Functional medicine practitioners aim to uncover the root causes of symptoms rather than simply masking them with medications. Chronic fatigue syndrome often remains poorly understood in conventional medicine, leaving patients feeling frustrated with vague diagnoses.

Recent discussions even suggest that prolonged mask-wearing may contribute to symptoms resembling long COVID, highlighting the complexity of these health challenges.
