The Ali Damron Show

Are you struggling with mood swings, anxiety, weight gain, sleep issues, or other frustrating perimenopause symptoms?

It's not just your hormones—your nervous system plays a crucial role in how your body responds through this timeframe.

In this episode, I dive into why a dysregulated nervous system makes every perimenopause symptom worse and reveal the sneaky habits (like scrolling, emotional eating, and overthinking) that secretly keep you stuck in stress mode.

Plus, I'll share how to start shifting your body out of survival mode so you can feel calmer, more balanced, and in control of your health.

I've struggled with anxiety for as long as I can remember. For decades, I thought it was just something I had to live with—managing it through medication, therapy, and endless coping strategies. But nothing truly healed it.

In this episode, I share my personal journey with anxiety and the life-changing discovery that changed everything: understanding the nervous system and how to calm it down.

Anxiety isn't a permanent condition or a chemical imbalance—it's a symptom of a dysregulated nervous system that has been stuck in high alert for too long.

I dive into:

• Why traditional approaches to anxiety often don't work
• What nervous system regulation really means (and what it's not)
• How chronic anxiety impacts parenting and how to break the cycle for yourself and your kids
• Practical steps to start calming your nervous system and rewiring your brain for safety

If you've been searching for answers and feel like nothing has worked, I want you to know—healing is possible. No matter how long you've struggled, you can heal.

We often think healing means finding ways to feel better as quickly as possible—but that's the least helpful thing for true healing.

In this episode, we explore why learning to sit with discomfort is one of the most powerful tools for emotional and nervous system regulation. Avoiding pain keeps you stuck in survival mode, while facing it head-on helps rewire your brain for safety, resilience, and the reduction of chronic pain, hormonal imbalances, inflammation, emotional health, anxiety and so much more!

Tune in to discover how expanding your capacity for discomfort can help facilitate growth, healing, and a deeper sense of self-trust.

Every coach and influencer is saying the same thing about how to lose fat and build muscle in perimenopause—but what if there's more to the story? They say lift heavy, eat protein, sleep and manage stress, but you're doing that and not seeing results.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the nuance of strength training that no one is talking about.

You'll learn: ✔ What "lift heavy" actually means and how to know if you're strength training correctly. ✔ The biggest mistakes most women make in the gym ✔ How stress, inflammation, and overtraining can sabotage your progress ✔ The concept of "stress math" to avoid cortisol being a downfall in your progress ✔ Why strength training in perimenopause requires a different approach than what's typically recommended

If you're tired of hearing the same generic advice and want a smarter, more effective way to workout, this episode is for you.
