Could your perimenopause symptoms be caused by more than just hormones? In this episode, I sit down once again with Adele Winsett for a powerful conversation about one of the most overlooked aspects of women's health: nervous system dysregulation.
We explore how nervous system dysregulation, chronic stress, and adrenal health may contribute to fatigue, anxiety, burnout, and other common perimenopause symptoms.
While much of the conversation around perimenopause focuses on declining hormones and hormone replacement therapy, many women are also living in a constant state of chronic stress. Over time, this can overwhelm the nervous system, reduce resilience, and leave you feeling exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or simply "stuck."

Together, we explore why supporting the nervous system is just as important as supporting hormones, and why healing often requires looking at the whole picture.
In this episode, we discuss:
• Why hormones aren't the whole story in perimenopause
• What nervous system dysregulation is and why it matters
• The difference between fight, flight and freeze
• How chronic stress and adrenal burden can affect how you feel
• Common symptoms women experience when the nervous system becomes overwhelmed
• Why resilience changes as we age
• The pressures of modern life and how they impact women's health
• The role of oxytocin, pleasure, connection and joy in supporting nervous system health
• Why some women become less tolerant of additional stressors during perimenopause
• Adaptogens and lifestyle strategies that may help support recovery
• My own personal experience navigating grief, loss and nervous system healing

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, emotionally flat, anxious, exhausted or like you've lost yourself, I hope this conversation reminds you that your body isn't working against you—it's asking for support.

✨ Healing isn't just about balancing hormones. It's about helping your body feel safe again.

In Part 4 of my Cancer Series, I sit down with Alannah Connealy, author of The Celluverse, for a thought-provoking conversation about breast cancer, metabolism, chronic stress, trauma, hormones, and the body’s remarkable ability to adapt and heal.
We explore why cancer is rarely the result of a single cause and instead discuss the many factors that may contribute to disease over time, including metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, chronic stress, hormonal health, nutrition, environmental influences, and lifestyle.
One of the most powerful parts of our discussion examines the relationship between major life stressors and breast cancer. We explore why many women report experiencing significant emotional trauma before a diagnosis and discuss the biological effects that chronic stress may have on metabolism, immune function, and overall health.
We also dive into:
• Breast cancer and metabolic health
• The role of chronic stress and inflammation
• Hormones, excess estrogen, and the body’s internal environments influence on cancer
• Water therapy, hot baths vs. cold, and why warmth may be more healing supportive
• Sunlight, vitamin D, and UV exposure
• Integrative cancer therapies, including mistletoe therapy
• Conventional and complementary approaches to supporting health
• Insights from Alannah’s book The Celluverse
• The surprising parallels between The Celluverse and Susan Sontag’s Illness as a Metaphor
And LOTS more.

Whether you’re navigating a cancer diagnosis, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in understanding the science behind health and disease, this conversation offers a thoughtful exploration of topics that are often overlooked. "Disease doesn't come out of thin air."
