Perimenopause and menopause have rightly become much more visible topics in women’s health over the last few years. There’s now far more awareness around common symptoms and how women can be supported during this transition.

But there’s one crucial piece that often gets overlooked.

As hormones begin to change during perimenopause, the body becomes far less tolerant to stress — physical, emotional, and mental. This shift has a significant impact on how women feel day to day, and on how manageable this stage of life becomes.

In this episode, I explain why looking after yourself well becomes even more important as your hormones change. I also share what actually makes the biggest difference when it comes to protecting your energy, mood, sleep, and overall wellbeing during this phase of life.

In this episode, we cover:

1. Why stress tolerance drops during perimenopause
2. The everyday habits that place hidden stress on the body
3. Why symptoms like poor sleep, anxiety, hot flushes, and weight gain can intensify
4. The importance of simple, foundational wellbeing habits
