## Resource

In this episode, Jenny explains why the strategies that worked in your 20s and 30s, like pushing through stress, skipping meals, or running on little sleep, often stop working in your 40s. As you enter perimenopause, fluctuating hormones such as progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone begin to affect your mood, sleep, stress tolerance, energy, and body composition. Jenny breaks down what’s happening biologically during this transition and why you may suddenly feel more anxious, emotionally reactive, exhausted, or frustrated as your body changes. Most importantly, she reassures you that you’re not imagining these changes and that, with the right support and understanding, it’s possible to navigate perimenopause feeling better in your body and more in control of your health.
