Me too. On stimulants for ADd, drinking coffee and water and Even the , go to walk (I ran 6 mi a day last year) plus plus and most of my life- but now I could t even walk a few minutes… or gym. So tired and apathetic. Scary.
@visionvixxen I just checked in with my doctor and am scheduled for blood work and other age appropriate testing. She thinks it's hormonal, which is likely correct, and suggested I see a psychologist and get on an SSRI to increase my seratonin uptake.
This is likely related to your hormone levels lowering, and also to a hormone imbalance, within this. There are things you can do to improve your energy, even in this time of life. Let me know if you need some help with learning how to improve on this. You can reach me at: www.angelasimpsonfunctionalmedicine.ca
You likely have estrogen dominance, which can happen at any age. It is usually tied into poor processing/detoxification of hormones.

@@Muthonie It works for me too (to get rid of the fatigue) but it completely messes up my cycle and makes me irregular. Did that happen to you? If I took it every single day I'm certain it would stop my period altogether.
I will start the exercise after my period starts because all of this is me… I’m 38, dealing with anxiety and all what you mentioned has happened to me, I always tend to feel nauseous and tired and just out of place, the feeling I can’t fight it’s a lost feeling. It only happens right before my period starts, so clearly I need to incorporate exercising and change my diet. Being a woman is a blessing but man oh man 😢😢
Thanks for this reply… yes this is common, especially as you approach your 40’s and beyond. Let me know if you would like some specific guidance for your situation.

I am on my period right now I’m Hungry and tired stressed out . I’m trynna be more easier on myself periods are out of our control so we must take it easy and just rest it’s fine to rest so we don’t fall out somewhere
Been happened to me for years since late 20s. Feels like bipolar and I was given bipolar meds. Wellbutrin & adderall. It’s pmdd and has nothing to do with menopause it’s the body is sensitive to hormones there’s no imbalance. The hormone levels are normal it’s the body is sensitive to the hormones. I wish ppl would stop trying to make us have menopause with everything. It’s disturbing.
Yes, PMDD has different root causes for symptoms for sure. There are other lifestyle factors that need to be addressed, and PMDD symptoms can get worse leading up to menopause….. due to changes in neurotransmitter/ brain chemical levels. If you want more information about this specific condition and ways to address the imbalances that come with this condition, please let me know.
@@angelasimpsonfunctionalmed5893 well it seems to be activated by emotional stress and if it gets worse leading into menopause perhaps that’s just the menopause. Ever thought about that? Lol
It is going to be a combination of factors, with both PMDD and the approach and onset of menopause that increases symptoms.... there are ways to get the balance back though, and manage this to live a happier, more full life. If you want to speak further about this, and how this could happen for you, let me know. Thanks for your interest in my channel@@HighFrequencyGuru

I am 23 and I've been withstanding this since about 5 years ago when I started university. Thank you so much for confirming it was the damn stress all along.
Some of the worst symptoms I had with my hormones and fatigue were when I was in University…. Due to high stress….. there are ways to help manage this though, you don’t have to live debilitating fatigue until you finish university or beyond. If you want more support around this, please let me know.
This is so me. Plus I can’t control the binge eating the week in a half up to my period. Whole Foods are not cutting it. My body rejects them and all I want is total junk to satisfy myself. It’s like every two hours my cravings are ravenous: This is utterly impossible.
This might sound weird, but since I tried adding a protein shake into my diet due to cardio exercises (wich made me look up what I am lacking, cause the hunger cravings were just as intense as previous period cravings) its not that extrem for me anymore and it also helps on days were I feel like I cant eat anything. Aperantly I had a lack of protein and that explains a lot of food cravings. ❤🌻😶
@@christine8661 thank you. Unfortunately I have tried it all. Last time I did carnivore I had to quit. Day four I had a permanent hangover and was so grossly ill I had to stop. I tried to suffer with the hangover symptoms (I had plenty of electrolytes) for two days. Very debilitating. It felt like I drank a case a beer the night before for almost 4 days until it finally subsided. My body just isn’t good at carnivore or keto. I wish it was.
I was so sleepy that I could sleep the whole day away! I had to force myself to wake up. Sometimes I would feel soo sleepy I felt sleepy within the dream as well

