Have you ever wondered why anxiety seems to spike during midlife—or why stress feels harder to manage during perimenopause or menopause?
In this episode, Katina dives deep into the powerful connection between anxiety, stress, and menopause, and shares how understanding this link can help you take back control of your mind, mood, and overall well-being.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn
- What anxiety really means, both scientifically and spiritually
- How stress can lead to anxiety and throw your body out of alignment
- The connection between hormones, cortisol, and gut health
- Why perimenopause can make stress harder to handle
- How to restore balance spiritually, physically, and emotionally
Key Points
- Anxiety isn’t “just in your head.” It’s often the body’s response to stress and hormonal shifts.
- The word anxiety comes from Latin and Greek roots meaning “to choke,” “to press tightly,” or “to be pulled apart”, a powerful reflection of how it feels internally.
- Cortisol, the stress hormone, can trigger anxiety, sleep issues, weight gain, and blood sugar imbalances.
- Your gut microbiome plays a major role in mood and emotional regulation over 90% of serotonin is made in the gut!
- Declining hormones during menopause make it harder for your body to regulate stress, but healing and balance are absolutely possible.
