Fatigue & Energy Assessment for Functional Medicine Practitioners
A structured, evidence-informed screening tool that evaluates chronic fatigue through the lens of functional medicine. Helps practitioners identify HPA axis dysregulation, mitochondrial depletion, and nutrient-deficiency-driven fatigue — in about 3 minutes, before the first appointment. Patients receive an instant, personalized health archetype report upon completion.
What This Assessment Covers
Energy Pattern Profiling
Patients describe their daily energy patterns — morning fatigue, post-meal crashes, exercise intolerance, and afternoon slumps. The assessment maps these to HPA axis, mitochondrial, and nutrient-deficiency patterns.
Stress-Adrenal Evaluation
Correlates fatigue with stress history, sleep quality, caffeine dependence, and life load to identify HPA axis dysregulation patterns — distinguishing between wired-tired, flatline, and mixed adrenal presentations.
Nutrient & Metabolic Screening
Captures dietary patterns, meal timing, cravings, blood sugar symptoms, and potential micronutrient gaps (iron, B12, magnesium, CoQ10) that commonly contribute to persistent fatigue.
Pre-Appointment Screening
Send the assessment link in booking confirmations or reminder emails. Patients complete it before they arrive, so you walk into the appointment with a structured energy profile — not a vague complaint of "I'm tired."
Instant AI-Generated Report
Patients receive a personalized health archetype report immediately after completing the assessment. The report explains their results in plain language, builds trust, and primes them for your consultation.
Sample Questions
Each question is designed to be patient-friendly while gathering clinically useful data. Here are three examples from the fatigue assessment:
When do you feel most fatigued?
- · Waking up tired, even after a full night's sleep
- · Mid-afternoon crash, especially after lunch
- · After minimal exertion or exercise
- · Constant — fatigue never really lifts
- · Unpredictable — some days fine, others completely drained
How would you describe your stress levels over the past 6 months?
High — I feel constantly overwhelmed · Moderate with periodic spikes · Low — generally manageable · I don't feel stressed but I'm exhausted
What happens to your energy after meals?
I crash hard — especially after carbs · Slight dip, then recover · No noticeable change · I feel better after eating
How It Works
Each fatigue assessment follows a structured three-step flow that turns vague energy complaints into distinct clinical patterns. It is designed to capture the right data for HPA axis and mitochondrial archetype mapping without overwhelming the patient.
Patient Completes
The patient answers 8–12 questions about their energy patterns, stress history, sleep quality, and diet. Takes about 3 minutes on any device.
Archetype Is Generated
The assessment maps responses to three evidence-informed fatigue archetypes: HPA Axis Dysregulation, Mitochondrial Depletion, or Nutrient-Deficiency-Driven Fatigue.
Practitioner Reviews
Results are available in your Brevlix dashboard before the appointment. Use them to prioritize labs (cortisol, thyroid, iron panel) and structure the treatment plan.
Clinical Use Cases
From solo functional medicine practices to integrative health centers, practitioners deploy fatigue screening across a range of clinical workflows.
New Patient Intake
Send the assessment link alongside intake paperwork. By the time the patient arrives, you have energy pattern data, stress history, and a preliminary archetype — the first appointment starts with differential hypotheses, not open-ended history gathering.
Pre-Consultation Screening
For discovery calls or initial consultations, the assessment acts as a filter. Patients who complete it are pre-qualified and pre-educated about functional medicine approaches to fatigue, making the consultation more productive.
Treatment Progress Tracking
Re-administer the assessment at 6- or 12-week intervals. Track shifts in energy patterns, stress correlation, and archetype changes over time — quantifiable data for patient progress reports and treatment plan adjustments.
Group Program Enrollment
Use the assessment as an enrollment gateway for energy restoration group programs. Stratify participants by archetype — HPA Axis types need different protocols than Mitochondrial Depletion types.
Patient Intake Workflow
Adding fatigue screening to your intake flow is straightforward. Most practices have the assessment running in a single afternoon — here is the typical setup sequence:
Generate Your Assessment Link
From your Brevlix dashboard, choose the fatigue assessment and customize your branding, booking link, and widget appearance. Copy the unique assessment link or embed code — no coding or developer help required.
Add to Booking Flow
Paste the link into your booking confirmation email, intake form, or appointment reminder. Most EHRs and scheduling platforms (Acuity, Calendly, Practice Better) support adding custom links to automated emails.
Embed on Your Website
Copy the Brevlix embed script and paste it onto any page — your homepage, a dedicated "Work With Me" page, or a services listing. The assessment renders as an interactive widget that matches your branding.
Review Before the Appointment
Completed assessments appear in your Brevlix dashboard. Review the energy profile, archetype result, and root cause directions before the patient arrives. Walk into every appointment with a data-informed clinical picture.
How practices use this today: Functional medicine practitioners send the fatigue assessment link in Calendly confirmation emails, embed it on Squarespace intake pages, and include it in Practice Better onboarding sequences. Patients complete it at home, on their phone, before the appointment — so the first visit is about solutions, not history-taking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I edit the assessment questions?
The assessment questions are maintained by Brevlix and updated based on functional medicine research and practitioner feedback. You can choose from 12 pre-built health topics and customize your branding, booking link, and widget appearance to match your practice.
What does the patient see after completing the assessment?
Patients receive an instant, personalized health archetype report based on their responses. The report explains their results in accessible language, highlights relevant health patterns, and includes a clear next step — typically booking a consultation with your practice.
Can I embed this assessment on my website?
Yes. Brevlix provides an embed script — copy and paste onto any page. Works with Squarespace, WordPress, Wix, and custom sites. Practitioners often place it on their services page or include it in new patient welcome email sequences.
What causes chronic fatigue — and can it be identified through an assessment?
Chronic fatigue can stem from HPA axis dysfunction, mitochondrial impairment, nutrient deficiencies, chronic infections, or autoimmune processes. This assessment helps practitioners narrow the differential by mapping symptoms to functional patterns — it doesn't diagnose but provides a structured clinical starting point.
How do practitioners use fatigue assessments before appointments?
Practitioners send the assessment link with booking confirmations. By the time the patient arrives, the practitioner has a structured energy profile, stress history, and preliminary archetype — so the appointment starts with targeted questions instead of open-ended history-taking.
