We’re all stressed. Life gets in the way and we can easily get overwhelmed by our obligations. But as we get older, that stress seems to come more intensely and more frequently than before. In this episode, Jennifer explains how stress effects our lives and the way our body’s response to it changes during perimenopause and postmenopause. For women over 40, hormonal changes during menopause can intensify stress and anxiety and the physiological changes, including the decrease in estrogen and progesterone, greatly impacts your stress management. Jennifer shares science-based strategies to manage stress effectively, including nutrition tips, the benefits of adaptogens, physical activity recommendations, mindfulness practices, and the importance of a supportive community. You will become empowered with practical solutions to navigate stress, build resilience, and maintain your well-being.
