Over the next couple days will be digging deeper into some of the lesser talked about symptoms that we face in perimenopause, first up is anxiety. 🧠 What’s Actually Happening This isn’t “random anxiety.” During perimenopause: - Estrogen impacts GABA (your calming neurotransmitter) - When it fluctuates → your brain feels less safe - Your nervous system becomes hyper-alert - So you feel: 👉 on edge 👉 uneasy for no reason 👉 like something is “off” Even when life looks fine. This is biological, not personal. ⚠️ The Pattern Most Women Fall Into - Overthinking everything - Trying to control more - Googling symptoms endlessly - Pushing through exhaustion Which actually reinforces the anxiety loop. 🔄 The Reframe You don’t need to “figure everything out.” You need to create safety in your body again. 🛠️ How to Support This 1. Regulate Before You Rationalize You cannot think your way out of anxiety. → 5–10 minutes daily: - slow breathing - laying flat - quiet stillness 2. Stabilize Blood Sugar Low blood sugar = heightened anxiety → Eat regularly→ Prioritize protein→ Don’t rely on caffeine to function 3. Reduce Stimulation You don’t need more input. → Less scrolling→ Less multitasking→ More space 4. Ground Your Body Bring yourself back into your body: → Walking→ Strength training→ Barefoot grounding 🌿 Arbonne Support - Protein → stabilizes blood sugar → reduces anxious spikes - Greens → supports gut → gut-brain connection - InnerCalm → supports nervous system regulation 👉 “When does your anxiety show up the most—and what’s happening around you when it does?”
