If you haven’t slept through the night since… you can’t remember when — this episode is for you.
In this episode, I’m joined by women’s hormone expert Robin Nielson to uncover why perimenopause seems to hijack your sleep, what’s really going on in your body, and the actionable steps you can take this week to finally get restorative, uninterrupted sleep again.

Robin breaks down the misunderstood connection between sleep, cortisol, insulin, and hormone balance, why nighttime waking is NOT always “just hormones,” and how nutrient deficiencies, blood sugar issues, toxins, ferritin levels, digestion, and stress are quietly wrecking your sleep more than you realize.

If you’ve been told to just “take melatonin,” “stop caffeine,” or “wait it out,” — you’re going to love this conversation. Robin brings raw honesty, science-backed wisdom, and a completely fresh perspective on how sleep drives every hormone in your body and how to become the CEO of your own circadian rhythm in perimenopause.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The hidden reasons your sleep falls apart in perimenopause (and why it’s not only estrogen).
• Why cortisol and insulin are the two “sleep dictators” running the show.
• The practical, low-cost changes that dramatically improve sleep — without guesswork or overwhelm.

Whether you’re dealing with night sweats, 2–4am wake-ups, racing thoughts, exhaustion, or feeling like you’re aging faster than you should — this episode will help you reclaim peaceful sleep, resilient hormones, and a life that flows again.

This conversation will leave you feeling seen, empowered, and equipped with the clarity you’ve been searching for.

✨ Three Key Takeaways

1️⃣ Sleep is the foundation of hormone regulation — not the other way around.
2️⃣ Balancing cortisol and insulin is the missing link for midlife sleep success.
3️⃣ You must know YOUR body — symptoms show up differently for every woman, but the root causes are measurable and fixable.
