Ever wake up already exhausted, wondering where your energy went? If you’ve been surviving on caffeine and sugar but still hitting that afternoon slump, it’s time for a reset.
In this episode of Smash the Crash, we’re tackling midlife energy crashes—what’s causing them and how to pivot in just five minutes a day (without relying on another cup of coffee!).
🔹 Why midlife energy dips happen – Hormone fluctuations, stress, and blood sugar roller coasters
🔹 The power of protein – How adding just one protein source to your meal can stabilize energy
🔹 Mindset shifts – Overthinking and decision fatigue are real—here’s how to break the cycle
🔹 Simple movement strategies – Why just five minutes of intentional movement can change everything
🔹 The long-term impact of inaction – Brain fog, exhaustion, and cravings don’t have to be your norm
Challenge of the Week: Pick one small tweak—protein at breakfast, a deep-breathing break, or five minutes of movement—and start today! tag me on IG @itsMelissaHinman
