Boost Your Energy Levels During and After Menopause

If you are going through menopause or are post-menopausal, you may feel chronically tired. You are not alone. Many women experience menopause crashing fatigue as their bodies change. There are many reasons why you feel crashing fatigue during perimenopause — fortunately there are several solutions that boost energy levels and enhance vitality.

Why am I so Tired All of the Time?

There are many reasons you may be experiencing perimenopause and exhaustion:

  • Your body is changing; that takes energy.
  • You may be kept up at night due to hot flashes. If you can’t get a good night’s sleep, you will be tired.
  • Women in their forties, fifties, and sixties cope with a vast array of stressors. You may be experiencing increased stress at your job as you move to the top of your career. In these financially difficult times, worries about job security or finding a new job may add to your worries.
  • Perhaps you are worried that you haven’t saved enough money for retirement. Are you paying for your kid’s college education?
  • Have your children left home? Are you adapting to having an empty nest or have children who moved out come back home to live?
  • Women are often caregivers for parents. Sometimes we must care for our grandchildren as well. Being a caregiver is exhausting. We simply do not have the energy that we had at age thirty.
  • You may be concerned about intimate relationships. Are you happy in your relationship? Have you broken off a long term relationship?  Have you lost a partner due to illness? Do you still believe that you are a desirable woman? Are you alone and trying to figure out how to being dating?

    • Are you a young woman who is going through menopause early as a result of a health issue? Have you had your ovaries removed? Did you go through chemotherapy which put your body into early menopause? Medically induced menopause is a shock to the body and emotions. Are you scared for the future?
    • Could you be depressed? Have you developed palpitations or anxiety with menopause?  Are you concerned about the physical impacts that menopause has on your heart and bones? Do you have to write things down that you used to remember? All of these concerns sap your energy.
    • Do you eat well? Have you put on a few extra pounds?  Are you getting enough exercise? Is taking care of you a priority? Do you regularly take time to just be? What are you doing for fun? Self-care is even more important than caring for others. If you don’t’ take care of you, you won’t have the strength or stamina to look out for others.
