Fatigue After 40: How Women Can Boost Their Energy Levels
Many women over 40 experience a dip in their energy levels due to hormonal changes, stress, and lifestyle factors. But the good news is that there are simple steps you can take to boost your energy and feel more vibrant throughout the day.
Here are some practical tips to help you get started:
Prioritize Quality Sleep
Aim for 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night. To improve sleep quality, create a relaxing bedtime routine, keep your bedroom cool and dark, and avoid screens at least an hour before bed. If you are struggling with insomnia or staying asleep, there may be an underlying medical reason that we can investigate.
Eat Balanced Meals
Fuel your body with nutrient-dense foods. Avoid sugary snacks and processed foods that can lead to energy crashes. Have trouble maintaining a healthy diet? You’re not alone! Our team includes health coaches, an obesity expert, and nutritionists to support you on your wellness journey.
Stay Hydrated

Exercise Regularly
Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week. Activities like walking, yoga, and swimming are excellent options that can also reduce stress and improve mood. This is a non-negotiable, it is essential to make time in your schedule for activity.
