Eps 425: Health Debt: The REAL Reason You’re Exhausted in Your 40s
When it comes to perimenopause symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, poor sleep, and brain fog, many of us accept them because we think it’s just aging. Because that’s what generations before us went through. Because that’s what our girlfriends are going through, too.
But before we jump to conclusions, let’s talk about health debt.
In this episode, I share why so many women in their 40s feel stuck despite doing all the right things. From poor sleep and weight gain to brain fog, burnout, and low energy, we explore why these symptoms may be signs of depletion rather than simply getting older.
Tune in to discover why this may not be aging at all and what your body could really be asking for.
