Is your stress making your perimenopause symptoms worse? Could simple changes help you feel better and regain balance during midlife?

In this fascinating episode, Cheryl is joined by Marjorie Nass, a yoga teacher, Ayurveda expert, and creator of the Pericycle Lift program. Together, they explore the powerful connection between stress, menopause, and overall health—and share practical tools to help you calm your body, ease symptoms, and thrive through midlife.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• How chronic stress worsens perimenopause symptoms like hot flashes, sleep issues, and weight gain,
• Why managing your stress response is just as important as nutrition and exercise,
• The key differences between the "fight or flight" and "rest and digest" states—and how to shift into calm, and
• A quick breathing exercise you can use anywhere to reduce stress in under a minute.

🎯 OMG Moment: Even the healthiest foods can’t nourish your body if you’re eating in a stressed state.
