589: Effective Strategies and Tools to Calm Irritation, Mood Swings and Stress Deregulation Throughout Perimenopause

When I recently surveyed several thousand women in perimenopause about their most disruptive symptoms, what stood out the most was the reported mood issues.  In perimenopause, your brain changes, causing a lack of stress resilience, lack of focus, and a lack of mental energy.  With all that’s on our plates in this stage of life– between careers, parenting, our marriages, and keeping up with our health– declining mental energy is NOT what we need.  If you’re feeling overwhelmed, irritated, or more triggered along with mood changes, it could be due to your changing hormones. So how do you combat these symptoms to feel better… physically AND emotionally?  In this podcast, I’m sharing ALL my tips to help you find peace and harmony because you deserve it.
