You're working out, watching your carbs, saying no to wine (mostly)...So WHY does your body feel like it’s on strike?

If you're in perimenopause, welcome to the hormonal circus—where your thyroid and adrenals are the ringleaders of chaos.

In this episode, we’re breaking down:

- Why your body’s acting like a moody teenager with a broken metabolism

- How stress turns your thyroid into a couch potato

- How your thyroid can literally stress you out

- What your other hormones are doing to contribute to the gong show

-The sneaky reason your fat-burning switch is stuck on “off”

-And what to do when your hormones are basically ghosting your efforts

If you’ve ever said “I swear my body’s gaslighting me,” this one’s for you. You're not crazy. You're just in perimenopause—and your hormones are being a little dramatic.
