If you’re in perimenopause and feel anxious, overstimulated, reactive, or like your body can’t fully relax, this episode will connect a lot of dots.

In this episode, we’re talking about the nervous system side of perimenopause — something most women are never taught. Hormone shifts, poor sleep, under-eating protein, dehydration, and chronic stress can push your body into fight-or-flight, even when nothing is “wrong” in your life.

Inside this episode:

• Why perimenopause can feel like anxiety, overwhelm, or irritability

• How hormone changes impact your nervous system and stress response

• Common signs your body is stuck in survival mode

• Why sleep disruption, brain fog, and low motivation are connected

• Simple ways to calm your nervous system without a full life overhaul

• Foundational support that matters most during perimenopause

You’ll learn the real signs of perimenopause, why your labs might look “normal,” and simple ways to start supporting your hormones so you can feel like yourself again.

What we cover: • Early symptoms women miss • Hormone shifts that affect mood, sleep, weight, and energy • Why 2 AM wake-ups are so common • What brain fog really means • How to support your body naturally in this stage
