Many women suffer unnecessarily because of what’s happening underneath:
❗ 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 + 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐭
Decades of overwork, emotional labor, caretaking, and internalizing pressure to “do it all” leads to adrenal exhaustion.
Your adrenals are the backup system for hormone production once the ovaries begin to slow down — but if they’re burned out, that backup is compromised.
🧬 The stress response demands cortisol, which steals the precursors (like pregnenolone) needed for progesterone and other sex hormones.
This creates the “progesterone drop + cortisol spike” pattern that fuels:
• Anxiety, insomnia, weight gain, rage
• Blood sugar swings and estrogen dominance
• Loss of resilience to life’s stressors
This isn’t a psychological weakness — it’s a physiological trade-off.

Your liver is responsible for conjugating and clearing estrogen, but it also filters every toxin, medication, pesticide, alcohol molecule, and synthetic hormone that enters your system.
During perimenopause, when estrogen spikes unpredictably, the liver is under increased pressure to break down not only your body’s own estrogen but also xenoestrogens — the fake estrogen-like compounds from plastics (BPA), fragrances, tap water, cosmetics, receipts, and more.
If the liver is overburdened, sluggish, or lacking key nutrients (like B6, glycine, choline, sulfur, and magnesium), it can’t keep up.
➡️ This leads to estrogen buildup, poor bile flow, and toxic recirculation through the gut — worsening symptoms like:
• Breast tenderness
• Bloating and water retention
• Mood instability and migraines
• Heavy or clotty periods
High estrogen surges often amplify histamine release (mast cell stimulation), leading to sudden allergic reactions, rashes, or inflammation, which the liver is too burdened to clear.
💡 Supporting liver drainage, bile flow, and phase 1 + 2 detox is essential to smooth the ride through perimenopause.
