Wired and Tired
If you feel ‘wired and tired’ all the time, then there is a stress hormone called
‘cortisol’ which is out of balance now that you are going through your menopause
transition. This is throwing out your PROGESTERONE hormone balance. For you to turn
around your sleep, then there are strategies you need to lower your heart rate, your
blood pressure, your temperature and your stress levels, BEFORE you hit the pillow.
Once you learn these strategies you will start to turn around the inflammation that is
building up inside you. When inflammation stays high, your chronic stress hormone
called cortisol, shuts down your ‘go-to-sleep’ hormone, melatonin.
