Why You’re More Tired in the Summer—And What Your Hormones Have to Do With It

If you’re a woman who’s felt more drained, foggy, or off balance in the summer months—even when you’re sleeping decently and soaking in the sun—you’re not alone. In fact, women may be especially vulnerable to summer fatigue, and the reasons go far beyond just heat and dehydration.

There’s growing research showing that hormonal fluctuations, light exposure, and stress on the body’s internal rhythms can hit women harder due to the natural complexity of the female endocrine system. If you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, or even monthly cycle shifts, summer can magnify the fatigue.

Let’s break down how seasonal changes affect hormones—especially for women—why that leads to exhaustion, and how to support your body naturally and preventatively.

Women’s Hormones Respond Intensely to Light, Heat, and Routine

Your body was designed by God with incredible precision. The endocrine system—which governs hormone production—reacts to external cues like light, temperature, sleep, and nutrition. For women, who already cycle through monthly hormonal patterns, these shifts can be more profound.

1. Melatonin Production May Decline

Women tend to be more sensitive to melatonin disruption, and longer daylight hours in the summer can reduce this vital sleep hormone. Lower melatonin means reduced sleep quality and nighttime restlessness—both of which undermine hormone restoration.

2. Cortisol Patterns Become Unstable

The body’s stress hormone, cortisol, can spike at irregular times when routines are disrupted (think late nights, travel, and irregular eating). Women often juggle more responsibilities, especially in summer months with kids out of school, leading to a wired-but-tired crash cycle.

3. Thyroid and Estrogen Are Vulnerable to Vitamin D Deficiency

Despite abundant sun, vitamin D levels can still dip due to sunscreen use, indoor time, or poor absorption. Low vitamin D affects thyroid function and estrogen balance—both crucial to sustained energy and mental clarity.

4. Dehydration Disrupts Hormone Transport

In hotter months, fluid loss can become a serious disruptor. Hormones like insulin, thyroid hormone, and cortisol require adequate hydration and electrolyte balance to circulate and function properly.

Why Summer Hits Women’s Hormones Harder

In addition to seasonal shifts, women’s hormonal systems are more easily tipped off balance by common summer behaviors:

Late-night meals and blue light exposure (TV, phones)Alcohol and caffeine intake, which stress adrenal glandsBusy travel schedules with poor sleep hygieneSugar-rich snacks and irregular meals disrupting insulinPerimenopause or post-menopause making cortisol and estrogen harder to regulate

This creates a perfect storm for feeling sluggish, overwhelmed, or emotionally “off.”

Signs Your Hormones Might Be Behind Your Fatigue

Women often experience hormonal fatigue as:

Afternoon slumps or crashesRestless sleep (especially around ovulation or PMS)Foggy thinking or short temperStronger cravings for sugar or caffeineMood instability or low motivation

If these symptoms show up during summer, your hormones—not just your schedule—may need support.

How Women Can Naturally Reset Their Energy

Here are gentle, effective ways to restore hormonal harmony and beat summer fatigue:

1. Ground Yourself with a Consistent Morning Routine

Sunlight before 10 a.m. (without sunglasses), hydration, and slow, mindful movement like stretching or prayer walks help reset your circadian rhythm and stabilize cortisol.

2. Support Your Adrenals, Thyroid, and Estrogen Detox

Ashwagandha, rhodiola, and magnesium can help your body handle stress more gracefully. Support estrogen clearance with cruciferous veggies and fiber (Fiber Zone).

3. Replenish Vitamin D and Glutathione

Vitamin D3 supports bone, mood, and hormone balance—especially important for women over 40. Glutathione boosters like NAC or liposomal glutathione can assist in detox and protect hormone receptors.

4. Eat Like Your Hormones MatterPrioritize clean protein at each meal (chicken, fish, grass-fed beef)Use healthy fats (avocado, olive oil, coconut)Add cruciferous greens (broccoli, Brussels sprouts)Include seeds and fiber to regulate estrogen and progesterone5. Focus on Restorative Sleep and Gentle Exercise

Avoid overtraining in the heat. Walking, light resistance training, or Pilates paired with solid sleep hygiene can restore your energy without taxing your adrenals.

A Quick Note on Faith and Fatigue

As women, we often carry a lot—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. But God never designed us to power through in our own strength.

“Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

Rest is not weakness—it’s a divine rhythm for restoration. Honor the signals your body gives you. Support your hormones as part of stewarding the temple God entrusted to you.

Final Thoughts

Before you go—if you’re interested in learning more about how hormones impact energy, beauty, mood, and aging, I encourage you to check out my recent podcast with Mary:

Unlocking the Power of Hormones for Longevity: Estrogen, Progesterone & Vital Insights – Part 1

In this episode, we go deeper into hormonal health, longevity, and how to advocate for your well-being with confidence. It’s a valuable listen for every woman over 40.

