Episode 9: Why Your Body Feels Different: Understanding Hormones, Stress & Metabolism in Perimenopause
Update: 2025-08-06
Description
Are you feeling frustrated with stubborn weight gain, cravings, fatigue, or mood swings—even though you’re “doing all the right things”? You’re not alone.
In this first part of my conversation with Dawn Strength, certified integrative nutrition health coach, we unpack what’s really happening in perimenopause and beyond, including:
- How estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone shift over time
- What cortisol really does to your body under stress
- How insulin resistance affects your metabolism and fat storage
- Why the same workouts and diets no longer give the same results
Your body isn’t working against you—it’s just asking for a new kind of support. Start here to understand the why behind the changes you’re feeling, and in Episode 10 which releases August 13, we’ll dive into the how to feel better again.
