Adrenal Fatigue in Midlife: What You Should Know

Adrenal Fatigue in Midlife: What You Should Know

While "adrenal fatigue" is not a formally recognized diagnosis, many women in midlife describe persistent tiredness that doesn’t respond to rest. Often, this exhaustion is linked to chronic stress, disrupted sleep, and imbalanced nutrition.


Here’s how to support your energy systems, naturally:


1. Eat more protein—especially in the morning
Start your day with 25–30 grams of quality protein. This supports stable blood sugar, hormone production, and energy regulation.


2. Prioritize healthy fats
Nuts, seeds, olive oil, avocado, and algae-based omega oils all support hormone synthesis and brain health. Fats are key to feeling full and focused.


3. Don't forget electrolytes and trace minerals
Adrenal glands need minerals to function. Sea salt (in moderation), leafy greens, and mineral-rich broths can help maintain balance and reduce cravings.


4. Keep a consistent eating rhythm
Skipping meals can spike cortisol and leave you feeling depleted. Eating every 3–4 hours helps maintain adrenal equilibrium and steady energy.


5. Cut back on sugar, alcohol, and caffeine
All three disrupt blood sugar and stress hormone balance. Swap in herbal teas, water with citrus, or adaptogenic lattes to reduce stimulation while still nurturing yourself.
