You wake up tired, even after sleeping eight hours. You push through work, care for everyone else, and wonder — is this just getting older? Here’s the truth: chronic fatigue in midlife women isn’t laziness, it’s a system crash. Estrogen and progesterone once protected your mitochondria — your body’s energy factories. As they drop, inflammation rises, thyroid slows, and your energy drains like a leaking faucet. Start small: add iron-rich foods (spinach, lentils), vitamin B12, and strength-based movement. Ask for a thyroid and ferritin test — not just “routine bloodwork.” You’re not weak. You’re running on an empty tank society never told you to refill. #Health #Energy #WomenWellness
