If you've been waking up at 3am, gaining weight around your belly no matter what you do, snapping at the people you love, and crying in your car on the way to work — this episode is for you. In this episode, Holistic Hormone Health Coach Angie Marone breaks down exactly what is happening inside your body during perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause — and why your symptoms are not a character flaw, a lack of willpower, or just "aging." You'll learn: — Why progesterone is behind your sleep problems and 3am wake-ups — How dropping estrogen directly impacts your mood, anxiety, and brain chemistry — Why belly fat is a metabolic issue, not a discipline issue — What the connection is between cortisol, stress, and stubborn weight — Why you feel like you've lost yourself — and why that feeling is temporary This is not a list of things you're doing wrong.