There is likely a hormone imbalance that needs to be addressed, regardless of your age, correct. If you would like help with this, please let me know… happy to connect on a complimentary consult to discuss this…
@@angelasimpsonfunctionalmed5893 Thanks for replying, I appreciate it. Doctors that I have spoken to do not believe in hormone testing. They say that it is hard to get an accurate result. The only thing they check is the thyroid or estrogen levels in menopausal women who are on HRT 🤷🏽♀️ Also, I have Epilespy and can only take progesterone in the coil. But how can they just give me progesterone when they can't even check my hormones? What if my progesterone is high? That only helps with heavy bleeding but not the PMS. You can buy hormone test kits but if I can't go to the doctors for help, what’s the point. It’s frustrating. 😢
For some women, hormones can be out of balance, most of their lives. If you have been this way, seeking out help for hormone balancing would be a good idea.
This is sounding as though you have a hormone imbalance... it is possible that you have estrogen dominance.

Great video!!! My cycle has gotten shorter, my PMS has gotten worse. But my partner is going through a health crisis so stress is at an all time high and I haven’t had as much time to work out. I started a lower carb diet that started to make me feel more balanced in terms of diet, and less bloated. But, stress is definitely huge.
Yes , eating a strict diet for too long, can create imbalances with hormones…. if you need help with understanding what type of food plan may work best for you, please let me know…
I'm almost too tired to type. I am on 200mg of progesterone and testosterone cream. A few days before my period I am just in the bed... once I fell asleep after work and didn't wake up until the next day. That has never happened!
I was like this all of my life since my period. But now I am 41 and it got less intense and it’s better actually. Funny thing is I have done a lot of healing on myself, past childhood traumas etc so I don’t have such big emotional rollercoaster anymore before my period. Fatigue is also not as bad as it used to be.

I am 45 and ive been experiencing debilitating vomitting, inflammatory arthritis, gum abscesses and severe facial oedema, with acute bronchitis and sinus infections 1 week before my periods. I have taken so much time off work every month, about to lose my job due to this premenstrual autoimmune chaos 1 week before a period. Doctors dont believe me, it is horrendous and Ive never been so depressed in all my life because no one believes me. I have so many photos of severe angioedema, gum abscesses and bloating prior to periods, and yet no one still believes me. Is anyone experiencing this? Please help, this isnt just fatigue, this is similar to an anaphylactic reaction every 3 weeks, I have to use ventolin to breathe as my airways even close up 1 week before my period. My diet never changes, my exercise level never changes. Anyone going through the same thing?

Im always going for hiking, walking and working out yesterday i left the house to hike and before i walked to the next street i just felt this super heavy weight in my back i just couldn't today again same thing, period is 3 days late
I’m in perimenopause. I have been on progesterone for 5 months. I am still struggling the week before my period. What other treatments are there? Your video inspired me to go for a walk two days in a row now.
This is not normal. It can happen if estrogen and progesterone are out of balance. The fatigue can be due to low estrogen, but it is important to look deeper into this, beyond just the estrogen levels... as often the gut and immune system are out of balance too, and this impacts hormone balance.

Yes: birth control stops ovulation…. So if you have a hormone imbalance , you likely won’t notice it as much if on the birth control pill.

Let me know, as I can speak with you, if you want some assistance with how to regulate and balance your hormones

Ozempic/ GPL-1 supports can help some, but it is not a solution for all/ many women.

