We’ve all been there: mid-morning or afternoon hits and you’re dragging.
The first instinct? More coffee.
But what if your body’s asking for something else?

Caffeine gives a quick spike, but it doesn’t fix the root of low energy—and too much can actually make things worse (think jitters, crashes, and poor sleep).

Try these simple energy boosts first:

1.  Hydrate!
   Even mild dehydration causes fatigue. Drink a tall glass of water and wait 10 minutes—you might feel a noticeable lift.
2.  Get moving
   Stand up. Stretch. Walk for 5 minutes. Movement boosts circulation and oxygen to the brain—hello, alertness! 
3.  Check your fuel
   Are you running on empty? If it's been 3+ hours since your last meal or snack, your body might just need balanced fuel—try something with protein + fiber.

Try this today:
Before pouring another cup of coffee, try water, movement, or a small protein-rich snack.
Then check in: What does my body actually need right now?

Little tweaks = better energy without the crash.  You’ve got this.
