I see nothing that jumps out at me as far as causing your symptoms. I wouldn't call myself an expert authority on bloodwork but if I were charged with finding the root cause of your symptoms I would look at the diet first and other lifestyle decisions.

Some of your values are on the low end yes, but none are alarmingly low. It could be possible that a combination of these slightly low values are causing your lethargy but then again, there are hundreds of causes of lethargy out there.

My diet is about as good as it can be. I eat fairly clean. The only fast food I eat is pitas and burritos, made with real chicken breast or cuts of beef.

A lot of it is probably brain chemistry, but at work, if I don't have lots of caffeine in me, I am slow. Mainly because my body feels like it's 300 lbs.

Pull an iron panel.

Pull an iron panel.

Low iron can lead to this? A recent blood test showed I had low iron. Will iron supplements do the trick, or should I eat more foods that have it naturally occurring?

Yes they can. Anemia can = fatigue very easily.
