I’m revisiting one of the most downloaded episodes of the podcast. Stress and cortisol remain a huge issue for many women in perimenopause, so I wanted to bring this conversation back for newer listeners who may have missed it the first time around.

Are you feeling more stressed out since being in your 40s?

Does it feel like some thing has just suddenly shifted and now you’re feeling more anxious, easily irritated, less tolerant, less focused, and feeling like your cortisol is really high?

Maybe you’re also noticing physical symptoms like “puffiness” in your legs, face, or hands..

You can’t seem to sleep well anymore and you’re feeling tired but wired at night. And when you do fall asleep, you wake up multiple times in the night..

If any of this sounds familiar, please know that you’re not alone!

In this episode, I talk about:

• Common symptoms associated with high cortisol
• WHY we commonly start to experience a shift in cortisol levels in our 40s/perimenopause
• WHY we feel more stressed in our 40s and need to support our nervous system now more than ever
• Key factors that influence cortisol imbalances
• Practical ways to support it and feel better
• Low cortisol and how to identify it
