Your Brain Is an Energy Hog (And Multitasking Is Making It Worse)

Have you ever felt completely exhausted… even though you didn’t do anything physical?
That’s not in your head—it’s coming from your brain.
In this episode, we’re diving into something most women over 40 don’t realize: your brain is one of the most energy-demanding organs in your body, and the way we live today—constant multitasking, switching, and mental load—is quietly draining your energy all day long.
We’ll cover:
• Why multitasking is metabolically expensive
• How your brain actually uses energy (and why it gets depleted)
• What changes after 40 with hormones, mitochondria, and nutrient needs
• Why decision fatigue and overwhelm are physiological—not personal failure
• Simple ways to reduce mental load and restore energy
If you’ve been feeling tired, scattered, or overwhelmed—this episode will help you understand why and give you a better path forward.
This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about aligning your life with how your body was designed to function.
