When You’re Exhausted, Foggy & Not Getting Answers

If you’re tired, foggy, overwhelmed and feel like “something’s off” — but every GP visit says you’re fine — this episode will feel like a breath out. Dr Adrian Clegg joins us to unpack why so many women in midlife aren’t getting the answers they need, and what’s actually going on underneath the fatigue, dizziness and brain fog.

In this episode we cover:

• The real reasons midlife women feel exhausted and foggy
• Why so many symptoms get labelled as “stress” or “anxiety”
• How the upper neck (the atlas) can affect dizziness, migraines and energy
• The simple tests that finally give clarity:
• Hormone testing to see what’s really happening with energy and sleep
• Gut testing to uncover what might be draining your system
• A nutritional profile to check for common deficiencies causing fogginess

Key insights:

• Feeling awful isn’t something you have to tolerate — it’s a sign your body needs support.
• Brain fog, overwhelm and fatigue come from real, fixable causes.
• You’re not stuck — you just need a deeper look than standard bloods provide.

Mentioned in this episode:

• My Meniere’s journey and why upper cervical care changed everything
• The connection between hormones, gut health and energy
• Why women in their 40s–60s need a personalised approach, not a prescription pad
