Many patients live with constant fatigue or disrupted sleep and are told their labs look “normal.” Yet they wake up unrefreshed, struggle through the day, and lie awake at night staring at the ceiling. Sleep medications and caffeine may provide temporary relief, but they don’t explain why the body isn’t recovering properly.
Board-certified physician Dr. David M. Creech helps patients in Wilmington who are dealing with low energy and poor sleep. His functional medicine approach at Delaware Functional Medicine and Longevity identifies hidden imbalances and restores the body’s ability to recharge.
Why Energy and Sleep Break Down
Fatigue and sleep issues are rarely caused by a single factor. Common contributors include:
- Hormonal imbalances involving thyroid, cortisol, estrogen, or testosterone
- Nutrient deficiencies such as iron, vitamin D, or B vitamins
- Blood sugar instability that creates energy crashes
- Chronic stress and high cortisol levels
- Environmental toxins, mold, or heavy metals
- Sleep apnea or other undiagnosed sleep disorders
By investigating all of these factors, functional medicine provides answers where standard care often stops.
The Difference Balanced Energy Can Make
When the underlying issues behind fatigue and poor sleep are corrected, patients often experience:
- More consistent daily energy without relying on stimulants
- Deeper, restorative sleep with fewer interruptions
- Improved mood, focus, and productivity
- Less reliance on naps, caffeine, or sleep aids
- Stronger immune resilience and recovery after illness
- A greater sense of vitality and well-being
Restoring natural energy and sleep allows patients to feel like themselves again.
