94 | Why You're Always Tired as a Mom: 4 Root Causes of Fatigue That Have Nothing to Do With Sleep

Are you exhausted no matter how much sleep you get? You're not imagining it, and it's not your fault.

If you're a postpartum mom, busy working momma, or an active woman who is doing all the things and still running on empty, this episode is for you. Sports dietitian, strength coach, and postpartum wellness expert, Val Warner, breaks down the 4 root causes of mom fatigue that most doctors completely miss, and none of them are "just sleep more."

Using a functional medicine lens, Val explains exactly why so many moms feel exhausted even with decent sleep, why standard lab panels miss key depletions, and what you can start doing this week to actually get your energy back.
