Persistent Fatigue Despite Weight Loss and Normal Blood Results

Over the past weeks and months, I have been feeling very fatigued. I am currently 50 years old, and I have actually been experiencing this since around the age of 45. Around that time, I was also dealing with obesity: I weighed 122 kg at a height of 1.85 m.

In June of last year, I started taking Mounjaro, and since then I have lost a significant amount of weight. I also felt much fitter: I went walking regularly and did strength training. Nothing felt too demanding.

Unfortunately, since December of last year, I have been feeling very fatigued again. I now weigh 96 kg, but due to the fatigue, my level of physical activity has dropped significantly. The fatigue is present daily and has a clear impact on my motivation, energy, and physical performance.

My sleep is good, and according to my doctor, my blood tests are normal. My testosterone level is 17.10 nmol/L.

I take vitamin D and consume an average of 2000 to 2300 kcal per day.

What can I do?

What can I do to increase my energy levels? I find this very difficult both mentally and physically.
