Ep. 120 | Why Your Body Fights Every Perimenopause 'Fix' You Try
If you've been eating clean, taking supplements, exercising, and maybe even on HRT — but your body still isn't responding — this episode will show you why.
The problem isn't that the advice is wrong. It's that most approaches skip the foundational step that makes everything else work: nervous system regulation.
When your body is stuck in protection mode (dysregulated nervous system), it doesn't matter how healthy your meals are or what supplements you take. Your body is too busy trying to survive to actually respond.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why your body fights perimenopause solutions even when they're "good" advice
What nervous system dysregulation actually means (and why it's keeping you stuck)
The real reason you're exhausted, bloated, and gaining weight despite doing everything "right"
5 simple shifts you can start today to signal safety to your body
A real client example of what happens when you address the nervous system first
This is the missing piece that changes everything — and it's the foundation I teach in my free workshop, "It's Not Just Hormones! Why Nothing's Working in Perimenopause."
Key Takeaways:
Your body isn't broken — it's protecting you
Nervous system regulation must come before hormones, metabolism, or meal plans
Simple daily practices like eating breakfast within an hour of waking, adding minerals before coffee, and creating consistent sleep times signal safety to your body
When your body feels safe, everything else (energy, mood, digestion, hormone response) starts working again
