3. Brain Fog, Crashing Energy & That 3pm Slump
If your brain feels like it’s buffering by 10am...
If you need caffeine to survive the afternoon...
If you feel like you’re dragging through your day—but can’t fall asleep at night...
This episode is for you.
We’re talking about the real, biological reasons why your energy is tanking—especially if you're over 35—and why the “just push through it” approach isn’t working. From blood sugar swings to stress hormones to nutrient gaps, I’ll show you what’s actually going on in your body (in plain English)—and four simple shifts you can make right now to stabilize your energy, clear the brain fog, and feel like yourself again.
You don’t need more willpower.
You need more rhythm.
🎧 Tune in to learn:
• What’s really behind the brain fog and 3pm crash
• How your body responds to blood sugar swings (and why cortisol gets involved)
• The hormone connection most women miss
• 4 doable, strategic shifts to restore energy without tracking or burning out
Plus, I’ll share one of my favorite easy wins: how adding minerals over more coffee can help calm your nervous system and give your cells the support they need—especially in that mid-afternoon slump.
