Fatigue, Brain Fog and Hormone Imbalance: Why You Feel Drained – and How to Fix It

Have you ever caught yourself saying: “I just don’t feel like myself anymore”?

You’re not alone. Every week I speak to women who tell me they’re exhausted no matter how much they sleep, struggling to focus at work, snapping at their loved ones, or just feel like they’re running on empty.

These symptoms, fatigue, brain fog, stress, and feeling emotionally flat, are incredibly common. But just because they’re common doesn’t mean they’re normal or that you have to put up with them.

Here’s why you might feel this way, and what you can do to reset your body and mind.

Why Do So Many Women Feel This Way?

Life today is full-on. Between work, family, and constant demands on your time, it’s no wonder many women feel worn out.

But often there are also underlying health issues adding fuel to the fire. These can include:

  • Hormonal changes, including perimenopause or thyroid problems
  • Low iron, vitamin D, or B12 levels
  • Blood sugar imbalances
  • Chronic stress affecting cortisol and sleep

When your body is out of balance, it can leave you feeling drained and foggy – physically and mentally.

Why Energy and Clarity Matter

We tend to put everyone else first. But when you’re running on empty, it’s impossible to show up fully for yourself, your family, or your work.

Imagine instead:
✅ Waking up with steady energy that lasts all day
✅ Feeling calm, clear, and able to focus
✅ Having the resilience to handle life’s challenges without burning out

This is the goal of our Strong Body, Strong Mind approach – to help you reset your energy and regain your spark.

How to Start Your Reset

Here are some practical steps you can take now:

1. Check Your Hormones and Nutrients

Fatigue and brain fog are often linked to low oestrogen, thyroid issues, low iron, or vitamin deficiencies. A simple blood test can identify these imbalances so we can treat the root cause.

2. Prioritise Restorative Sleep

Sleep is when your body repairs and resets. Small changes like sticking to a bedtime routine, limiting screens, and using a magnesium supplement can make a big difference.

3. Balance Your Blood Sugar

Eating balanced meals with protein and healthy fats, and cutting down on refined carbs, can stop the afternoon energy crashes.

4. Move Your Body

Even gentle movement, like yoga or walking, helps lower stress hormones and improve mental clarity.

5. Get Personalised Support

If you’ve tried all the above and still feel stuck, don’t wait to get help. The sooner we identify what’s holding you back, the sooner you can feel like yourself again.

6. Supplements
