The 3pm energy crash doesn’t have to be part of your day, we can put a few simple things in place to keep the energy, mind and mood more consistent.
We might be feeling the 3pm slump more during peri/menopause because of the impact fluctuating hormones have on cortisol and blood sugar balance.
My top tips for keeping the 3pm crash at bay
- protein for breakfast
- don’t skip meals
- reduce the caffeine especially after lunch
- no coffee (or tea) before food
- have a small protein snack at 3pm
- get moving at 3pm, go for a walk or have a dance around