I'm 29 and my debilidating fatigue comes gradually from day 8 to day 14 (ovulation) and that 14th day is the most severe. For me it's not right before the period so I never hear of my issue. Then I'm still badly fatigued until day 23 and then I start to finally feel better for about 6 days until my period hits. The only thing that gets rid of the symptoms is Primrose Oil but it's making my periods irregular and painful so idk what to do
so it's not normal if it happens every time 😢 i thought they say women do need more rest than man, so i adjusted my responsibilities with my menstrual fatigue since i happened to work in a less demanding workplace
I want to check my hormone levels. What doctor should I go to and how should I ask to get these test done ? Would it be my OBGYN ?or a different specialist?
Your primary care Doctor should be able to check your hormone levels typically. If not though, I can requisition this across North America. I am not sure where you are located?
@@angelasimpson9182 I’m located in Georgia. I don’t think my primary checks my estrogen and other hormone levels progesterone levels but they do check the thyroid levels … I have to check

Hungry and tired stressed out . I’m trynna be more easier on myself periods are out of our control so we must take it easy and just rest it’s fine to rest so we don’t fall out somewhere
Been happened to me for years since late 20s. Feels like bipolar and I was given bipolar meds. Wellbutrin & adderall. It’s pmdd and has nothing to do with menopause it’s the body is sensitive to hormones there’s no imbalance. The hormone levels are normal it’s the body is sensitive to the hormones. I wish ppl would stop trying to make us have menopause with everything. It’s disturbing.
Yes, PMDD has different root causes for symptoms for sure. There are other lifestyle factors that need to be addressed, and PMDD symptoms can get worse leading up to menopause….. due to changes in neurotransmitter/ brain chemical levels. If you want more information about this specific condition and ways to address the imbalances that come with this condition, please let me know.
@@angelasimpsonfunctionalmed5893 well it seems to be activated by emotional stress and if it gets worse leading into menopause perhaps that’s just the menopause. Ever thought about that? Lol
It is going to be a combination of factors, with both PMDD and the approach and onset of menopause that increases symptoms.... there are ways to get the balance back though, and manage this to live a happier, more full life. If you want to speak further about this, and how this could happen for you, let me know. Thanks for your interest in my channel@@HighFrequencyGuru
I’m turning 30 this month and you described me to the T. Thank you for this video. I will definitely be implementing your suggestions. I need to get my life back.
I feel sleepy all the time before my periods 😔😔😔
Me too from 1 year I am 26
Same it’s okay to get rest
I am 23 and I've been withstanding this since about 5 years ago when I started university. Thank you so much for confirming it was the damn stress all along.
Some of the worst symptoms I had with my hormones and fatigue were when I was in University…. Due to high stress….. there are ways to help manage this though, you don’t have to live debilitating fatigue until you finish university or beyond. If you want more support around this, please let me know.
Thankyou for your reply, it means so much to me, I feel like a hyperchondriac, so thankyou.
I think university has brought this is on in my life. I rarely used to have this problem before.
This is so me. Plus I can’t control the binge eating the week in a half up to my period. Whole Foods are not cutting it. My body rejects them and all I want is total junk to satisfy myself. It’s like every two hours my cravings are ravenous: This is utterly impossible.
This might sound weird, but since I tried adding a protein shake into my diet due to cardio exercises (wich made me look up what I am lacking, cause the hunger cravings were just as intense as previous period cravings) its not that extrem for me anymore and it also helps on days were I feel like I cant eat anything. Aperantly I had a lack of protein and that explains a lot of food cravings. ❤🌻😶
@@lisal.1114 thank you for that recommendation. What type of protein powder do you use?
This is me!!!! I used to go to mccdonalds 5x a week before my period 😭
Do you eat meat? Try eating more carnivore when you feel bingey. It will help satiate you. Eat till you’re full. ❤
@@christine8661 thank you. Unfortunately I have tried it all. Last time I did carnivore I had to quit. Day four I had a permanent hangover and was so grossly ill I had to stop. I tried to suffer with the hangover symptoms (I had plenty of electrolytes) for two days. Very debilitating. It felt like I drank a case a beer the night before for almost 4 days until it finally subsided. My body just isn’t good at carnivore or keto. I wish it was.
I was so sleepy that I could sleep the whole day away! I had to force myself to wake up. Sometimes I would feel soo sleepy I felt sleepy within the dream as well
This is not normal to feel this way. You likely have a hormone imbalance. To learn what can be done, please feel free to connect with me for a free 1 on 1 call at: www.angelasimpsonfunctionalmedicine.ca
I go through this too. I’m 38 and feel hopeless GP is ignoring my concerns
No way! I've felt this way from the moment I started my periods so this can't be due to getting older.
Same 🥲
Yes I’m in my mid 20s and it’s so annoying. And I’m in nursing school, the most stressful major there is. That’s when I’ve been really feeling the fatigue smh
There is likely a hormone imbalance that needs to be addressed, regardless of your age, correct. If you would like help with this, please let me know… happy to connect on a complimentary consult to discuss this…
@@angelasimpsonfunctionalmed5893 Thanks for replying, I appreciate it. Doctors that I have spoken to do not believe in hormone testing.
They say that it is hard to get an accurate result. The only thing they check is the thyroid or estrogen levels in menopausal women who are on HRT 🤷🏽♀️
Also, I have Epilespy and can only take progesterone in the coil. But how can they just give me progesterone when they can't even check my hormones? What if my progesterone is high? That only helps with heavy bleeding but not the PMS. You can buy hormone test kits but if I can't go to the doctors for help, what’s the point. It’s frustrating. 😢
For some women, hormones can be out of balance, most of their lives. If you have been this way, seeking out help for hormone balancing would be a good idea.
This whole week of pms,my eyes 👀 are so heavy,I can barely keep them open, it’s the worse
This is sounding as though you have a hormone imbalance... it is possible that you have estrogen dominance.

