Micronutrient Deficiencies In Beaumont Integrative Medicine Fatigue Patients, Jessica Dorschner, Maureen Anderson May 2023

Micronutrient Deficiencies In Beaumont Integrative Medicine Fatigue Patients, Jessica Dorschner, Maureen Anderson

Posters

Fatigue is a common patient concern at primary care visits and can persist after addressing etiologies such as anemia, infection, malignancy, depression and cardiopulmonary disorders. Micronutrient deficiencies have also been investigated in fatigue patients, particularly individual vitamins such as C, D, B12, E and the mineral zinc. Fewer studies have investigated broad panels of micronutrients in fatigue patients. The Beaumont Integrative Medicine Clinic evaluates many patients with fatigue and assesses micronutrient levels using SpectraCell testing which measures 31 vitamin, mineral and metabolite levels concurrently.

Leaves that involve physical or mental health crises are certainly very difficult for the resident on leave but can significantly impact co-residents and program faculty as well. Our …
