Imagine waking up with actual energy.
Not dragging yourself through the day. 🔥
What if you woke up tomorrow with actual energy? Not the dragging yourself out of bed, running on empty, counting down to bedtime kind of day. Actual energy. Feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world.
That’s what I want for you. And here’s what’s actually standing in the way of it.
It’s not just the sleep. Yes perimenopause affects sleep and there’s only so much we can control there (but thats for another post!). But there’s something else deeper than that and it’s draining you just as much.
Your brain never switches off. More responsibilities than ever before. Kids, elderly parents, a household to run, work…. I mean the list goes on. So much mental load.
And then diet culture piled on top of all of it, constantly thinking about food, monitoring your body, comparing yourself to every woman you walk past. That is an enormous amount of brain capacity being used up before you’ve even had your morning coffee.
I know I have been there, my head felt like it was spinning at times, worried about how many calories I was eating, what I should or shouldn’t eat, if I had ruined it because I caved in and had a chocolate bar. Then the body monitoring on top of that.
Constantly checking my body, constantly comparing, catching a glimpse of myself and spiralling.
That takes up way more energy than we realise.
Research shows we make hundreds of food related decisions every single day. When that much mental energy is going to food noise and body monitoring there is nothing left for the things that actually matter. Your relationships. Your work. Being present in your own life.
We can’t eliminate perimenopause. But we can reduce diet culture’s grip on your headspace. And when food stops taking up every waking moment of your thoughts, you get that energy back. When you stop monitoring and comparing, your nervous system finally gets to rest.
That’s where the energy comes from. Not a better supplement. Not another sleep hack. Freedom from the mental load diet culture has been creating for years.