Great information! I was suffering with fatigue before my period, quite bad, I’ve just had a couple of days off work. I eat very low carb, so I went and ate a bowl of fruit salad and I think I’m feeling better! Thank goodness! Will have to watch your other videos. 🎉❤
Hi Anna! Thanks for your message. You may have some blood sugar imbalances, from what you have explained. I am doing a free blood sugar balancing challenge starting feb . 20th, for two weeks if you would like to join?

This is likely tied into a hormone imbalance. You may also have a thyroid hormone imbalance. If you want to learn how to get to the root of this, to get to a long-term solution, please feel free to message me at: info@angelasimpsonfunctionalmedicine.ca
Great video!!! My cycle has gotten shorter, my PMS has gotten worse. But my partner is going through a health crisis so stress is at an all time high and I haven’t had as much time to work out. I started a lower carb diet that started to make me feel more balanced in terms of diet, and less bloated. But, stress is definitely huge.
This video taught me that my diet may be a bitt too strict. Thank you so much.
Yes , eating a strict diet for too long, can create imbalances with hormones…. if you need help with understanding what type of food plan may work best for you, please let me know…
I'm almost too tired to type. I am on 200mg of progesterone and testosterone cream. A few days before my period I am just in the bed... once I fell asleep after work and didn't wake up until the next day. That has never happened!
I was like this all of my life since my period. But now I am 41 and it got less intense and it’s better actually.
Funny thing is I have done a lot of healing on myself, past childhood traumas etc so I don’t have such big emotional rollercoaster anymore before my period. Fatigue is also not as bad as it used to be.
Thanks for sharing
So great to hear. Thanks for sharing !!!
Are there specific books that you read or techniques you used to work on trauma?
This isn't just for people 40 and up I'm 22 and have PMDD

Yesssss especially when you gotta work, cook, shop clean ITS TOO MUCH! I’m
Tired 😢
Brilliant video!
This was really helpful. Thanks
This was me today and this helped me a lot to not feel lazy ❤
This never happened to me before. Now I am so exhausted that I considered going to ER. I am yawning 100% of the time and I can't get any oxygen. I can only lay down and breathe very slowly.
Update: I am better now. I didnt experience this again during my periods. So it may have been a coincidende.
I have been going to drs for years and they tell me they haven't seen symptoms like mine. I lose control of my muscles. My legs shake and i often collapse. My grip on items gets bad and driving becomes dangerous because i am so tired. I have tried diets and birth control but my doctors thinks its neurologically related. I'm at a loss. Nobody can help me and it effects every aspect of my life.
This sounds neurological … a PT specifically for this area of health, would be good to see. Take care
Thank you for this video. I’m 46 and it’s happening every month. I’m ready to call out from work tomorrow but I know I can’t. I will try your suggestions.
Could it be to do with vitamin D deficiency aswell? Does sunshine and a vitamin d supplement help?

