In this episode of Dishing Up Nutrition, Leah and Kara get real about why fatigue often appears during these years, from sleep struggles and hormonal shifts to the hidden impacts of skipped meals, excessive caffeine, or insufficient protein and healthy fats. You’ll learn how small changes -like having a balanced bedtime snack, supporting sleep naturally, and rethinking nutrition -can help you reclaim your energy and spark. If you’re ready for solutions grounded in real food, you’ll walk away feeling encouraged and empowered.
