Ep. 84 | Perimenopause Fatigue: How to Finally Calm the Chaos in Your Body
Some days you're frozen. Can't make a decision. Can't get off the couch. Can't even figure out what to eat for dinner.
Other days you're wired. Snapping at everyone. Heart racing. Mind spinning. Completely on edge.
But calm? Rested? That doesn't seem to exist anymore.
This isn't normal tired. This is a kind of fatigue that sleep can't touch — because it's not a sleep problem. Your body is stuck cycling between shutdown and overdrive, and until it comes out of that loop, nothing you do is going to feel like it's working.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
Why perimenopause and menopause fatigue isn't just "being tired" — and what's actually happening inside your body when it cycles between frozen and on edge
The difference between freeze mode and full burnout — they're both stress responses, but they need different support
Why this kind of fatigue gets worse the harder you push — and why rest alone doesn't fix it either
How your Response Capacity gets drained by everyday things like broken sleep, under-eating, and years of running on stress — until your body stops adapting and starts protecting
The 3-phase approach — Regulate, Rebuild, Reinforce — and why calming the chaos has to come first before anything else works
You don't need to do more. You don't need another protocol. You need your body to feel safe enough to actually use the support you're giving it.
That's not a mindset shift. It's a biological one. And it changes everything.
This episode is for you if: You're a woman over 40 in perimenopause who's exhausted in a way she can't explain — sometimes frozen, sometimes wired, never okay. You've been doing "everything right" with nothing to show for it, and you're ready to finally understand why.
