from Ministry of Menopause

Are you wide awake at 2am, staring at the ceiling and wondering if you’ll ever get a full night’s sleep again? You’re not alone. Insomnia in perimenopause and menopause is one of the most common (and frustrating!) symptoms women tell me about — from trouble falling asleep, to 3am wake-ups, to feeling wired but exhausted the next day.In this episode of Celebrity Menopause, I break down exactly why perimenopause and menopause disrupt sleep — from changing levels of estrogen and progesterone, to cortisol spikes, night sweats, and inflammation.You’ll hear real stories, relatable examples, and science explained in a fun, no-jargon way. Plus, I’ll share holistic sleep strategies that actually work, and how HRT can help some women reclaim deep rest.Because yes, even celebs struggle with sleep in midlife — but you don’t have to suffer in silence.🎙️ New episodes every Wednesday. 📩 For the free email subscription + clinic news, join my list via the link in bio.
