SUPPLEMENTS
Nutrient deficiencies can cause exhaustion, fatigue and disrupt your sleep.
First thing you can do is get a blood test. Consider going to a functional medicine/naturepathic doctor. They can order the correct tests based on your reported symptoms. Also they know how to read the bloodwork results and MOST important, prescribe supplements and treatments that will actually help you heal your body instead of just treating symptoms.

Common deficiencies in the following nutrients have been linked to fatigue:
iron
riboflavin (vitamin B2)
niacin (vitamin B3)
pantothenic acid (vitamin B5)
pyridoxine (vitamin B6)
folate (vitamin B9)
vitamin B12
vitamin D
vitamin C
magnesium
Also important to supplement: take in electrolytes as many of us are dehydrated and deficient in potassium, sodium, magnesium and zinc
Here are brands/resourses I use (available on Amazon but got them originally from my functional medicine doctor.).
Perque, Now, Pure brands for specific needs based on bloodwork results
I get magnesium spray from Activation Products
Banyan Botanicals also great place to get products
It is important to detox the body
Mix up the way you take in nutritional supplements: sprays, powders, pills, liquid forms and creams helps with absorption rates.
AG1 - Athletic Greens - hands-down my favorite and EASIEST way to get 75 essential vitamins, minerals and pre/probiotic whole food source. I take this daily in the morning. Some take it up to 2x per day.
Perfect Amino - 8 essential amino acids (building blocks of life)
non-digestible so 100% available for body to use (without having to digest a dietary protein source)
no impact on insulin when taken alone in hot water or in black coffee (chocolate flavor) (so you can take them in your fasting window.)
You can take them in a fruit smoothie
Max. benefit: take them 30 minutes before or after you workout
The brand I like: Perfect Amino by BodyHealth
They also make an electrolyte/amimo combo - 2 in 1 benefits
Electrolytes - so important for boosting hydration and energy; helps with 4pm crashdowns and overall feeling wiped out
look for important ingredients: sodium, magnesium, potassium, trace mineral complex
BEST: go for sugar-free options (stevia sweetned)
I like LMNT - watermelon and citrus salt
Also again here the combo amino acid/electrolyte you can take in your fasting window from BodyHealth
