How Cody, My AI Doctor, Unraveled the Mystery of My Fatigue

Hi, I'm Sarah — 37, full-time mom, part-time graphic designer, and somehow always tired. I know, life is busy, but this wasn't the usual "I-need-an-extra-coffee" kind of tired. This was different. No matter how much I slept, I woke up exhausted. My energy felt like it had an expiration date of 10 a.m. every day.
At first, I chalked it up to stress. Juggling kids, work, and everything in between takes a toll, right? But when I started skipping weekend outings just to "catch up on rest," I knew something was off. This wasn't normal tiredness — this was fatigue.
I tried to push through. More coffee. More vitamins. Early bedtime. Nothing worked. I found myself googling things like "why am I always tired" at 2 a.m., which ironically made me even more tired. I needed answers. But booking a doctor's appointment, waiting for weeks, and explaining it all felt like a hassle I didn't have the energy for (oh, the irony).
That's when I remembered Cody, an AI Doctor a friend had mentioned. She said it was like having a best friend who also happens to be a doctor. I figured, why not? If it could save me from one more late-night Google rabbit hole, it was worth a shot.
I opened Cody on my phone, and it felt like Cody knew exactly what I needed. No stress, no awkward forms. Just simple, thoughtful questions — like talking to someone who actually cared about my health.
"What's bothering you?" "Constant fatigue. Low energy no matter how much I sleep."
"How long has this been going on?" "About a month."
"Any other symptoms?" "Not really, but I feel foggy sometimes."
A few more quick questions about sleep, stress, and my daily habits, and then — boom — Cody hit me with this:
Top 3 Possible Causes of My Fatigue
1️⃣ Iron Deficiency (Anemia) — (50% probability) This one clicked for me. Cody explained that anemia happens when your body doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen to your tissues. The result? Fatigue, weakness, and that familiar "foggy brain" feeling. It can happen if you're not getting enough iron in your diet or if your body isn't absorbing it properly. Cody even threw in tips about foods that boost iron naturally — like spinach and lentils.
2️⃣ Sleep Apnea — (30% probability) This one caught me off guard. Cody explained that sleep apnea can cause multiple sleep disruptions through the night — sometimes without you even realizing it. You wake up feeling like you never really slept. I'd never considered this before, but now I wondered if my "restful" sleep was anything but.
3️⃣ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) — (20% probability) This was one I'd heard of but never thought I'd see pop up. Cody made it clear that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome isn't just "tired all the time" — it's more complex. It's persistent, unexplained exhaustion that doesn't improve with rest. Cody didn't make me panic, though. It was more like, "Hey, this is rare, but it's worth knowing."
At first, I wasn't sure what to think. But Cody didn't just leave me hanging. Cody laid out a step-by-step plan, breaking down what I could do next.
Here's What Cody Suggested:
Talk to a Doctor: If fatigue lasts for more than two weeks, it's time to see a doctor. Cody even suggested I get a blood test to check for iron levels and rule out anemia.
Sleep Check: Cody flagged the possibility of sleep apnea and suggested I track my sleep quality. It was like having a doctor-friend who's always two steps ahead.
Energy-Boosting Tips: It wasn't all "go see a doctor." Cody gave me practical advice like keeping a consistent sleep schedule, avoiding caffeine in the afternoon, and eating iron-rich foods like spinach and beans.
Here's the kicker: I felt seen. It wasn't just some generic "you might be tired because you're busy" advice. It was personalized. Cody didn't diagnose me, but Cody gave me a clear plan, something I hadn't had in weeks.
With Cody's nudge, I booked a doctor's appointment. Armed with the info from Cody, I went in saying, "I think I might be low on iron, but I also want to check for sleep apnea just in case." My doctor was impressed. Instead of starting from scratch, we had a plan.
A simple blood test confirmed it — iron deficiency anemia. The solution? Iron supplements, dietary changes, and a little patience. Cody had been right.
Fast forward a few weeks, and I'm feeling like me again. No more 10 a.m. energy crashes. No more skipping out on weekend outings. I have my afternoons back.
If you're tired of being tired, maybe it's time to stop guessing. Try Cody. It's like having a best friend who's also a doctor — only this friend is available 24/7 and always knows the right questions to ask.
