42. Why Your Energy Crashes at 3PM
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
That mid-afternoon energy dip is something I hear from women all the time.
You’re moving through your day…
and then around 3PM, your energy drops, your focus fades, and you start thinking about coffee or something sweet just to get through.
In this episode, we continue the series “What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You” and look at what may be happening beneath the surface.
Because this is a signal.
We walk through four common drivers of that afternoon crash:
• Blood sugar instability from earlier in the day
• Mineral depletion impacting hydration and energy
• Circadian rhythm and lack of morning light exposure
• Meal timing and not getting enough support earlier in the day
When you understand what your body is responding to, you can begin making small shifts that support steadier energy.
