Female, Over 40 and Fatigued all the Time? Read This!

Female, Over 40 and Fatigued all the Time? Read This!

If you're one of the millions of women over 40 who feel constantly tired, struggling to stay focused, and lacking energy...

...know this... you are not alone!?

But have you ever wondered what's causing this unexplained fatigue??

I mean, even if you eat well and cut out alcohol, it rarely makes a difference.

This is the area that I love to work with the most!?

Why? Not because it's complex (which it is) but because of my own story of exhaustion and fatigue that stopped me from functioning in normal life.?

This experience led me to the mission to help as many women as possible to, first of all, understand the underlying cause of their fatigue (you can't fix it if you don't know what's causing it!) and then to show them how to take back control of their energy levels and feel revitalised and like themselves again.

Is it quick? Sometimes. And sometimes not. That all depends on the root cause!?

Is it worth it? Abso-bloody-lutely! You can't underestimate the impact low energy and fatigue have on the rest of your life, your relationships, your work, your kids, and your happiness...?

But let's just be clear on something. Fatigue is not just a symptom; it's a complex condition with a VARIETY of root causes.?

Here are some common culprits that might be sapping your energy:

Sleep Deprivation:?

Poor sleep quality or insufficient sleep can leave you feeling groggy and fatigued throughout the day. Our modern lifestyles, packed with responsibilities and distractions, often lead to sleep deprivation, which can significantly impact energy levels.

So what's the solution? Find out why you can't sleep! And yes, I know, it's not always straightforward, but you have to get to the root cause and start from there.?

Mineral/Nutritional Deficiencies and Imbalances:?

EVERYONE has an element of this, no one has perfect nutrient levels and balance. Whether it is a lack of vitamins such as B Vitamins, especially B6 and B12, an inability to utilise iron or an issue with your sodium/potassium levels and ratios, you cannot, and I repeat CANNOT improve your energy production if you don't look into this area properly.?

Does it mean just take a multivitamin, or neck some B12? Well, unfortunately, NO. You have to know what you are personally lacking, and understand why that is (it's not often just a lack of it in your diet), and work from there.?

Stress and Anxiety:?

Mental/emotional and physical stress can all take a toll on your body, leading to fatigue. Chronic stress and anxiety disrupt your body's natural energy balance and can leave you feeling drained.?

This is why I love mineral testing because it will highlight adrenal health, and what type of adrenal dysfunction you have (ie. the stage of stress you have been out for the past 2 to 3 months). The approach to correct this is different, dependent on this alone.?

Thyroid?System?issues:

Notice I underline the word system because your thyroid isn't just the gland that produces thyroid hormone. There's MUCH more to it than that. And you would be very surprised to understand just how many women over 40 have an issue with this system, meaning slowed metabolism and thus low energy.?

This is where I often help women to finally realise why they are tired, can't lose weight, and struggle with other symptoms, despite being told by their GP that their thyroid is 'normal!' Let's just say, we have a thyroid epidemic and it is constantly being missed!?

If you're feeling drained, and fatigue is holding you back from living your best life, you HAVE TO get to the root cause and then you can take charge of your energy levels and feel revitalised again!?

If that's you, make sure to get your name down for my next free?MasterClass?on Tuesday 25th April at 7.30 pm (on Zoom).?

Details of the masterclass, and how to save your place, can be found?HERE.?
