More Energy, Less Exhaustion

Energy in Menopause: What’s Draining It — and How to Get It Back

In this episode, Angela breaks down why energy can decrease during the menopause transition and what you can do about it.

From hormonal shifts that affect your energy systems to everyday habits and hidden drains most women miss, she shares simple steps to rebuild steady energy without relying on things like caffeine.

She covers:

• What “energy” really means (and how your body produces it)
• Why energy drops in menopause: hormones, stress load, sleep disruption, nutrition gaps, alcohol, iron deficiency, toxin exposure, overcommitting your time
• What to check if you’re always tired: iron levels, sleep routine, daily stressors, diet quality, hydration, environmental chemicals
• Boundaries = energy: how saying no protects your reserves
• Move to make energy: why any movement helps (especially when you don’t feel like it)
• Build more energy (no coffee required): where you can start
• Eye-opening statistic: though we may be living long now, 70% of people over 60 are in poor health and will stay in poor health for the rest of their life — be the 30% who buck the trend
