Menopause didn't just change your hormones.
It removed your brain's natural sedative. Progesterone.
Progesterone converts into a compound that binds the same receptors as sleeping pills.
It kept your cortisol in check.
It kept you asleep.
Menopause took it.
Now your cortisol spikes at 3am instead of 8am.
Same time. Every night. Wide awake.
That's not menopause.
That's uncontrolled cortisol.
And nobody told you.
This is fixable.
DM me 3AM.
