Burnout and hormone fatigue are not the same thing.
Persistent fatigue is not laziness, and it is not something I want people to normalize. In my practice at The Hormone Center, when you are always tired, we think about thyroid function, blood sugar swings, sleep quality, stress physiology, iron status, s*x hormones, inflammation, and sometimes sleep apnea. We want patients to understand that symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, weight changes, brain fog, sleep disruption, irregular cycles, low libido, or mood shifts are not random. They are often clues. If rest is not restoring you, it may be time to look deeper than caffeine and coping.
