! If you are considering, or are even the slightest bit interested in, getting healthier or want to pursue various health/nutrition goals.... you HAVE TO go visit with PEAK medicine and see what they can do for you. You will not be disappointed! Keep up the good work guys!

Great place! I came here back in June upon the recommendation of Iron Mind Counseling as I was having very bad anxiety and health issues as well. They offer great comprehensive blood work and even pointed me towards a blood serum mycotoxin test as I knew I likely was having mold illness. From both blood works I got the confirmation that I really needed to jump on this! And I likely would have kept pushing it off and dealing with it with the doctors I had been seeing in the past who weren’t offering the right tests or treatments. I’m glad that by going here I have come to find that there is an affordable way to treat this and I don’t have to keep jumping through hoops! Highly recommend!

I LOVE PEAK and all the staff. I have some challenges with anxiety and they are all so accommodating with me. They respond in a timely manner, I never feel rushed thru appointments and when I bring up a concern no matter how far fetched it might seem, they talk me thru why it could or couldn't be that issue. Highly recommend

While we do have our "regular" doctor/PCP with a large local health system, we have been delighted with PEAK and its staff and programs. They have helped us learn more about consequences of personal choices with nutrition, have a great medical staff and nutrition health coaches. If you are looking for supplemental medical help or even full time, this is the place to go. Along with Healthy Habits Organic store we have both attained better habits, better health outcomes and better understanding of how to properly monitor our health. Check them out.

I cannot say enough about Peak Integrative.This is the future of healthcare.Instead of just telling you what is wrong they actually look into what could be your issue and how to treat it instead of promoting some new off the wall pharmaceutical products to sell you in hopes you feel better. All starts with you and your body and the mindset.. First you do a discussion of your health and concerns. Bloodwork testing in all areas to see where to start and finding what could be wrong with you. Available chat sessions and very quick to respond to any issues you may have. Definitely try Peak . Maybe the game changer you need to a healthier and happy lifestyle.

Can't say enough about the incredible experience that I had today at Peak Integrative Medicine. The staff was extremely friendly and professional. Buddy Touchinsky was wonderful, he spent an ample amount of time going over options and making several suggestions to help my son. This practice deserves 10 stars!!! I highly recommend this practice.

Everyone here is completely dedicated with their knowledge and personal, friendly commitment to helping every client achieve the best health possible. This is the best step I have on my wellness journey!!

Peak Integrative Medicine is by far the best practice in the area. The facilities are beautiful and comfortable. I love not being rushed through appointments to meet a quota. I feel heard and understood. My other doctors have made me feel like my issues are in my head. Well, my in depth blood work panel says otherwise. Christin was very thorough during my intake appointment and made sure all of my concerns were addressed. Buddy has been great for Chiropractic care. The practice offers a large variety of treatment options worth checking out. Invest in your health before it’s too late!

Activity Management

Managing activity with careful pacing helps people avoid the debilitating “boom and bust” cycles of chronic fatigue instead of attempting to just push through it. Low-impact movement techniques, such as restorative yoga, stretching, or short walks, can boost energy levels and mitochondrial function without causing post-exertional malaise (PEM).

The Mitochondria

Mitochondrial dysfunction may be responsible for chronic fatigue. Nutrients and supplements like CoQ10, NAD/NADH, B-complex vitamins, and L-carnitine may help their mitochondria make more energy. To make them work better, these nutrients are sometimes given through an IV.

Nutrition

Eating a lot of whole foods, omega-3s, antioxidants, and fiber support your immune system and energy as opposed to foods that cause inflammation is one way to ward away chronic fatigue. Taking the right amounts of vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, and probiotics can improve your gut health and make you stronger overall.

Lifestyle Influences

Long-term stress, lack of good sleep, and hormonal imbalances can all make fatigue worse. Integrative approaches often include sleep hygiene, mind-body therapies that help reduce stress such as deep breathing, and adaptogenic techniques to bring the nervous system back into balance.

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic adjustments can help put the spine back in its proper place, which may help with inflammation and nerve interference. If the nervous system works better, the body may be able to control its own energy. Chiropractors can also help people who are tired by giving them tips on how to eat, sit, relieve stress, and sleep better.

Whether you’re looking to manage chronic fatigue, reclaim cognitive clarity, or rebuild daily energy, our curated, patient-centered care plan is designed for sustainable improvement.
