In this brief video segment, the speaker addresses women who are perimenopausal or menopausal, warning that stress is a major obstacle to hormonal balance and weight management. She explains that cortisol, the primary stress hormone, inversely affects estrogen levels—when cortisol rises, estrogen falls, and vice‑versa. By reducing stress, women can restore estrogen balance, which in turn supports weight loss and overall health. The message is a call to action: take control of stress to improve hormonal health and achieve weight‑loss goals during menopause.

Chapters

If you're perimenopausal or menopausal, stop! You need to hear this. Stress comes hand in hand with life these days, but stress is the enemy. Stress can literally steal your oestrogen, and that's because cortisol, which is the main stress hormone, works in balance with our oestrogen. So if cortisol goes up, your estrogen goes down. Your cortisol goes down, your estrogen goes back up again. Reducing stress is really important. It helps everything, and if you take back control of stress, it will help you to lose weight.
