Week 3, Day 24

October 7, 2026 · 44 min

Show notes

Gina and Dr. Trejo talk about what happens when your stress outpaces your capacity to recover, and why that hits harder in perimenopause and menopause. They get into loneliness, social media overload, the "doctor says it's not your cortisol" frustration, and why doing less often works better than adding more. You'll hear which supplements have research behind them, which popular ones don't, and a simple breathing reset you can start today.

This conversation is educational, not medical advice. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting any supplement, especially if you take medication.
