In this episode, we explore why stress feels so much more intense in perimenopause and what your hormones, brain, and nervous system have to do with it.
You’ll learn about the HPA axis (your body’s internal stress system), how it's affected by erratic oestrogen and declining progesterone, and why supporting it is essential for hormone balance and long-term wellbeing.
We also dive into how stress impacts your ability to make DHEA, testosterone, oestrogen, and progesterone, especially post-menopause, and how everyday habits like blood sugar regulation, sleep, nervous system support, and even adaptogens can make a big difference.
