The Well Drop: Midlife Wellness for Women Over 40

118. 3 Habits To Upgrade Right Now In Perimenopause


Listen Later

Energy crashes, broken sleep, and brain fog often show up long before anything looks “wrong” on paper. When that happens, women are left pushing harder instead of realizing that everyday habits may be sending the wrong signals to the body.

We dive deeper into this topic in the latest The Well Drop episode. We also talk about why morning light matters more than people realize, what waking between 2 and 3 a.m. can tell you about blood sugar and sleep, and how having your phone in the bedroom affects your ability to truly downshift at night.

If your sleep feels off, your energy feels inconsistent, or your body just isn’t responding the way it used to, this episode will help you understand where to start. It’s for women who want clear direction instead of more guesswork.

What’s Discussed:

(01:02) Why energy and mood shifts are often the earliest signs of perimenopause

(08:19) Why morning light matters more than supplements for daily energy

(10:54) The unexpected impact of wearing sunglasses early in the day

(15:01) How phones in the bedroom keep the nervous system in a heightened state

(17:05) What waking between 2–3 a.m. can signal about blood sugar and sleep quality

(19:53) Why insulin resistance drives inflammation long before it appears on labs

(25:40) The three foundational habits that support energy, sleep, and hormone resilience
