What’s Draining Your Energy (and How to Spot It)
Feeling drained isn’t just about “being busy.” Energy is a resource that can either be protected or depleted. The sneaky part? Many everyday habits quietly rob us of energy without us even realizing it.
Common Energy Zappers:
-
Blood sugar swings: Skipping meals, sugary snacks, or refined carbs cause crashes.
-
Chronic stress: Keeps your nervous system stuck in “fight or flight,” burning through cortisol.
-
Toxin exposure: Your body spends extra energy processing chemicals from food, air, and products.
-
Overexercising: Too much high-intensity training without recovery increases cortisol and drains hormones.
-
Poor sleep hygiene: Screens before bed, inconsistent schedules, and caffeine late in the day disrupt melatonin.
Why This Matters:
Each “zap” creates a ripple effect—overloading detox pathways, spiking inflammation, and draining your cells’ ability to produce steady energy.
Key Takeaway:
Fatigue isn’t random. If you’re constantly running on empty, your daily choices may be quietly draining your hormone-powered battery.
