Why Am I So Tired? Understanding Energy & Fatigue from Your Mid-30s Through Menopause
Read Time: 2 minutes
Constantly exhausted? You're not alone.
From your mid-30s onwards, fatigue isn’t just being tired—it’s persistent exhaustion, brain fog, and sluggishness that sleep alone won't fix. But why?
The Real Reason Fatigue Hits After 35
Hormones are shifting, and these fluctuations in oestrogen, progesterone, and cortisol impact your entire body. They cause:
- Sluggish metabolism, leaving you drained.
- Disrupted sleep, causing energy crashes throughout the day.
- Blood sugar swings, resulting in fatigue spikes.
- Collagen decline, impacting muscle recovery, joint health, and cognitive clarity.
These changes amplify during perimenopause and menopause, making everyday energy harder to maintain.
3 Simple Ways to Get Your Energy Back
1. Prioritise Quality Sleep
- Keep a consistent sleep schedule.
- Limit caffeine after midday.
- Add calming nutrients like magnesium and glycine (found naturally in collagen) to your evening routine.
2. Balance Your Blood Sugar
- Choose protein-rich meals with healthy fats.
- Minimise refined sugars and processed carbs.
- Drink water consistently to boost metabolism and digestion.
3. Restore Your Collagen & Nutrient Levels
Collagen is key for energy support, aiding muscle repair, gut health, and mental clarity. A decline can cause slow recovery, nutrient absorption issues, and persistent brain fog.
