Listen Later

Why in the hell do you feel the way you do?
Is it because you're juggling the nonstop demands of being a mom, a partner, a career woman—or maybe all three at once? Maybe you're a single mom with two jobs, racing between sports practices and grocery runs, and trying to remember when you last had a minute to yourself. Or maybe… just maybe… your body is trying to tell you something.
This week on Hump Day Hormones, we're diving into what fatigue really means—and how to uncover the root causes behind that constant tired, sluggish, weak feeling that so many of us push through. Could it be your lifestyle? Or is it something deeper—like a vitamin deficiency, hormone imbalance, or the inability to absorb nutrients in the first place?
We're breaking down the five key players that could sabotage your energy, strength, and overall vitality: Vitamin B12, Folate, Ferritin, Collagen, and Creatine. It's an unexpected mix, but if you're passionate about aging stronger, feeling better, and showing up fully in your life, this is the episode for you.
We'll discuss how deficiencies in these nutrients can mimic hormone issues, thyroid dysfunction, or even mental health conditions like anxiety and depression. We'll help you understand what symptoms to look for, what labs to ask for, and why basic testing may not always be enough. We'll also discuss how gut health, medications, genetics, and even birth control may be influencing your ability to absorb and use these critical nutrients.
As always, we believe in the power of nutrition and smart supplementation, but also in testing and truly personalizing care. We'll highlight the role of HRT, the importance of methylation, and how optimizing these often-overlooked nutrients can help you sleep better, feel stronger, and regain control of your health.
If you've ever asked yourself, "Why am I so tired all the time?"—don't miss this conversation. We're here to help you connect the dots and finally feel like yourself again.
Tune in, take notes, and let's start feeling better—together.
