Question:

My doctor said I am going through menopause. Do I need a supplement to get through this? I feel really tired after I eat lunch and when I am driving home from work. I feel really run down once I get home. I need a cup of coffee just to keep me going I was never much of a coffee drinker until the last couple of years. I am 44.

Answer:

You will want to ensure that you are eating a well-balanced diet, which includes sufficient calcium and vitamin D. You should also minimize alcohol and caffeine – try decaf? If you smoke, quit. Finally, assess how well you’re sleeping. Hot flashes and night sweats can degrade sleep quality, leading to fatigue.
