Feeling constantly low on energy? You're not alone.
Energy - it’s something we all expect to just be there. But if you're reaching for caffeine before you’ve even opened your eyes, grabbing chocolate to power through the afternoon, or finishing the day feeling flat and wired, your body’s trying to tell you something.
Especially in perimenopause, it’s common to feel tired, foggy, and just not quite yourself. And while quick fixes like sugar or coffee might help in the moment, they rarely fix the root cause.
So, why am I always tired?
It’s a question so many women ask - especially in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. And the truth? There’s rarely a single cause. From a naturopathic lens, energy loss is often a combination of physical, hormonal, and lifestyle factors.
Some of the most common energy-drainers include:
- Nutrient deficiencies - Like B vitamins, magnesium, iron, iodine and zinc
- Blood sugar imbalances - Spikes and crashes from sugar, caffeine, or skipping meals
- Chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation - Your body stays stuck in “go mode”
- Thyroid dysfunction - Subtle or undiagnosed issues can leave you feeling sluggish
- Hormonal shifts - Especially during perimenopause, PMS or post-pill
- Poor sleep quality - You're in bed, but not deeply resting
- Low-grade inflammation or gut issues - Which block nutrient absorption
- Poor food choices - Not enough real, nourishing fuel for your cells
Together, these can quietly drain your energy and impact your mood, sleep, focus, and resilience - even if you're “doing all the right things.”
Let’s talk about food first
When your energy dips, your body naturally craves a quick boost - sugar, caffeine, salty snacks. And that’s totally normal.
The problem? These quick fixes often spike your blood sugar, then crash it again - leaving you more depleted than before. It becomes a loop of fatigue → snack → short burst → crash → repeat.
Over time, that cycle depletes your most important energy nutrients: B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, and iron. And the more stress you’re under, the faster your body burns through them.
And then there’s stress…
Stress affects you at a cellular level. It hits your mitochondria (your energy engines), your adrenal function, your thyroid, and your nervous system.
If your stress is ongoing, your body starts running on empty - sleep doesn’t restore you, moods become harder to manage, and even small things feel like a lot.
This kind of stress-induced fatigue is more common than you think - and no, you’re not imagining it.
Here’s where it gets interesting…
Your body actually has everything it needs to create vibrant, sustainable energy - it just needs the right support.
Key nutrients like CoQ10, B vitamins, iodine, and magnesium help your cells convert food into fuel. And plant-based adaptogens like Rhodiola, Bacopa, Green Tea Extract, and Lemon Balm help regulate mood, focus, and stress.
Piperine (black pepper extract) enhances absorption - so you get more from every dose.
Your thyroid: the tiny gland with a big job
This little butterfly-shaped gland at the base of your neck plays a major role in energy, metabolism, and hormone balance. In women, it’s particularly sensitive to stress, under-eating, and nutrient gaps - especially in iodine, zinc, and magnesium.
When your thyroid is sluggish, you feel it - physically and mentally. The right nutrients can help nourish and support its function, gently and naturally.
The sugar rollercoaster - and why it matters
Sugar can absolutely give you a boost - but the crash that follows can leave you more exhausted, foggy, anxious, and it just keeps you craving more. It’s a hormonal seesaw, and your energy is caught in the middle.
Insulin plays a big role here. When it’s constantly triggered by sugar spikes, your body starts to struggle with regulation. Over time, that leads to more crashes, mood swings, fatigue, and cravings.
The good news? Nutrients like magnesium, B vitamins, and lemon balm can help support insulin balance and bring your energy back to centre.
