Why We Don’t Have Energy (and What to Do About It)1. WHAT — Why Are We So Tired?

Many people today — especially women and men in mid-life — feel like they're running on empty. We’re told to "eat less, exercise more, push through" — but what if that advice is outdated?
What if low energy isn’t just about age, but about what we’re putting into (or not putting into) our bodies — and how we think about ourselves?

2. WHY — What’s Really Going On?

Here’s what I’ve learned from my own journey and ongoing research:

💡 Vitamin D (and nutrients like it) are essential — but not all forms are equal.

• Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is inactive and takes up to two weeks to process through the liver.

• Calcifediol, an activated form, works immediately, supporting energy, immunity, and mood.

💡 Vitamin D is fat-soluble, not water-soluble — meaning without good healthy fats, you can’t absorb it properly.

💡 And here’s the kicker — many of us (especially women) are still running old programs:

"Eat less, exercise more, push through the pain."

These outdated beliefs leave us undernourished, stressed, and fighting our own bodies.
➡️ We need good fats to feel satisfied, calm, and balanced.
➡️ We need enough nutrients to fuel real energy, not just willpower.
➡️ We need to stop fighting ourselves.

3. HOW — So, What Can You Do?

✅ Nourish, don’t punish — Focus on adding foods that give back to you:

• Healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, grass-fed butter, nuts, seeds).

• Nutrient-dense proteins and veggies.

• The right form of vitamins, like activated Vitamin D.

✅ Drop the struggle — Instead of pushing through, listen to your body. Rest, pause, nourish, and care.

✅ Challenge the old story — Notice when you hear "I have to eat less and do more." Ask yourself:

"Is that true for me? Or is there a kinder way to care for my body?"

4. WHAT IF — Imagine a New Way?

🌿 What if you let go of struggle and chose ease and nourishment instead?
🌿 What if you listened to what your body needs — food, nutrients, rest, joy?
🌿 What if you felt energized, calm, and enough — without pushing or punishing yourself?

✨ What else could be possible if you treated yourself like someone worth caring for?
