... is to manage your stress levels.
WHY?
Because cortisol [one of your main stress hormones] is extremely damaging.
It:
☠️ speeds up the ageing process
☠️ damages your brain
☠️ disrupts your memory
☠️ interrupts your sleep
☠️ breaks down elastin and collagen
☠️ raises blood sugar so you gain weight
☠️ makes you feel anxious
HOW?
In menopause the production of oestrogen shifts from your ovaries to your adrenal glands. If you're stressed and these glands are busy pumping out cortisol they just won't be able to make oestrogen too.
This makes every simple menopausal symptom worse…. brain fog, mood swings, hot flushes, anxiety, poor sleep and weight gain…
Learning how to effectively manage your stress levels is vital to feeling better and getting back to feeling normal again in menopause.
Relaxation and meditation techniques can help, as can a healthy diet, prioritising sleep and doing the right kind of exercise for this life stage.
