101. High Cortisol After 40: Busting Myths & What You Really Need to Focus On

In this episode of Perimenopause Simplified, we're diving deep into cortisol, the stress hormone that plays a significant role in our health, especially for women over 40.

If you've been feeling exhausted, anxious, or wired at night, it's time to understand what might be going on with your cortisol levels.

Cortisol can become dysregulated during perimenopause, making stress management even more crucial, as your body's hormonal landscape shifts. Tune in to learn how to support your cortisol, manage stress, and feel your best during this transitional phase of life.

What's covered in this episode:

What cortisol is and why it's essential for your survival
How chronic stress and hormone fluctuations in perimenopause can disrupt cortisol
Why cortisol testing may not give you the full picture and the symptoms to recognize
The impact of poor sleep, blood sugar imbalance, and stress on your cortisol levels
Simple, actionable tips to support your nervous system and optimize circadian rhythm
Why trauma and feeling unsafe in your body can cause cortisol issues and how to heal
