About this episode
Dr Amir Khan and Cherry Healey discuss the nuances of tiredness and exhaustion, exploring when it may indicate a serious health issue.
Dr Amir Khan and Cherry Healey tackle one of the UK's most common health complaints... exhaustion! Not everyday tiredness, but the kind that even a good night's sleep simply doesn't fix. They cover the science of sleep cycles and why brain fog is a symptom rather than a condition. Dr Amir also separates the evidence from the noise on electrolyte supplements and the salt water trend, and explains exactly when persistent fatigue becomes a red flag worth taking seriously. 💬 Got a question for Chat GP?
