How Immune Dysfunction Drains Your Energy

Are you living with persistent symptoms of fatigue but have been told that your tests are “normal”?

Well, it could be a less talked-about driver of fatigue: immune system dysregulation.

Complex fatigue conditions, including ME/CFS and post-viral fatigue, are often linked to disrupted immune communication.

When the immune system stays switched on unnecessarily, it becomes extremely energy-expensive—leaving less energy available for everyday life.

In this video, we explain:

  • How immune dysfunction can fuel ongoing fatigue
  • Why immune activation doesn’t always show up on standard tests
  • What micro-immunotherapy (MIT) is and how it supports immune balance
  • Why regulating immune activity can improve energy allocation

Want more fatigue-specific tests done?

At The Optimum Health Clinic, our investigations go way beyond what a regular GP can offer—ordering tests that are designed to show us what's really behind your fatigue symptoms.
