If you’ve ever thought, “Why am I so tired all the time — even when I’m sleeping?” this episode is for you.

In this conversation, Dr. Becky and Sara B reframe fatigue as information, not failure. Low energy isn’t just about feeling tired — it affects balance, confidence, reaction time, and how much you say yes to life. And for many women, exhaustion has become so normalized that it feels like “just aging.”

In this episode, we talk about:

1. Why sleep alone doesn’t guarantee energy
2. How fatigue can actually be your body trying to protect you
3. Why pushing harder used to work — and why it doesn’t anymore
4. The difference between symptoms and signals
5. Why energy is often the first thing to improve when the body gets the right support

We also introduce the Four Switches — strength, stability, energy, and recovery — and explain how being out of balance (or stuck in overdrive) can quietly drain your system.

This episode isn’t about adding more to your to-do list. It’s about slowing down, listening, and starting with the right support — one small, individualized step at a time.

✨ This conversation sets the stage for the next several episodes, where we’ll break down why doing the “right things” can actually make you more tired — and what to do instead.

1. Fatigue is a signal, not a personal failure
2. Energy reflects how well your systems work together, not just sleep
3. Pushing through low energy can shrink your world over time
4. There is no one-size-fits-all starting point — and that’s a good thing
5. Supporting the body correctly often restores energy before anything else

If this episode resonated, stay with us — this is just the beginning.

Over the next few episodes, we’ll break down:

1. Why “healthy habits” can backfire
2. How to support energy without doing more
3. What aging strong actually looks like in real life
