Fatigue

If you’re constantly exhausted despite rest, it may not be your schedule—it could be your hormones. Discover how hormone imbalance and adrenal fatigue may be affecting your energy, sleep, and overall wellness.

When Fatigue Becomes More Than Just Tiredness

It’s normal to feel tired after a full day of work, intense exercise, or long hours cleaning the house. But difficulty getting out of bed, feeling as if you haven’t slept, and needing a caffeine boost to get through the end of the day is not normal.

Understanding the Role of Hormones in Energy and Sleep

Many women assume that exhaustion is simply a part of getting older, and so, little can be done to change their condition. However, your body has a built-in restoration mechanism in the form of hormones that replenish energy, repair tissue, and regulate organ function while you sleep.

The Impact of Menopause on Hormonal Health

How Estrogen, Testosterone, and Other Hormones Shift With Age

When symptoms of lethargy, sleeplessness, and lack of motivation surface with no underlying medical condition, it’s an indicator of hormonal imbalance, particularly for women approaching menopausal age.

Your hormones act as chemical messengers within your body, constantly dispatching information and instructions to your organs on how to function properly. As such, they affect nearly every part of your health and well-being.

Common Symptoms That May Signal Hormonal Imbalance

During the perimenopausal and menopausal life phase, hormone levels fluctuate as your body begins to move beyond the childbearing years, and changes in estrogen, testosterone, and other hormones create imbalances that can trigger fatigue. A host of other symptoms may surface as well: anxiety, depression, low libido, insomnia, night-time urination, irritability, weight gain, difficulty with focus, concentration, and memory, among others. Eventually, you simply lack the energy or motivation to exercise regularly, eat healthfully, initiate or participate in sex, or other pleasurable activities, all of which can affect your outlook.

Chronic Stress and the Cycle of Adrenal Fatigue

When life becomes less enjoyable and more stressful, your body responds by increasing its level of cortisol. Elevated cortisol levels combined with chronic fatigue can lead to adrenal fatigue syndrome, a miscommunication between the adrenal glands and the body.

Symptoms That Point to Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome

Adrenal fatigue often results in lethargy upon waking up in the morning that continues throughout the day, followed by a “second wind” in the evening, which triggers insomnia and difficulty staying asleep. Dizziness, headaches, salt and sugar cravings, weight gain, mood swings, chronic inflammation, and decreased sex drive are also associated with adrenal fatigue. The fallout from these issues compounds fatigue and possibly leads to even more health concerns.
