293. Is Your Eating a Problem or a Portal?

Here at Insatiable, we’re all about providing the education you need for perimenopause, menopause and aging. I mean, we did a whole season on it, and it's obviously been my own focus since going through early menopause a couple of years ago.

But I'm starting to notice something alarming in terms of what we're not talking about — which is what these hormonal shifts mean for our stress and how this changes what works for our energy after 40.

So this week, we’re diving into the often-overlooked topic of how hormonal shifts in perimenopause and menopause impact our emotional stress resilience.

Because, did you know that the drop in estrogen and progesterone as we age removes a physiological stress buffer for cortisol? This means that the stress we're used to handling might now leave a mark on our energy, mood, and food choices.

So if you’re experiencing stress and food struggles in midlife, tune in to this episode to learn about:

• The exhaustion-fueled cravings cycle that I see with clients
• Why our relationship with food and our relationship with stress go hand-in-hand
• Emotional stress resilience in menopause and beyond
• Stories from the real-life women I support about how to overcome burnout, comparison, and overeating

And if you appreciate this episode, get on my list to be the first to know when my Your Emotional Eating Blueprint: Why Am I Eating This Now? course is open for registration in early April!
