    Episode : 29 The Real Reason You Don't Want Sex Anymore in Perimenopause (It's Not What You Think)

    The Real Reason You Don't Want Sex Anymore in Perimenopause (It's Not What You Think)Your sex drive didn't disappear, it got switched off. Here's how to switch it back on. If your sex drive has vanished in perimenopause and you feel like a stranger in your own body, this one's for you. You're not broken and you're not imagining it. I break down the real reason desire fades: a nervous system stuck in survival mode and a body running on empty from months of broken sleep. When you're not sleeping, your stress stays high and your body simply can't get to the calm, safe state it needs for desire to come back. "Trying harder" was never the answer getting your sleep back is where it starts. If the guilt, the distance from your partner, and the fear that "this is just how it is now" sound familiar, come listen. This part of you isn't gone. It's waiting for room to come back.

    Episode 28: Why You Can't Fall Asleep AND Can't Stay Asleep in Perimenopause

    How Perimenopause Affects Your Relationship Snapping, Distance, and What Actually Helps I talk all the time about how not sleeping affects you. Today I want to talk about how it affects the person next to you. Perimenopause is not just happening to you, it is happening to your relationship. The distance that has crept in because you are too exhausted to connect. The snapping that has your partner walking on eggshells. The disconnection that leaves you living alongside each other instead of with each other. In this episode I name what perimenopause is quietly costing your relationship, why it is not your fault or your partner’s, and what I have seen about how much faster women move through this when they have a supportive partner in their corner.  And the real fix getting you back to yourself. Because when your sleep and your energy come back, so does the patience, the presence, and the connection. You cannot pour into your relationship from an empty tank. So we fill the tank.  I'M READY TO SLEEP 7 HOURS A NIGHT   ⁠⁠⁠📧trudie@glowwithtrudie.com Follow on INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe to Hormones & Heels, share this episode with afriend going through perimenopause SCHEDULE MY SLEEP 7 HOURS STRAIGHT A NIGHT CHAT

    Episode 26: You Are So Tired You Can Barely Function. So Why Can You Not Fall Asleep at Night?

    Perimenopause Nervous System Why You Are Tired But Wired and Cannot Sleep at Night We talk a lot about hormones in perimenopause. But we are not talking enough about your nervous system. And your nervous system might be the missing piece. In this episode I explain what your nervous system is, what perimenopause is doing to it, and why things that used to work intermittent fasting, cold plunges, high intensity training, pushing through on no sleep are now making your sleep worse not better. Not because those things are bad. Because your hormonal buffers are gone and your nervous system needs a different approach right now. This is the episode that finally explains why you are doing everything right and still feeling terrible.

    Episode 23: You Are Taking All the Supplements the Gurus Told You to Take. But You Are Still Exhausted. Still Bloated. Still Not Sleeping. Here Is Why.

    Perimenopause Supplements — Why You Are Still Exhausted and Bloated Even When You Are Taking Everything You are taking your supplements consistently. You spent real money on them. And you are still exhausted. Still bloated. Still not sleeping. In this episode I tell you exactly why. Supplements cannot fix a lifestyle problem. Stress is cancelling out everything you are taking. And if the foundation is not there your body cannot absorb or use any of it. I also break down which supplements actually have a place in perimenopause ;vitamin D, magnesium, B complex, iron, fish oil, creatine, protein supplements, prebiotics, and probiotics and which ones to approach with serious caution including melatonin, ashwagandha, DHEA, and collagen. This is the most honest supplements conversation in the perimenopause space.
