Why Everything Feels Like an Emergency Right Now.
If you're waking up at 3 AM with a racing heart, or snapping at people you love for no reason, it’s not a "personality flaw." It’s the Estrogen-Cortisol gap.
The "Wired but Tired" Trap
Do you feel like your body is running on high-octane fuel, but your brain is completely out of gas?
In perimenopause and menopause, estrogen (your natural stress-buffer) begins to exit the stage. Without it, your HPA-axis (the alarm system in your brain) becomes hypersensitive.
The Cortisol-Belly Connection
When cortisol stays high because your estrogen is low, your body receives a signal to **store fat**—specifically around the midsection—to protect your vital organs. This isn't about calories; it's about signaling.
- ✓ Systemic Inflammation: High stress = joint pain.
- ✓ Sleep Fragmentation: Cortisol spikes at 3 AM instead of 7 AM.
- ✓ Reduced Cognitive Reserve: Why brain fog feels like panic.
The Solution?
You cannot 'out-hustle' a hormonal shift. You have to use Somatic Resets.
