Balanced lunch with carbs and protein for a woman in her 40's fixing her energy crashes from Coquitlam BC, supporting steady energy and blood sugar without restrictive diets.

How My 40+ Client Fixed Her 2pm Energy Crashes (thanks perimenopause) — Without Cutting Carbs or Giving Up Family Meals

Ever feel like you’re doing everything “right” but still feel like the gas tank is empty and only a oat latte and something sweet will get  you through the many hours until bed? 

OOF.

You’re not alone — especially if you’re in your 40s and feeling the effects of hormone shifts, metabolism changes, and years of trying to “eat healthy.”

What if the problem isn’t carbs… but how your body is handling them (and more importantly – how eating them differently makes all the difference)?

In today’s quick video, I share how one of my clients completely turned around her afternoon energy crash (thanks to shifting metabolism and perimenopause hormones)  — and did it without cutting sourdough and chocolate or making 3 separate meals for family dinners.

For many women between 35 and 55,  energy crashes aren’t actually about eating “bad” foods. They’re about:

  • Skipping the right amounts of protein and fiber at meals

  • Inconsistent meal timing

  • Trying to power through long gaps between meals on caffeine and a to-do list

  • Under-fueling earlier in the day

Once we adjusted her nutrition to support better blood sugar regulation — without being extreme — her energy stabilized. She could make it through a long day of teams meetings and still have juice left over to hit the park with her kids on sunny nights and drop in to an extra pilates class on her way home.

This is exactly what we work on inside my Midlife Metabolism & Energy Reset Session — personalized, realistic nutrition for women who are ready for lasting change.
