What’s Really Going On with Estrogen, Progesterone & Cortisol

If you’ve been feeling like your energy has tanked, your mood is unpredictable, or your metabolism has hit a wall… you’re not alone. So many women in midlife feel this way and are told it’s “just aging” or “normal hormones.”

But here’s the truth — it’s not just age. It’s about what’s happening under the surface with your hormones — specifically estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol.

So in today’s episode, we’re unpacking:

• What’s really going on with those three key hormones,
  

• How those shifts show up in your mood, weight, and energy, and
  

• What you can do right now to bring your body back into balance.

Today’s episode is titled Burnout in Your 40s: Why Eating Less and Moving More Isn’t the Answer.

Have you been lead to believe that the reason you’re gaining weight, feeling exhausted, or not fitting in your jeans anymore is because you need to eat less and move more?

Yep. Me too. We were all taught this, and for a while, it might have even worked. I know it did for me but then 40 hit and it actually started to backfire.

Listen in and learn ways to change this mentality and take back your health once and for all.
