Burnout and perimenopause share confusingly similar symptoms, making it difficult to know which condition you're experiencing. In today's episode I explore the overlap, key differences, and practical solutions to help you feel like yourself again plus I share my personal experience with burnout and peri.
• Burnout involves physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by chronic stress
• Long-term stress elevates cortisol, which can disrupt hormones and mimic perimenopause symptoms
• Perimenopause typically begins in late 30s or 40s with progesterone declining and oestrogen fluctuating
• Common overlapping symptoms include fatigue, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and brain fog
• Perimenopause is more likely if your menstrual cycle is changing in length, flow, or regularity
• Solutions that benefit both conditions include balancing blood sugar, restoring sleep patterns, and magnesium supplementation
• Saying no and reducing commitments is not laziness—it's essential for healing
• Specific herbs like ashwagandha (withania), rhodiola, and passionflower can support both stress and hormonal balance
