Episode 58 - Mallorie Cracroft, host of the Uplift for Her podcast and the founder/physician at Uplift For Her, breaks down seven key areas that impact energy levels: sleep quality, nutrition, hormone balance, blood sugar regulation, nervous system support, inflammation, and emotional fatigue. You’ll learn how to identify the specific type of tired you’re experiencing (like morning burnout, afternoon crashes, or all-day exhaustion), and how to uncover what your body is truly asking for. With a focus on functional medicine and real-life strategies, this episode empowers women to take actionable steps toward feeling better, more energized, and more in control of their health.
