Day 1: Hormones 101 — Why Your Body Feels Different After 40
If you’ve noticed that things feel harder — weight shifts, lower energy, sleep issues, mood changes — this is usually where hormones enter the picture.
Here’s the simple version:
After 40, hormone levels don’t just “drop.” They fluctuate — and that fluctuation affects how your body responds to food, exercise, stress, and sleep.
A few key shifts happening for many women:
- Estrogen becomes less predictable (not just lower)
- Progesterone often declines earlier (affecting sleep & calm)
- Insulin sensitivity can change (blood sugar feels harder to manage)
- Cortisol stays elevated longer under stress
- Muscle-building hormones respond differently to training
That’s why:
• Eating less doesn’t always work
• More cardio can backfire
• Stress hits harder
• Recovery matters more than it used to
This isn’t something to fear — it’s something to understand.
Over the next few days, we’ll talk about:
✔ Which hormones matter most
✔ How to support them with food and movement
✔ When labs and doctors can help
✔ What actually helps vs what makes things worse
👇 Question for today: What feels most different for you lately — energy, sleep, weight, mood, or stress?
