Hormonal Fatigue
Why you feel completely drained before your period, and how to reclaim your energy.
The Biology Behind It
During the late luteal phase (the week before your period), your progesterone levels peak and then crash rapidly along with estrogen. Progesterone has a natural sedative effect on the brain. When these hormones dive, it significantly impacts serotonin and dopamine production, leaving you feeling exhausted, unmotivated, and physically drained.
Natural Solutions
Prioritize complex carbohydrates like sweet potatoes to stabilize blood sugar and combat crashes.
Shift to low-intensity workouts like yoga or walking instead of HIIT.
Increase magnesium intake through dark leafy greens or supplements to support cellular energy.
