Episode Summary: Are you dragging all day… but lying wide awake at night? That’s not just “getting older”—it’s the cortisol rollercoaster. In this episode, we break down why sleep struggles and extreme fatigue are so common in menopause—and why most advice totally misses the root cause.

You’ll learn:

• How cortisol is supposed to work—and what throws it off

• Why estrogen changes make you more sensitive to stress

• The surprising ways your daily habits (like caffeine or skipping meals) are messing with your sleep

• Real strategies to reset your sleep/wake rhythm without extreme routines or supplements

If you’re feeling tired but wired, this episode will help you understand what your body is really asking for—and how to finally get deep, restorative sleep again.

What You’ll Learn:

• What the “cortisol rollercoaster” really is

• Why menopause makes sleep harder (hint: it’s not just age)

• The connection between under-eating and cortisol spikes

• What to eat (and when) to improve your energy and sleep

• Practical steps to start calming your nervous system—without overhauling your life
