How to Fix the 3PM Crash (The Midlifesy Way)
1. Eat 30–40g of protein within 1–2 hours of waking.
This stabilizes blood sugar all day long.
2. Anchor meals with protein + fiber + healthy fats.
No more carb-only breakfasts.
3. Reduce caffeine before breakfast.
It spikes cortisol and worsens the crash.
4. Add a 10-minute walk after meals.
This improves glucose control by up to 30%.
5. Strength train 2–3 times per week.
Muscle = stable metabolism.
6. Evaluate hormone balance and thyroid function.
Midlife symptoms rarely happen in isolation.
7. Improve sleep routines (and treat sleep-disrupting hormones).
Labs That Identify the Root Cause
In my practice, I evaluate:
fasting insulin
A1C
cortisol patterns
estradiol & progesterone
testosterone & DHEA
thyroid panel
CRP & inflammatory markers
vitamin D
glucose patterns (CGM if needed)
A 3PM crash is a metabolic clue — not a character flaw.