Hi in this video you say that this is an issue for older women, but i'm 21 and have been experiencing extreme period fatigue from the age of 19. Is the information in this video still relevant to me and do you have any advice for me.
This can be occuring for women at any age, but is more common for women as they get closer to there 40’s and beyond…. Yes the information is still relevant. Advise needs to be tailored to individual needs, which I am happy to discuss on a 1 on 1 call. You can book this on my website, if interested. Thank you.

I get itchy eyes and skin,I'm tired like I've been on a long road trip.I have had the thick hair on my chin during my period.The hair on the chin permanently.
I’m 53 and my period will be here in about 2 or 3 days, I’m exhausted!! All I want to do is lie down, relax or just sleep for hours. This started happening to me after I turned 50. What I’ve also noticed is that after my period starts, maybe by day 2 or 3, my energy shoots back up and I want to clean the entire house! Every single time! I have an event to attend tonight and I’m not going because I’m too tired. ARGH!!!!
I am 45 and ive been experiencing debilitating vomitting, inflammatory arthritis, gum abscesses and severe facial oedema, with acute bronchitis and sinus infections 1 week before my periods. I have taken so much time off work every month, about to lose my job due to this premenstrual autoimmune chaos 1 week before a period. Doctors dont believe me, it is horrendous and Ive never been so depressed in all my life because no one believes me. I have so many photos of severe angioedema, gum abscesses and bloating prior to periods, and yet no one still believes me. Is anyone experiencing this? Please help, this isnt just fatigue, this is similar to an anaphylactic reaction every 3 weeks, I have to use ventolin to breathe as my airways even close up 1 week before my period. My diet never changes, my exercise level never changes. Anyone going through the same thing?
Subclinical scurvy. I had it, too. Beginning of a systemic autoimmune disease.
@@kaylacarpenter272 thankyou for your reply. Crazy in this day and age we can develop scurvy, but Ive felt it was scurvy all along. Thankyou, you are a sweetheart for your reply, means alot.

Maybe try a diuretic

Thank you
Thank you
You are welcome. If you have any questions, please let me know…
I do a lot of exercise and this happens to me, I have to stop my training routine around 10 days before my period and it really impacts my progress in the gym. Nutrition is very clean, I eat high carb diet wholegrains, fruits veg etc, meat and eggs, balanced diet not extreme restrictive, but this stills persists is annoying
Me too!!!!!!!!!!
@jenniferdiane82 why? If I don't eat carbs, I don't have energy to fuel my workouts, I would feel even worse
Lab test with hormones ask your doctor. Soybeans to bring up estrogen and progesterone cream to bring up the level. Magnesium for sleep.
@@cbw6012 I dont eat soy at all but thanks for the information, will look up at the magnesium 👍

falling asleep sitting up it's ridiculous.

I am 41 but I’m feeling tired mood swings all I want is to sleep all day 😢

Im always going for hiking, walking and working out yesterday i left the house to hike and before i walked to the next street i just felt this super heavy weight in my back i just couldn't today again same thing, period is 3 days late
Hello Angela thank you so much for this video!!!!! Please would you be able to do a video on PMDD???? Many thanks ❤
I will…. Yes . This is a very challenging condition. I will talk through some strategies around this
My doctor gave me the same advice walk / workout
Yes, it sounds very basic and simple, but it works….
I’m in perimenopause. I have been on progesterone for 5 months. I am still struggling the week before my period. What other treatments are there? Your video inspired me to go for a walk two days in a row now.
I didn’t even have enough energy to finish this video. I kept falling asleep. Wish there was a quick fix
I have the fatigue a week or two before the period. Is that normal? I feel so tired that i cannot carry out my work and it gets so frustrating.
This is not normal. It can happen if estrogen and progesterone are out of balance. The fatigue can be due to low estrogen, but it is important to look deeper into this, beyond just the estrogen levels... as often the gut and immune system are out of balance too, and this impacts hormone balance. If you would like more information on this, please feel free to contact me and/or book an appointment through my website: www.angelasimpsonfunctionalmedicine.ca

This is likely due to a higher than optimal toxin load/burden in the body: can be from toxins in our food supply, air pollution, plastics/personal care products and more….. you may need to do some customized detoxification, to help you with rebalancing your health.

