I’m busy at work and at home with three teenage children. I find I’m tired all the time, even after a good night’s sleep. I’ve started eating more protein — fish and pulses — which seems to help, but by lunchtime most days, all I want to do is crawl into bed. My periods stopped two years ago, so I’m over the worst of menopause. What can I do?

It is good that you have already discovered dietary tweaks to help with your energy levels, but it sounds like you still have a way to go before you are feeling like yourself again. The workload at both your job and at home will no doubt be emotionally and mentally taxing, which can trigger physical fatigue and even cause the immune system to function below par.
