That mid-afternoon energy dip is something I hear from women all the time.You’re moving through your day…and then around 3PM, your energy drops, your focus fades, and you start thinking about coffee or something sweet just to get through.In this episode, we continue the series “What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You” and look at what may be happening beneath the surface. Because this is a signal.We walk through four common drivers of that afternoon crash:• Blood sugar instability from earlier in the day• Mineral depletion impacting hydration and energy• Circadian rhythm and lack of morning light exposure• Meal timing and not getting enough support earlier in the dayWhen you understand what your body is responding to, you can begin making small shifts that support steadier energy.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE🔗 Click here for the Luminette 3 Light Therapy Glasses:Use code TANYAPENNINGTON-MILLER15 for 15% off🔗 Click here for the Optimal Electrolytes:Create a profile (if you don’t already have one) and receive 10% off automaticallyIf that 3PM dip has been part of your day, this episode will help you start connecting the dots.🫶🏼 Let’s Stay Connected📸 @tanya.pennington.miller on Instagram💻 nourishtothrive.comAnd don’t forget to follow the show so you never miss an episode.ROOTED IN FAITH.
