70. Why You’re Anxious in Perimenopause & What to Do About It
Don’t Miss An Episode!
About 15% to 50% of perimenopausal women may experience anxiety, often accompanied by depression, insomnia, and forgetfulness.
In fact, anxiety is one of the main symptoms women reach out to me about.
But unfortunately, a lot of healthcare providers aren’t addressing the underlying imbalances associated with anxiety, besides thoughts, mindset, and/or trauma. And of course these things should be addressed, but there’s more to the story…
In this episode, we covered:
- Anxiety in perimenopause
- Hormone changes that cause anxiety
- Why progesterone is your best friend
- What to know about copper
- Vital food & lifestyle changes to make
- Some supplements to consider
