@thepauseaffect: When labs come back “normal,” many women are told it’s stress. But fluctuating estrogen and dropping progesterone directly affect the nervous system, heart rhythm, and sleep cycles. These symptoms are hormonal, not “you being dramatic!” Tips: 👉🏻 Eat protein before drinking caffeine (or protein in your coffee) 👉🏻 Stabilize your blood sugar daily (aka don’t skip meals) 👉🏻 Build nervous system regulation into your routine 💕Join our community, The Pause Collective, for weekly support 💕 #ThePauseAffect #NotYourMamasMenopause #PerimenopauseSymptoms #HormoneHealth #WomensHealth
