“Stress management” can be such an elusive term. What does it actually mean? Why is it important to “manage stress”?

Chronic stress and a dysregulated nervous system (resulting from chronic stress and or previous big or little traumas) can (or DOES!) create a lot of hormonal havoc and dysregulation in other systems in the body.

Some of the common symptoms in perimenopause – such as low mood, brain fog, headaches, low energy, poor sleep, blood sugar imbalances, heavy, painful periods, more PMS, increased fat around the middle, and even high cholesterol and underactive thyroid – can be a direct result of chronic unmanaged stress, or at least be significantly driven by it.

And so it’s important that we start to understand “chronic stress” and “nervous system support” better, as well as know what we can do to support it.

In this episode, I discuss:

• Recap of what “chronic stress”, “nervous system dysregulation”, and “nervous system support” actually means
• Your HPA-axis (stress system in the body)
• Examples of modern day stressors you not be aware of and realise are impacting you
• Simple daily tools you can start to implement to support your body and mind cope better with stress and minimise a LOT of the impact of perimenopause!

I hope you enjoy and learn something new and helpful! 🙂
