Regina, Saskatchewan functional medicine specialist, Tanya Zboril NP treats myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) using a comprehensive holistic approach providing Regina patients with the highest level of personalized care.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a debilitating condition that goes beyond tiredness—it affects brain function, immunity, and the body’s ability to recover from stress, leaving individuals feeling drained and unwell daily. Regina functional medicine specialist, Tanya Zboril NP treats chronic fatigue using a functional medicine approach that targets the root causes of symptoms for Regina Census Metropolitan Area patients experiencing persistent fatigue, brain fog, muscle pain, unrefreshing sleep, post-exertional malaise, and immune dysfunction. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), is a complex disorder characterized by profound, unexplained fatigue that is not relieved by rest. It affects multiple systems in the body, including the nervous, immune, and endocrine systems, leading to symptoms such as cognitive dysfunction (‘brain fog’), muscle pain, and post-exertional malaise.
Conventional medicine often focuses on symptom management without addressing the underlying causes. Functional medicine, however, takes a root-cause approach by analyzing mitochondrial dysfunction, gut health, chronic infections, hormonal imbalances, and environmental triggers that contribute to fatigue. By targeting these root causes through personalized nutrition, lifestyle changes, detoxification, and targeted supplementation, patients can experience true recovery and long-term relief. There is hope! Functional medicine seeks to identify the underlying causes of your fatigue and help you regain energy, mental clarity, and overall vitality through a personalized, science-backed approach.

Benefits of Tanya Zboril, NP of TBT Medical‘s Specialized Care
Restores Mitochondrial Function
Chronic fatigue is often linked to mitochondrial dysfunction, which impairs energy production at the cellular level. Functional medicine uses targeted nutrients and detoxification strategies to optimize mitochondrial health, leading to increased energy levels.
Balances the Immune System
Many individuals with CFS have underlying viral infections or autoimmune activity. Functional medicine identifies these imbalances through advanced testing and applies immune-modulating therapies to support long-term healing.
Improves Gut Health and Nutrient Absorption
A dysfunctional gut can lead to chronic inflammation and nutrient deficiencies that worsen fatigue. Functional medicine assesses the microbiome, food intolerances, and leaky gut, implementing dietary changes to restore digestive health.
Optimizes Hormonal Balance
Dysregulation of the adrenal, thyroid, and sex hormones is common in CFS. Functional medicine practitioners test and correct hormonal imbalances through natural therapies, stress reduction, and personalized supplementation.
Reduces Inflammation and Oxidative Stress
Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress can contribute to ongoing fatigue and muscle pain. Functional medicine uses anti-inflammatory diets, lifestyle changes, and antioxidants to address these issues at their source.
Personalized Lifestyle and Stress Management Strategies
Functional medicine tailors lifestyle interventions, including sleep optimization, gentle movement, and mind-body therapies, to help patients recover without exacerbating symptoms.
