Getting several hours of sleep does not necessarily mean you are receiving restorative, high-quality sleep.
If you regularly wake feeling exhausted, struggle with brain fog or find it difficult to maintain your energy throughout the day, there may be underlying factors that deserve closer attention.
In this episode, accredited practising dietitian Nicole Moore begins with nutritional and physical factors that may contribute to fatigue.
She discusses iron studies, including the importance of asking about ferritin, as well as vitamin B12 and vitamin D. Nicole also explores hydration, electrolytes and protein intake, explaining how each can affect the brain, muscles, hormones and energy production.
The conversation then turns to chronic stress and sleep quality. Nicole discusses cortisol, the gut–brain connection and practical sleep-hygiene strategies, including reducing evening stimulation, keeping the bedroom cool and dark, and using morning and evening light to support the body’s circadian rhythm.
Finally, Nicole examines blood glucose fluctuations, hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause, sleep apnoea, anxiety, depression, alcohol and gut health.
Her central message is that persistent fatigue should not simply be accepted as normal. By investigating possible causes with qualified health professionals and making gradual, sustainable changes, listeners can begin working towards better sleep, clearer thinking and more consistent energy.
