What Helps With Fatigue During Menopause?
The menopausal transition is one of the most challenging times in a woman’s life. Fatigue is especially common during this time due to fluctuating hormone levels, sleep disturbances, and other symptoms. Fortunately, there are several things you can do to find relief from menopausal fatigue.
Get adequate rest: Make sure your sleep environment is conducive to restful sleep with dark curtains and no electronics in the bedroom—sleep disturbances are especially common during menopause, so it’s important to be intentional about getting enough restful sleep.
Eat healthfully: During menopause it is especially important to fuel your body with nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and lean proteins that will nourish you rather than deplete you of energy. Avoid processed foods like white breads, pastas and snack foods which can leave you feeling sluggish and depleted of energy throughout the day.
Address underlying causes: If lifestyle changes don’t provide enough relief from weariness then speak with an expert about addressing underlying issues like depression or anxiety that may be causing fatigue during this time in your life. Other medical conditions such as anemia or thyroid problems could be at play so it is best to work with a professional who can help diagnose any underlying medical cause for your fatigue.
Try natural remedies: Several herbal remedies have been found to reduce symptoms of menopause including fatigued including black cohosh, St John’s wort, ginseng and Siberian ginseng—ask your doctor before trying any herbal supplements as they can interact negatively with some medications or cause side effects in certain individuals.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): Hormone fluctuations during this time can cause extreme feelings of exhaustion—for those who need more relief than lifestyle changes offer then HRT may be an option worth exploring with a healthcare provider.
