Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms women experience during menopause. The hormonal fluctuations and declines in estrogen and progesterone can significantly impact energy levels, often leaving women feeling profoundly exhausted despite adequate sleep and rest.
There are several steps that can help counteract fatigue during this transition:
- Get checked out by your doctor to rule out any underlying conditions like anemia, thyroid disorders or sleep apnea that could be exacerbating fatigue
- Optimize sleep hygiene - be consistent with sleep and wake times; limit light exposure and stimulation before bed; create an environment conducive to quality sleep
- Exercise regularly - aim for 30-60 minutes per day of light-moderate activity like walking, yoga or swimming to increase energy and mood
- Eat a healthy, balanced diet - focus on lean proteins, fruits/veggies, whole grains and healthy fats to provide steady energy and key nutrients
- Reduce stress through relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing, massage or nature exposure to ease exhaustion
- Try herbal supplements like maca, ginseng, rhodiola or ashwagandha to potentially reduce fatigue
- Consider bioidentical hormone therapy - estrogen and/or progesterone replacement tailored to your hormonal profile could help overcome fatigue and other menopausal symptoms when lifestyle measures aren't sufficient
