Do you remember a time when you could power through long days, juggle tasks, and still have energy left? If you’re a woman over 40, that might feel like a distant memory. You’re not imagining it—your body is changing, and maintaining energy and strength genuinely becomes more challenging.

But here’s the thing: it’s not about trying harder or finding more hours in the day. Your approach needs to evolve with your body. Let’s explore why things feel different and how to regain your energy and strength.

Why Your Body Feels Different After 40

Several factors come into play after 40, creating a "perfect storm" that impacts your energy and strength.

1. Hormonal Shifts & Slower Metabolism

As estrogen levels drop, your metabolism slows down.

This makes it easier to gain weight and harder to lose it.

You may feel more sluggish as your body stores energy differently.

2. Natural Muscle Loss (Sarcopenia)

Women lose 3–8% of muscle mass per decade after 30.

After 40, this process speeds up. Less muscle means:

A slower metabolism (as muscle burns calories even at rest).
Reduced strength, making everyday tasks harder.
Increased risk of injury.

3. Life’s Growing Demands

A high-pressure career, managing a household, and caring for family leave little time for self-care.

Chronic stress increases cortisol levels, leading to:

Fatigue.
Cravings for unhealthy foods.
Fat storage, especially around the belly.

Feeling guilty about taking time for yourself adds to the burnout cycle.
