Feeling more stressed, overwhelmed, or less resilient in your 40s? Your hormones may be playing a role.
During perimenopause, fluctuating estrogen and progesterone can affect how your body responds to stress, impacting sleep, mood, energy, and your ability to bounce back from everyday challenges.
You might notice:
✨ Feeling more anxious or irritable
✨ Difficulty sleeping, even when exhausted
✨ Feeling "wired but tired"
✨ Less tolerance for everyday stress
✨ Taking longer to recover from workouts or busy days
The good news? There are ways to support your body through this transition.
At Montana Functional Health, we look beyond cortisol alone to understand how hormones, sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle all work together.
