Welcome to perimenopause: Where hormones rule the roost and predictability packs its bags. Your periods start playing hide-and-seek, midnight ceiling stare- downs become the norm, you’re convinced you’re getting early-onset Alzheimer’s, and your waistline seems to be the only thing sticking around for comfort.

If you’ve felt like your hot flashes are hotter, your mood swings meaner, or your brain fog thicker than it should be, chronic stress could be the not-so-silent saboteur. Let’s break down why stress makes menopause symptoms worse and what you can actually do about it. The Hormone Havoc of Menopause Menopause isn’t just the end of your period.

In fact, one of the most overlooked reasons women struggle with energy, weight, sleep, and mood is simple but subtle: nutrient deficiencies.