Summer fatigue doesn’t have to define your days. When you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface—and align your habits with how God designed your body—you can feel vibrant and grounded, even during the busiest season of the year.

To your health,

Dr. Don Colbert, MD

Traveling This Summer? 7 Healthy Habits for Christian Families on the Go

Summer is a time for family vacations, road trips, and getting out into God’s beautiful creation. But for many families, travel also means fast food, poor sleep, stressed-out schedules, and catching unwanted bugs along the way.

I want to share 7 powerful habits you can practice while traveling that not only protect your physical health but also nourish your spiritual well-being. As believers, we’re called to honor God with our bodies and our choices—and that doesn’t stop just because you’re on vacation.

Let’s look at some simple yet strategic habits to help you and your family stay healthy, energized, and connected with God during your travels.

1. Pray Before You Go

This might sound simple, but many families forget to spiritually prepare for travel. Just like you plan your itinerary, plan your mindset and invite God into the trip.

“In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:6

Pray together before leaving. Ask for protection, peace, and purpose in your time away. This centers your trip on something greater than relaxation—it aligns it with God’s purpose for your family.

2. Pack (and Snack) with Intention

Most people overeat junk food when traveling because they didn’t prepare. High-sugar and processed snacks can lead to gut issues, fatigue, and poor mood—especially for kids.

Pack healthy, travel-friendly options:

Grass-fed beef sticksRaw nuts and seedsLow-sugar protein barsFreeze-dried fruits or veggiesDivine Health’s MCT Oil Powder for energy and focus

Bonus: Bring Fiber Zone to support digestion and keep everyone regular while on the road.

3. Keep a Spiritual Rhythm

Don’t let vacation be a break from God. Keep your family’s spiritual rhythm, even if it’s shorter or simplified. You might:

Do a quick devotional over breakfastListen to audio Scripture or worship music while drivingShare one thing you’re thankful for each day

It’s not about being perfect; it’s about staying connected.

4. Stay Hydrated, Especially in the Heat

Dehydration is one of the most overlooked reasons people feel tired, anxious, or irritable during travel.

Carry refillable bottles and consider adding electrolytes (especially in hot or high-altitude destinations). Avoid sugary drinks that dehydrate.

Filtered water + sea salt + lemon = a simple homemade electrolyte boost.

5. Support Your Immune System

Planes, gas stations, restaurants, and hotels expose your family to more pathogens. While you can’t avoid germs, you can support your immune defenses.

Travel with:

ZincVitamin D3 (especially if you’re not getting daily sun)A glutathione booster like NAC or liposomal glutathione to support cellular detox and antioxidant defenses Zone Biotics Probiotic for gut healthA greens powder rich in antioxidants, like Green Supremefood, to help bridge the nutritional gaps on the road

These simple additions can help your body stay resilient under the stress of travel.

6. Move Often & Rest Well

Sitting in a car or plane for hours isn’t great for your circulation or digestion. Build in stretch breaks, walking time, and playful movement wherever you can.

At night, create a simple routine to wind down: turn off screens, dim the lights, stretch, and pray together. Sleep is when your body detoxes, recovers, and resets.

7. Choose Purpose Over Perfection

Some days won’t go according to plan. You’ll forget something. A child will get cranky. That’s okay.

The goal isn’t perfection—it’s purpose. Let your health and faith choices reflect that.

“Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” — 1 Corinthians 10:31

By anchoring your travel in healthy habits and God-honoring priorities, you help your family stay grounded and joyful.

🧳 Dr. Colbert’s Travel Essentials

These are the must-haves I pack every time I travel:

Fiber Zone Zone Biotics Probiotic MCT Oil PowderNano-Glutathione or NACVitamin D3Green SupremefoodQuality supplements pouch + filtered water bottle

You don’t have to bring your whole pantry—just the right tools to keep your energy, digestion, and immune system strong.

Final Thoughts

Family travel can be a blessing or a burden depending on how you approach it.

By combining practical health strategies with a spiritual mindset, you can transform even a short trip into something meaningful and restorative. Your family will come back not just with memories, but with better health and a deeper sense of connection—to each other, and to God.

To your health,

Dr. Don Colbert, MD

Summer Brain Fog? It Could Be Your Gut — Here’s What Scripture & Science Say About It

If you find yourself feeling mentally sluggish during the summer months—struggling with memory, focus, or motivation—you’re not alone. Many of my patients describe what they call “summer brain fog.” And while you might blame it on the heat or disrupted routines, there’s often a deeper root: your gut.

In this article, I want to unpack the fascinating link between gut health and brain function, and why healing your gut might be the most effective way to sharpen your mind—especially this time of year. We’ll also look at what science has to say, and how Scripture reinforces the importance of caring for our bodies with wisdom and intentionality.

