Anxiety. Mood swings. Feeling overwhelmed for no reason.
If you’ve been asking “What is wrong with me?”—this episode is your reminder that it’s not just in your head… it’s in your hormones, your brain chemistry, and your nervous system.

Join Lindsey as she unpacks the deep connection between food, mood, and the nervous system during peri-menopause. You’ll learn how your body responds to more than just what’s on your plate—and how small, practical shifts can bring steadiness to your days.

In this episode, we cover:

Why peri-menopause increases anxiety and emotional swings (it’s physiological, not personal)

How your nervous system gets dysregulated—and how to support it gently

Food strategies to balance blood sugar, reduce overwhelm, and nourish your brain

Simple breathwork, grounding, and spiritual tools to help you feel safe and steady

What calm actually looks like in real life (no overhaul needed)

You’ll walk away with:
💡 A fresh understanding of why you feel so “off” lately
💡 Gentle, grace-filled tools to support your mood and nervous system
💡 A reminder that you’re not alone—and you’re not doing it wrong
