If you’re a woman over 40 dealing with low energy, stubborn weight gain, menopause symptoms like hot flashes and bloating, or just feeling emotionally exhausted — this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, I’m shifting gears and addressing these menopause and perimenopause symptoms from a different angle. We’re digging into how unhealed trauma, chronic stress, and emotional wounds fill your stress bucket and silently affect your metabolism, weight loss efforts, and energy levels.

I’ll be sharing what Scripture says about how worry, fear, and unforgiveness can manifest as disease in the body — yes, even things like fatigue, belly fat, and digestive issues. If you’ve been trying to boost your metabolism, lose weight after 40, and feel like yourself again but nothing seems to stick, this might be the missing link you didn’t realize you needed.

We’ll also talk about how trauma physically impacts your hormones, nervous system, and weight loss resistance, plus how to start releasing it through faith, mindset work, and simple habits that support your health during menopause and beyond.

In Episode 108: Which Stress Phase Are You In? The 3 Stages of Adrenal Dysfunction (And How to Fix It), we’re diving deep into adrenal dysfunction (aka adrenal fatigue) — what it is, how it wrecks your metabolism and hormones, and how to know which phase you’re in right now. I’ll break down the three stages of adrenal fatigue: ➡️ The Fighter (Overstimulation) ➡️ The Escape Artist (Overload) ➡️ The Freeze (Exhaustion)

You’ll learn the exact signs and symptoms of each phase, from belly fat, brain fog, and sugar cravings to chronic fatigue, depression, and hormone imbalance. Plus, I’ll give you simple, practical steps you can start today to balance your cortisol, support your adrenal glands, and boost your energy naturally.
