This one is a big one! Stress increases cortisol. Progesterone our calming hormone taht balances out oestrogen. Cortisol and progesterone share a starting substance. But when we are stressed the body views cortisol as the hormone that will keep us alive so it prioritises it which depletes our declining progesterone even quicker.
Cortisol becomes dysregulated in stress making it more difficult for us to get to sleep and the less progesterone we have the less of a calming effect it excerpts.
It's so unfair but it's also a massive wake up call to do something about the stress.

It's both! And the reason is that stress increases cortisol that creates insulin resistance which encourages fat to be deposited around the middle- yay😭
And then oestrogen that supports insulin sensitivity starts to decline....so you lose that lovely helpful hand of oestrogen. Kinda a double whammy.

I'm up to 8.7km out of the 20km I commited to for Laps for Life. And if you donate today your donation is doubled- so if you were thinking about donating to provide services to help prevent youth su***de then today is the day!

I need your help. I'm challenging myself to swim to save lives. Every day, one young person in Australia takes their own life – that's one too many. Please donate to my fundraising page and help ReachOut provide all young people in Australia with the support they need to be happy and well. ...

Yes! It totally is making peri menopause worse! And here's why!
💥It disrupts the oestrogen/progesterone balance which is already out of whack so symptoms like moodiness, weight gain, painful or heavy periods (when you do get them) are all WORSE for stress.
💥Stress creates cortisol dysregulation making it harder to get to sleep. And because progesterone, our calming partner to oestrogen, is slowly declining it doubles the problem.
💥Your liver is working double time to metabolise your hormones in peri but along comes stress adding extra pressure to the liver AND we tend to compound the issue with alcohol...it's a nightmare in action!
I have an entire blog on this very topic, plus a few simple things you can do to help create stress resilience. If you'd like to know more then click here https://www.simplyhealing.net.au/blog/how-stress-is-affecting-your-hormones-in-peri-menopause

WE tend to think of stress as a part of life but recently we seem to have been hit with an avalanche of stressful events and it absolutely snowballs if we don't interrupt the cycle. Suddenly, things that we could cope with before we simply can't manage anymore. Add in hormonal changes in peri and we have a recipe for disaster!
Protecting Peace is designed to address the 4 key struggles right now and leave you being able to cope with whatever is coming at you right now.

Protecting Peace in peri is incredibly important because stress definitely impacts our hormones which is why creating stress resilience it is a key component of The Sparkle Method.
I'm running Protecting Peace through the main clinic but it is so relevant for my hormonally challenged peri pals! You honestly won't regret signing up. Check out the link here: https://subscribepage.io/zqc0Zf

I ran a fabulous one off masterclass on Monday night using ERT and the feedback was immediately awesome! Participants started to feel shifts immediately! There are some very clear issues we are dealing with right now and they include stress we can't escape from, money concerns, sleep issues and sheer overwhelm. And if you are in peri menopause then these types of stress definitely impact our hormones making symptoms worse.
I'm offering a 4 part program using Emotion Release Technique (ERT) 'Protecting Peace' that you can check out here https://subscribepage.io/zqc0Zf This technique has proven so helpful I added an extra 2 sessions into The Sparkle Method that are just ERT.
I also did a blog outlining just a few ways that stress impacts our hormones (just in case you were in any doubt lol). Check the blog out here https://www.simplyhealing.net.au/blog/how-stress-is-affecting-your-hormones-in-peri-menopause

FREE Emotion Release Technique (ERT) masterclass offer! This is a super exciting modality that I recently added to The Sparkle method to help overcome self sabotaging behaviours and address our often shattered nervous systems. By the time we get to peri we are often swamped with responsibilities, stress and hormonal change. Emotion Release Technique helps us to let go of those stored emotions holding us in the same old patterns. You can learn more about it over at my website https://www.simplyhealing.net.au/services/
And you can register for the free 'Peace in the Panic' Masterclass here! It's on Monday the 4th of March at 7pm Qld time and yes you need to attend as it's interactive. I don't just talk about ERT, I use it on each of the attendees. So register here https://bit.ly/registerPITP
