The Secret to All-Day Energy Without Relying on Coffee

Anthea Holder – Chiropractor, Burwood East

Spring is here—a season that naturally feels lighter, brighter, and more energising. But for many women, especially in their 40s and 50s, energy still feels in short supply. The morning coffee helps you power through, but by mid-afternoon, fatigue hits, and the cravings start.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. The good news? There are natural, sustainable ways to restore your energy without depending on caffeine.

Why Energy Dips Happen

Your body is designed to keep energy steady throughout the day. But factors like:

• Blood sugar spikes and dips

• Poor sleep quality

• Hormonal changes in midlife

• Stress and tension in the nervous system

…can all lead to fatigue, brain fog, and cravings.

Why Coffee Isn’t the Answer

Coffee gives a temporary boost, but it can also:

• Disrupt sleep cycles

• Raise cortisol (your stress hormone)

• Lead to dependency (needing more and more for the same effect)

Instead of masking fatigue, the goal is to rebuild natural energy reserves.

Simple Swaps for Lasting Energy

1. Protein-rich breakfast
   Swap toast or cereal for eggs, Greek yoghurt, or a protein smoothie to balance blood sugar.

2. Hydration matters
   Even mild dehydration can cause tiredness. Aim for water throughout the day.

3. Movement breaks
   Short walks or stretches reset your nervous system and boost circulation.

4. Chiropractic care
   By improving spinal alignment and reducing nervous system stress, chiropractic can help your body work more efficiently, often leading to better sleep, improved energy, and fewer aches that drain you.

5. Eat colourfully
   Spring produce—like leafy greens, berries, and fresh herbs—is rich in vitamins and antioxidants that fuel your cells.