I’m 35, and the pre menstrual fatigue and emotional tension gets so extreme 5-7 days before my period. I can’t cope. I often miss work if it hits on a weekday. But my period is consistently 29days. My last period was a week late, so I don’t think it’s progesterone. I have extremely heavy bleeding. My ferritin level is at 15. I have a poor compliance history taking iron tablets. I like exercise, but during the week leading up to my period and the week of, I literally can’t get up let alone go to the gym.
It is likely your gut that is out of balance, that is influencing your hormonal symptoms….. more so than the hormones themselves being out of balance. This is common, for many women….

I'm 34, and my periods seemed to be worse after I got off birth control. I have never noticed before until I got off
Yes: birth control stops ovulation…. So if you have a hormone imbalance , you likely won’t notice it as much if on the birth control pill. It can take a few cycles to regulate hormones, when coming off, and if still not feeling balanced, you may need some help with this. Let me know, as I can speak with you, if you want some assistance with how to regulate and balance your hormones
Yes, this changes how your body is producing hormones, and if you feel unwell, you likely have hormone imbalances. If you want to learn about natural strategies for balancing hormones and feeling better, please reach out to: www.angelasimpsonfunctionalmedicine.ca
Have there been any studies on ozempic or other medications that help with insulin regulation and the link to women who are in these stages
Ozempic/ GPL-1 supports can help some, but it is not a solution for all/ many women. Insulin is best regulated through consistent ( but not high intensity, only moderate) levels of exercise, proper sleep, and products such as ALA and Berberine. The gut/gut microbiome also need to be balanced, to keep both insulin and glucose balanced….

This can be related to a few different factors, but hormone imbalance is definitely one of them. Usually, too much estrogen, relative to progesterone, causes symptoms such as fatigue (can be severe at certain points in the cycle), brain fog, and other physical symptoms.

Can this fatigue and clumsiness also happen in late 20s during PMS?
Yes it most definitely can, and is usually related to Estrogen Dominance

How? Debilitating fatigue and exercise in the same sentence? I can't even walk to the toilet!
Im so tired as I am watching your video. I always thought I have insulin issues, but like you mentioned Im one of those women dont even eat too much carb. I am so tired, its so frustrating, cant focus my work. If I can’t think, I get very anxious during work. I feel stupid. I also was recently diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis… not easy to be a woman. Definitely will try you method, eat more veggies. Thank you for the tips!
I found the Glucose Goddess diet good to get rid of brain fog and stabilise my mood. Low iron can also cause fatigue and mood issues.
Endometriosis at the root cause of it, is tied into too much inflammation in the body… and once you have endo.: fatigue and pain levels are higher, especially at certain points in the cycle.

It could be but all I know is, I didn't have these issues in my 20s but now I'm in late 30s all these issues so id say more perimenopausal issues.
This is me the last few months, i eat mostly carnivore but i definitely add in some carbs around this time. I also give myself the grace to know i need to slow down. So if i don't workout for the week its ok.

This is happening to me right now hayyyssss
Hlo mam its my second day and i feel like I have no energy it feel likes empty stomach even after eating 😢
Yes, this is related to a hormone imbalance, and it is also likely tied into low iron, if the fatigue comes at this time in your cycle…..
@@angelasimpsonfunctionalmed5893 mam would you like to suggest me some better food for this situation.
This sounds like estrogen dominance…. there are different causes to it, and primrose can help, but really is more of a bandaid to symptoms… which is why some symptoms got better and some got worse. Let me know if you want to speak further about this on a complimentary consultation, to discuss how to get to the root of these symptoms, to develop a lasting solution.
I usé nuvaring bc I had endometriosis so I don’t get my period until I break through….Has anyone tried maca root or something like mushrooms such as cordyceps? For energy or hormone balance