The Gut-Brain Connection: More Than a Feeling

The gut and brain are connected by a complex network of nerves, biochemicals, and messenger systems known as the gut-brain axis. This communication highway allows your digestive system to send and receive signals to and from your brain—often influencing mood, focus, memory, and even sleep.

Here’s what we know from science:

The gut produces over 90% of the body’s serotonin, a neurotransmitter crucial for mood regulation.An imbalance in the gut microbiome—such as an overgrowth of bad bacteria or yeast—can trigger inflammation, which can cross the blood-brain barrier and contribute to brain fog, anxiety, and fatigue.Studies show that gut dysbiosis (imbalanced bacteria) is associated with cognitive decline and poor memory.

When the gut is struggling, the brain often suffers quietly until symptoms like fatigue, poor concentration, or forgetfulness emerge.

Why Summer Makes It Worse

There are several seasonal habits that may quietly sabotage gut health during the summer:

1. Processed Summer Treats
Ice cream, BBQ sauces loaded with sugar, soda, and artificial dyes—these common indulgences can feed harmful gut bacteria and promote systemic inflammation.

2. Travel & Disruption of Routine
Whether it’s international travel or a simple road trip, your digestion can be thrown off by irregular meals, different water sources, or unfamiliar foods.

3. Alcohol & Dehydration
Increased alcohol intake and reduced hydration in the heat can irritate the gut lining and impair healthy digestion.

4. Sleep Disturbance
Longer days and more activity can interfere with restful sleep, which your gut (and brain) need for repair and detox.

What You Can Do to Restore Clarity

If you want to reclaim your mental edge this summer, healing your gut is an excellent place to start. Here are a few simple yet powerful steps:

1. Cut the Sugar and Processed Foods

Sugar feeds the wrong bacteria. Swap sugary snacks for high-fiber fruits like berries, which also support digestion and reduce inflammation.

2. Rebuild with Probiotics and Fiber

Adding a quality probiotic and a soluble fiber supplement helps repopulate good bacteria and keep your gut regular. I often recommend Zone Biotics Probiotic and Fiber Zone from Divine Health.

3. Consider Advanced Gut Support

For those needing more comprehensive care, Biotic Zone Probiotic is an advanced formula that combines powerful probiotics and prebiotics to promote digestive balance, reduce bloating, and support brain-gut communication.

4. Support the Gut Lining

L-glutamine, aloe vera, and collagen can help repair a leaky gut. You can find these in many gut repair powders or take them separately. Explore our detox and cleanse supplements for comprehensive support.

5. Hydrate Intentionally

Drink filtered water consistently throughout the day. Add sea salt or electrolytes to help absorption, especially if you’re sweating more than usual.

6. Focus on Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Include foods like leafy greens, turmeric, wild salmon, and extra virgin olive oil. These nourish the brain and gut while reducing inflammation.

Gut-Healing Foods That Also Fuel Mental Clarity

Your food choices play a pivotal role in gut health—and by extension, brain function. Here are some of the best whole foods to incorporate into your daily routine:

1. Fermented Foods
Kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir, and unsweetened yogurt are rich in probiotics that help replenish good bacteria in your gut.

2. Prebiotic-Rich Foods
Foods like garlic, onions, leeks, asparagus, and green bananas feed the good bacteria and support a thriving microbiome.

3. Omega-3 Rich Foods
Wild-caught salmon, sardines, flaxseeds, and chia seeds help reduce inflammation and support the brain-gut connection.

4. Polyphenol-Packed Plants
Blueberries, pomegranate, spinach, and dark chocolate (70%+ cacao) provide antioxidants that protect both the brain and gut lining.

5. Bone Broth
Loaded with collagen and amino acids like glutamine, bone broth helps seal and heal the gut lining.

6. Clean Proteins
Organic pasture-raised poultry, wild-caught fish, and grass-fed beef provide essential nutrients for cellular repair and neurotransmitter production.

These foods are a foundational part of the preventative and holistic approach I recommend—and they nourish more than just your body. They create the internal environment needed for peace, energy, and mental clarity.

What Scripture Reminds Us About the Body

Scripture reminds us that our bodies are a gift from God, and we are called to steward them well:

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?” — 1 Corinthians 6:19

Caring for your body—including your gut—isn’t just about physical health. It’s about clarity, energy, and the ability to serve others and fulfill your purpose with excellence.

Sometimes the greatest clarity doesn’t come from another coffee or pushing through fatigue. It comes from healing the internal systems God designed to work together in harmony.

Final Thoughts

Summer brain fog isn’t something you have to live with or push through. By supporting your gut, you support your brain—and ultimately your quality of life.

From a scientific perspective, gut health is one of the most powerful levers for cognitive and emotional wellness. And from a spiritual perspective, it’s a meaningful way to honor the temple God entrusted to us.

Until next time, stay sharp, stay healthy, and stay grounded in grace.

To your health,

Dr. Don Colbert, MD
