Episode 78: 5 Simple Ways to Boost Energy in Midlife

Do you feel like you’re exhausted and dragging through every single day? Between the invisible load of managing a career, a family, aging parents, and shifting hormones, it’s no wonder you feel like you’re running on empty. You need a better way to boost energy in midlife!

In this episode of The Family Fork, I’m getting real about why you lose energy in perimenopause and how to get it back without spending a fortune (like a week at the spa!)

We’re talking about simple, low-friction shifts that turn into habits—habits that quickly give you energy back!

I’ll walk you through the biological “why” behind your fatigue, from the way stress locks your body in fight-or-flight mode, to how hidden inflammatory ingredients make your exhaustion worse.

Midlife or not, you deserve to feel vibrant, excited about your life, and powerful enough to handle whatever the day throws at you.

In this episode:

📌 Discover why your body holds onto fat when you’re stuck in high alert, plus three tools to signal “safety” to your nervous system.

📌 Why systemic inflammation makes you feel heavy and foggy, plus simple food swaps that can clear brain fog in just three days.

📌 Why eating more frequently (but strategically!) stops the blood sugar roller coaster and banishes “hangry” afternoons.

📌 My favorite trick to help you drink water faster
