Does it feel like your energy has gone on vacation—and forgotten to take you along? You’re not imagining it. Many women over 40 face relentless fatigue that makes even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming. I've been there, and it was such a struggle to get through the day at times.

Here’s the good news: feeling tired isn’t just “part of getting older.” It’s your body’s way of saying it needs support—and there are simple, effective ways to give it just that (Check out my previous post on You're Not Alone: Thriving Through Menopause).
So, let's check out what's behind your energy struggles.
What's Draining Your Energy?
If you’ve been feeling more sluggish than energized, you’re not alone. Women in their 40s and beyond face unique challenges that can zap their vitality, including:
Hormonal Changes
Perimenopause and menopause bring fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels, which can disrupt sleep, slow metabolism, and affect your mood.
Chronic Stress
Managing careers, family, and personal goals often feels like running a marathon—every single day. Over time, stress depletes your body’s energy reserves.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Your body might not be getting the nutrients it needs to produce energy efficiently. Missing out on essentials like B vitamins or magnesium can leave you feeling drained. Skipping meals when you are not supposed to can also leave your body lacking in fuel to make you power through the day.
Poor Sleep Habits
Hormonal changes and busy schedules can wreak havoc on sleep quality, leaving you tired before the day even starts. Poor sleep also negtively affects your cortisol (stress) level, hormones and your body's ability to repair and recover.
The first step to more energy is recognizing these challenges. The next? Taking action!
