Lost your Mojo? It’s not your age, it’s your hormones and your stress chemistry!
Do you ever wake up and think, “Where did my spark go?”
You’re not depressed, not sick, not even necessarily exhausted, but something just feels off.
The motivation you used to have? Gone.
The energy that carried you through the day? Flatlined by mid-afternoon.
Even your joy or “zest” feels like it’s on low battery.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and it’s not just “getting older.” In my functional medicine and health coaching practice, I see women every day who feel this same loss of energy and spark.
Your Mojo Is Your Chemistry
That inner spark, your drive, energy, and sense of aliveness, is powered by your hormones.
When those hormones are balanced, you feel clear, motivated, and confident.
But when they shift out of sync (as they often do in your 40s, 50s and 60s), you start to feel off your game.
Common signs your hormones are stealing your mojo:
- You wake up tired even after a full night’s sleep
- You’re dragging through the day and relying on caffeine or sugar to keep going
- Your motivation or focus has dropped
- Your mood feels “blah” or easily overwhelmed
- You’re doing all the “right things” but not seeing results
What’s Really Happening
When estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, and cortisol change, your metabolism and mood shift too.
It’s not just in your head, it’s in your chemistry.
Here’s what often happens:
- Stress hormones (like cortisol) stay high, draining your energy and slowing metabolism
- Blood sugar swings leave you craving carbs and crashing mid-day
- Low estrogen or thyroid make you feel unmotivated, foggy, or fatigued
You don’t need to push harder, you need to rebalance your hormones and reset your body’s chemistry.
The Good News
You can absolutely get your mojo back, naturally.
Start by focusing on these simple shifts:
Feed Your Hormones
It’s not just about “eating healthy.” Your hormones need protein, healthy fats, and fiber to function properly.
- Protein: Helps stabilize blood sugar, supports thyroid function, and keeps energy steady. Aim for 20–30g per meal.
- Healthy fats: Avocado, olive oil, nuts help hormone production.
- Fiber-rich veggies: Feed your gut and support estrogen clearance.
Small changes like adding a boiled egg to breakfast or a handful of almonds in the afternoon can help your energy feel consistent again.
Protect Your Energy with Rest & Recovery
This is where most women struggle, we’ve been trained to push harder, but your body thrives on rhythm.
- Sleep: Aim for 7–8 hours. Even short naps (15–20 min) can reset cortisol.
- Micro-breaks: Step away from your desk, take a walk, or breathe deeply, your hormones will thank you.
- Boundaries: Screen-free zones at night help your melatonin (sleep hormone) and cortisol balance naturally.
Test, Don’t Guess
You can’t fix what you can’t see. Hormone testing helps uncover the root cause of lost mojo, whether it’s thyroid imbalance, cortisol imbalance, or estrogen/progesterone shifts.
I’ve seen women come back to life after testing and personalized adjustments, from better energy and improved mood to clearer focus and even weight shifts. It’s empowering to know why your body is acting the way it is.
When your hormones are balanced, everything feels easier, your energy, focus, metabolism, and mood all click back into place. You don’t need to push harder, you just need to support your body and hormones.
