It feels like your energy rises and falls for no reason. One week you’re unstoppable, the next you just want to sleep. It’s completely normal — and often tied to your cycle.

After your period, estrogen rises, bringing focus and energy. Around ovulation, many feel their most active. Then estrogen drops and progesterone increases — a calming hormone that shifts the body toward rest and recovery, like nature slowing after summer.

Learning to follow your body’s rhythm helps you use your energy wisely. Some days are made for doing, others for resting. But if fatigue doesn’t lift, it might relate to low iron, stress, or sleep issues.

Fatigue isn’t failure — it’s your body asking for care.

Alma’s tips:

• 
  • Notice which weeks you feel strong or slow.
• 
  • Eat regularly and stay hydrated.
• 
  • If the tiredness persists, ask for iron or thyroid testing.
