In today's episode, we discover the overlap of symptoms between perimenopause and elevated cortisol and help you uncover the steps to take to reverse these pesky symptoms.

Common symptoms of both perimenopause and elevated cortisol:

• Weight Gain (especially in your midsection)
• Menstrual changes
• Increased cellulite
• Changes in gut health
• Accumulating belly fat
• Skin changes like itching, hives, or thinning
• Deteriorating energy levels
• Disrupted sleep patterns
• Waning patience
• And yes, the well-known hot flashes and low libido associated with menopause

Many women are misdiagnosed with anxiety disorders and prescribed antidepressants when the real issue might be hormonal imbalances. It's crucial to understand that minerals govern hormones, and during stressful times, your body loses minerals faster than before, including essential B vitamins.

So, what can you do to manage these changes and support your body's needs?

1. Get Your Bloodwork Tested: Identify any deficiencies or imbalances.
2. Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis: Gain insights into your mineral levels.
3. Replenish Through Food and Supplements: Log your food intake to see what minerals you’re getting and identify gaps. Then, begin to replenish nutrients either through diet or supplements.

Join us as we explore these strategies in depth and provide practical tips to help you navigate this challenging but manageable phase of life.

Understanding your body's needs is the first step toward reclaiming your health and vitality.
