Listen "Ep 24: The Progesterone–Cortisol Steal — How Stress Is Hijacking Your Hormones"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we break down a concept most women have never heard of—but absolutely need to understand: how stress (and the cortisol that comes with it) can literally steal your progesterone, especially in perimenopause when you don’t have much to spare.With the holidays approaching and stress levels rising, we’re diving into why nervous system regulation is the true foundation of hormone balance… and why you can’t out-supplement, out-diet, or out-exercise chronic stress.If you’ve been feeling more anxious, overwhelmed, or unlike yourself during perimenopause, this episode explains exactly why—and what you can do to rebuild safety, resilience, and hormone harmony.Your body doesn’t need perfect. It needs peace.Where to find us:IG @whatsmyageagain.podcast  / FB - What’s My Age Again Podcast Email us at:  [email protected] to find Tanya:IG @tlcholistic / FB @tlcholistic   https://www.tlcholistic.ca/Book with Tanya:  https://tlcholistic.janeapp.com/locations/tlc-holisticJoin the TLC Community: https://www.patreon.com/tlcholisticWhere to find Kim:IG @kimdesmarais.nutrition /FB @KimDesmaraishttps://www.kimdesmarais.com/Book with Kim:  Complimentary Connect Call
