EP 430 Nervous System Dysregulation: The Missing Piece In Perimenopause with Adele Wimsett.

Could your perimenopause symptoms be caused by more than just hormones? In this episode, I sit down once again with Adele Winsett for a powerful conversation about one of the most overlooked aspects of women's health: nervous system dysregulation.

We explore how nervous system dysregulation, chronic stress, and adrenal health may contribute to fatigue, anxiety, burnout, and other common perimenopause symptoms.

While much of the conversation around perimenopause focuses on declining hormones and hormone replacement therapy, many women are also living in a constant state of chronic stress. Over time, this can overwhelm the nervous system, reduce resilience, and leave you feeling exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or simply "stuck."

Together, we explore why supporting the nervous system is just as important as supporting hormones, and why healing often requires looking at the whole picture.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why hormones aren't the whole story in perimenopause

• What nervous system dysregulation is and why it matters

• The difference between fight, flight and freeze

• How chronic stress and adrenal burden can affect how you feel

• Common symptoms women experience when the nervous system becomes overwhelmed

• Why resilience changes as we age

• The pressures of modern life and how they impact women's health
