Stress is one of the most overlooked drivers of symptoms in perimenopause, and it’s not just about emotional stress.
In this episode, we explore how stress shows up in the body, how it affects ovulation, progesterone, oestrogen, cortisol, and sleep, and why midlife can make you feel more sensitive to stress than ever before.
Because during perimenopause, your body isn’t just dealing with one hormone, it’s navigating an entire hormonal system under pressure.
