## Resource

In this episode of You’re Not Crazy, It’s Perimenopause , we’re talking all about estrogen, your body’s primary growth and protection hormone, and what it looks like when it’s low, when it’s high, and when it’s balanced. If you’ve been dealing with anxiety, mood swings, brain fog, low energy, or just not feeling like yourself, this will help you understand what’s really going on during perimenopause. Jenny walks you through the common symptoms of low estrogen as well as signs of high estrogen, and you’ll also learn what it actually feels like when estrogen is balanced. By the end of the episode, you will be able to connect the dots between estrogen and progesterone and identify simple lifestyle habits that can support hormone balance, improve energy, and reduce perimenopause symptoms such as anxiety, fatigue, and weight gain.
