Anxiety is so connected to menopause and yet many women don’t realise. It can leave us feeling lonely and isolated.
Anxiety in menopause isn’t “just in your head” it’s in your hormones.
When oestrogen and progesterone start to fluctuate, the brain’s calming chemistry changes too.
That means your nervous system reacts faster, cortisol spikes higher, and everyday stress suddenly feels like a mountain.
But here’s the empowering part once you understand what’s happening, you can start to rebalance it. 💫
✨ Keep your blood sugar steady — eating too much sugar or relying on caffeine aren’t good.
✨ Move your body daily — walking, yoga, stretching, or just getting outdoors.
✨ Support your gut — 90% of your serotonin is made there.
✨ Prioritise sleep — aim for calm evenings and screen-free wind-downs.
✨ Stay connected — talking, laughing and sharing resets your stress response.
You’re not broken. You’re transitioning.
And your body can find calm again with the right support. 💜
