Most midlife women think they’re “managing” their stress… but that’s only because we’ve gotten used to feeling overwhelmed.
The reality?
We’re running on cortisol autopilot—multitasking, under-sleeping, and juggling 47 tabs in our brain—while our hormones are quietly freaking out in the background.
According to the American Psychological Association, more than half of us ages 35 to 55 report chronic stress symptoms like trouble sleeping, unexplained fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, and yes, even weight gain—even though we don’t feel stressed day to day.
And chronically elevated cortisol has been directly linked to increased abdominal fat, blood sugar swings, and weight that refuses to budge in perimenopause.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing how everyday stress can silently stall weight loss in perimenopause—plus my 10-minute morning reset to calm your cortisol and get the scale moving again.
In this episode, I‘ll address your most commonly asked questions, including:
✅ Why can’t I lose weight in perimenopause even when I’m eating healthy?
✅ How does stress cause weight gain during perimenopause?
✅ Why am I gaining weight even though I don’t feel stressed?
✅ What are signs my cortisol is too high in perimenopause?
✅ What morning habits help reduce cortisol?
✅ How do I know if cortisol is stalling my weight loss?
 
If you’ve ever wondered why the scale won’t budge—and why nothing you’re doing seems to work—this episode finally connects the dots between stress, cortisol, and stubborn fat.
