When stress is high, certain habits (and foods) can leave you feeling even more drained.
Here are 4 things that can deplete your energy and make stress feel harder to manage:
• Skipping meals → leads to blood sugar crashes and increased cortisol
• Excess sugar → causes quick spikes followed by energy dips
• Too much caffeine → overstimulates your nervous system
• Low protein intake → makes it harder to stay full and energized
The goal isn’t to be perfect—it’s to become more aware of what supports your body and what doesn’t.
Small, consistent changes can help you feel more steady, supported, and energized 🤍
