Have you noticed lately that your body has become a bit more⌠sensitive?
Maybe youâre eating the same foods but suddenly they upset your stomach.
Or the beauty products youâve used for years now irritate your skin.
For me, itâs been itchy, sore eyes â especially my eyelids.
They feel sensitive when I rub them and they sting after Iâve been for a run.
At first, I blamed the sweat⌠or dog hair⌠or maybe pollen.
We tend to explain it away, donât we?
âThereâs more pollen in the air today.â
âThey mustâve changed the ingredients.â
âMaybe I reacted to something I ate.â
But hereâs the truth:
⨠Itâs highly likely your changing hormones â especially a decline in estrogen â making your body more reactive to everyday things.
Estrogen doesnât just affect your period, mood, or hot flashes.
We have estrogen receptors all through our body â in the skin, gut, eyes, joints, bladder, even the brain.
So when estrogen declines (or fluctuates, like in perimenopause), your body suddenly becomes more sensitive because:
⢠your skin loses moisture and becomes reactive
⢠your gut becomes less tolerant to certain foods
⢠your eyes and eyelids dry out and sting
⢠your immune system reacts differently
⢠your tolerance to heat, stress, and sweat changes
Itâs not âjust sensitivityâ⌠itâs your body signalling a hormonal shift.
And when you understand whatâs really happening, you can stop blaming yourself, stop guessing, and start supporting your body in the way it actually needs.
