Description

Are your “natural” stress supplements secretly stressing you out?

In this episode of The Perimenopause Reset Podcast, Miriam Faggett, functional nutritionist and founder of Nourish & Flow, breaks down the misunderstood world of adaptogens — and why they don’t always play nicely with shifting midlife hormones.

You’ll learn:

🌿 What adaptogens like ashwagandha, rhodiola, and licorice root really do inside your body

🧠 Why cortisol, estrogen, and thyroid changes in perimenopause can turn helpful herbs into hidden stressors

⚖️ How to use adaptogens safely (and when to skip them altogether)

✨ The simple rhythm-based framework to restore calm, energy, and hormone balance — without guesswork

This conversation blends real science, relatable stories, and functional nutrition insight to help you understand your body’s unique rhythm — not fight against it.
