@maryhealthyvibes: Feel like you can’t survive 3 PM without a nap, snack, or coffee? Those sudden afternoon crashes during perimenopause aren’t random — they’re often tied to blood sugar swings 🎢 As hormones like estrogen and cortisol fluctuate, your body has a harder time managing stress and carbs — leading to that drained, foggy feeling. Here’s what’s helped me stay more balanced: 🍳 Adding 20–30g of protein to each meal — keeps energy steady and cravings in check. 🥗 No more skipping meals — it only leads to worse crashes later. 🚶♀️ A short walk after eating — just 10 minutes makes a real difference. What age were you when you first noticed perimenopause symptoms? Let’s talk about it in the comments 💬 #perimenopausesupport #menopausejourney #womenover40
