In this episode I discuss all of the hormonal shifts taking place we move through perimenopause, and how that impacts our entire physiology - including changes to how we process carbohydrates and manage blood glucose levels, changes to your stress hormones, thyroid hormones, DHEA, and testosterone...there’s a lot that’s shifting. And all of these hormones have an impact on things like energy, mood, sleep, and weight.
We mustn't only blame or focus on oestrogen and progesterone - that would be missing a lot of big tricks when it comes to symptoms relief and management.
