Why You’re Tired All the Time (And What to Do About It)

A woman sitting on a chair with her head in her hand, appearing tired or overwhelmed.

If you find yourself constantly wondering,  “Why am I so tired all the time?” —you’re not alone. For many women over 40, exhaustion becomes a constant companion. And while a busy schedule or a poor night’s sleep might seem like obvious culprits, the story goes a little deeper.

We don’t believe in brushing off fatigue as "just part of getting older." Instead, we see it as a signal. Your body is trying to tell you something—and the good news is, you can do something about it.

Hormonal Havoc 

As we move through perimenopause and into menopause, the hormonal symphony starts to sound more like a noisy rehearsal. Oestrogen and progesterone, the hormones responsible for energy, sleep quality, and mood, begin to fluctuate—and not always gracefully.

Low progesterone can make it harder to fall and stay asleep, while dropping oestrogen can leave you feeling foggy, flat, and unmotivated. These hormonal shifts aren’t just annoying—they’re exhausting.

Adrenal Overload and Stress 

Your adrenal glands produce cortisol, your body’s primary stress hormone. When life is a juggling act of work, parenting, caregiving, and self-care (if that’s even still on the list), your adrenals go into overdrive. Over time, this can lead to adrenal fatigue: a state where you feel wired at night, sluggish in the morning, and depleted by mid-afternoon.

Blood Sugar Rollercoasters 

Sugar highs and crashes aren’t just for kids. In perimenopause, shifting insulin sensitivity can lead to dramatic blood sugar swings. When you start your day with coffee and toast, crash before lunch, and rely on chocolate or carbs to power through the afternoon, you’re in a vicious cycle. These spikes and crashes wreak havoc on your energy.

Thyroid Slowdown 

Many women develop thyroid issues in their 40s and 50s—especially hypothyroidism, which can sneak up with symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, hair thinning, and sensitivity to cold. A simple blood test can reveal if your thyroid needs support.

Nutrient Gaps 

Even with a healthy diet, your body’s ability to absorb and utilise nutrients decreases with age. Low levels of iron, B12, magnesium, and vitamin D are common causes of chronic fatigue in women over 40.

How to Reclaim Your Energy 

  • Balance your meals with protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Start your day with real food—not just caffeine.
  • Prioritise rest by creating a consistent bedtime, limiting screens before bed, and supplementing with magnesium.
  • Soothe your stress with micro-moments of calm: breathwork, a 10-minute walk, journaling, or meditation.
  • Support your adrenals with adaptogens like rhodiola and ashwagandha—clinically backed for midlife energy.
  • Get tested for thyroid, iron, and vitamin D if fatigue persists.
