Summary
On this week’s episode, we move beyond the more commonly discussed symptoms of menopause - such as anxiety, irritability, rapid emotional reactions, and mood changes - and focus on the less frequently addressed aspects. The discussion outlines a broader range of symptoms, including cognitive changes (such as difficulty concentrating and memory lapses), physical responses tied to stress (including gastrointestinal reactions), sleep disruption, and shifts in overall stress tolerance. We quickly examine how these changes can affect daily interactions, decision-making, and personal boundaries. The episode highlights how responses to situations may change over time, including reduced tolerance for certain behaviors and more direct reactions. This episode centers on expanding the conversation about menopause by identifying often-overlooked symptoms and discussing how they present in everyday situations. As always, these discussions are intended to reinforce that you are not alone. All the links: https://linktr.ee/anxietymakesmepoop We are so grateful you’re here. THANK YOU for your monthly support.
