Hormones Series Ep 4: Insulin & Cortisol

In this episode, we’re diving into how insulin and cortisol shape how you feel during perimenopause and menopause. I’ll break down what’s happening behind the scenes, why your body may feel different, and how these shifts in insulin and cortisol can influence your energy, mood, sleep, and overall well-being.

We’ll also talk about simple, realistic ways to support your body through this transition—especially when it comes to balancing stress, steadying your system, and building habits that help you feel more grounded and rested during perimenopause and menopause.
