The Super Healthy Human Podcast with Dr. Rodger Murphree

The Root of Fatigue: How Functional Medicine Restores Energy and Reverses Fibromyalgia


Listen Later

In this conversation, Dr. Rodger Murphree—functional medicine practitioner, author, and telemedicine pioneer—dives deep into one of the most misunderstood conditions in modern healthcare: chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia.

After 34 years in practice and more than two decades helping thousands of patients recover naturally, Dr. Murphree explains how exhaustion, pain, and brain fog are not isolated problems—they’re signals from a body in distress.

He breaks down the root causes of fatigue, including poor sleep, adrenal dysfunction, thyroid imbalance, and mitochondrial depletion, and reveals why conventional medicine often misses the mark by focusing on symptom management rather than restoration.

Through his experience in functional medicine, he outlines practical steps to restore energy, improve sleep, and reverse chronic fatigue, from magnesium and serotonin support to balancing hormones and reducing inflammation.

You’ll also learn how chronic stress depletes essential nutrients, how poor diet fuels inflammation, and how targeted natural therapies can reset your body’s healing rhythm.
