Hello Hormones with Dr. Carrie Jones Dr. Sonya Jensen, ND: Rage in Perimenopause, Cortisol Burnout, and Nervous System Dysregulation
If you hit midlife and suddenly feel ragey, burnt out, or emotionally raw for no clear reason, you are not breaking. Perimenopause has a way of removing the emotional buffer you've relied on for years, which means suppressed boundaries, old stress patterns, and survival mode all come to the surface at once.
We dive deeper into this in the latest Hello Hormones episode with Dr. Sonya Jensen, ND. We also talk about why rage can actually be a sign you're ready for change, how the anxious overachiever quietly runs herself into burnout, and how family trauma gets passed down through hormones and the nervous system.
