757. Why You Still Feel Exhausted - Even With a Clean Diet and Great Sleep

Let's break down why so many women feel drained even when they're following a healthy lifestyle. The truth is, if your body is functioning in a state of dysfunction, surface-level changes aren't enough. I explain how stress, life events, and hormone imbalances quietly build up over time until your system hits a tipping point—what I call the "overflowing bucket effect."

If you've ever been told your labs are "normal" but you still feel far from normal, you'll understand exactly why that happens and what to do next.

In this episode, we cover:

• How chronic stress and small imbalances accumulate over time and lead to exhaustion

• Why a clean diet and good sleep aren't enough when your body is already in overload mode

• Subtle signs that your system is in dysfunction, even when your labs look fine

• How major life events—grief, transitions, illness, caretaking—physically affect your hormones

• Why you need to look beyond basic labs to find the real cause of fatigue

• How to start supporting your biology instead of fighting against it

You're not doing the wrong things—you're just missing the bigger picture. Your system has likely been in and out of crisis mode for years. The first step to real healing is understanding what your hormones are trying to tell you and how to work with them, not against them.
