About 15% to 50% of perimenopausal women may experience anxiety, often accompanied by depression, insomnia, and forgetfulness.

In fact, anxiety is one of the main symptoms women reach out to me about.

But unfortunately, a lot of healthcare providers aren't addressing the underlying imbalances associated with anxiety, besides thoughts, mindset, and/or trauma. And of course these things should be addressed, but there's more to the story...

 

In this episode, we covered:

• Anxiety in perimenopause 
• Hormone changes that cause anxiety
• Why progesterone is your best friend
• What to know about copper
• Vital food & lifestyle changes to make 
• Some supplements to consider
