Irene Fernández, specialist in women's health: "We shouldn't dismiss fatigue with a 'that's just how it is'"
Many women experience chronic fatigue, often normalized as part of a busy life. Irene Fernández emphasizes the importance of recognizing fatigue as a symptom rather than an accepted state. Factors like sleep quality, mental load, and hormonal changes contribute to this exhaustion. She advocates for understanding individual experiences and stresses the need for self-care and awareness of one's body. The conversation around menopause is evolving, but misconceptions persist. Women are encouraged to adopt healthy habits in their 40s to prepare for the future, focusing on strength training and self-awareness. Aging should be viewed positively, as it does not inherently diminish quality of life.
