Feeling anxious, wired, and exhausted — all at once? ⚡😴
Especially before your period?
It’s not “just stress.” Your hormones may be getting pulled in different directions.
In women, cortisol and progesterone share the same building blocks. When stress becomes chronic, your body prioritizes cortisol. Then progesterone can take a hit.
And progesterone isn’t just a reproductive hormone. It supports mood, sleep, and your ability to feel calm and resilient 🧠
When cortisol stays high and progesterone drops, you might notice:
• Increased anxiety 😟
• Worse PMS 🌧️
• Disrupted sleep 🌙
• Cycle irregularities 🔄
• Feeling wired but exhausted ⚡😴
This is why stress can hit women differently ... and why it’s worth paying attention to!
