Perimenopause is often unrecognized by health practitioners because of how symptoms can vary. As a result, women often aren’t given information about this transitional period that’s happening earlier and earlier in life.
Dr. Mariza went deep into the work of getting control of her body when she decided to get pregnant later in life. She’d been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroid disease and perimenopause, so she had to do a lot of work getting her body ready to get and stay pregnant. And a lot of that journey came down to managing stress.
In our 30s, as we’re heading into our 40s, we start to feel the shifts. PMS starts showing up a little more, we’re drinking more coffee in the afternoon, and our culture tells us that it’s normal. That’s what happens to women as they get older, but if we start to take away the stress and the pressure, that alone can reduce many aging symptoms.
Stress is a cascade that starts in our hypothalamus and triggers different hormone releases. For example, when we’re under stress, one thing we don’t need is reproduction. That’s often why we feel a reduction in sex drive when we’re stressed out, together with the reproductive system.
The body doesn’t know the difference between the varied causes of stress, and it can feel like a slight boost which we think is some energy reserve we tapped into. In reality, you’re just stealing from your own metabolic system, and you’ll feel its impact later.
Symptoms of excess estrogen can happen as early as our mid-30s and include migraines, fibrous breast tissue, severe PSM and bloating, heavy bleeding, and signs that mirror early menopause.
Hormones can be toxins, and dysfunctions can happen at any stage. Weight gain can sometimes be caused by excess hormones, like estrogen, that gets stored in fat instead of being released from the body.
To feel better, Dr. Mariza recommends waking up in the morning and drinking a big glass of water with lemon before drinking your morning coffee. Step outside into the sun and help your cortisol, mitochondria, and immune response prime up. If you like sugar in your tea or coffee, replace it with cinnamon. Walk after meals, especially dinner, and do five minutes of mindfulness every day.
