If you're feeling anxious, exhausted, gaining weight, and like nothing is working anymore, this episode is for you. These symptoms aren't just about hormones; they're often signs of a dysregulated nervous system. In this episode, Functional Health & Integrative Nutrition Coach Claudia Petrilli, breaks down how your nervous system impacts hormones, metabolism, sleep, mood, and more during perimenopause.

You'll learn why so many women over 40 feel stuck in survival mode and what you can start doing right now to calm your nervous system, reclaim your energy, and feel like yourself again.

In this episode, we cover:

Why your nervous system matters more than ever in midlife
How chronic stress affects cortisol, thyroid, estrogen, and progesterone
Why feeling "tired but wired" is a sign your body is stuck in fight-or-flight
How trauma wires your system for stress
What a healthy cortisol rhythm should look like (and how to support it)
5 simple ways to regulate your nervous system today
