In this episode of Midlife and Glowing, sisters Alicia and Nicole discuss the impact of stress on hormone health during perimenopause. They explain how hormone shifts make women more susceptible to stress and its physical manifestations. The duo delves into the roles of cortisol and the autonomic nervous system, the importance of activating the parasympathetic 'rest and digest' mode, and practical daily strategies for stress management. They emphasize the significance of prioritizing joy, sleep, and self-care while addressing lifestyle choices like caffeine and alcohol consumption. Upcoming topics include nutritional needs during perimenopause.
