Unlock the Hidden Triggers Sabotaging Your Perimenopause—#7 Will Shock You!
Stress at work
The stat: “Just over half (53%) of the women reported stress at work is a major trigger for them. Examples of work stressors might be meeting a tight deadline, presenting in front of clients, attending performance reviews and even company social events.”
The reason: “Certain work-related stress, like tight deadlines and other aspects causing stress at work, may trigger symptoms, such as hot flashes [and] anxiety,” says Dr. Greves.
The fix: “Incorporate ‘micro-recovery’ into your life—5-minute breathing breaks, walking meetings, or a short walk at lunch,” says Cathleen Brown, DO, board-certified ob-gyn and medical director at telehealth company Winona. “Consider consulting a therapist or coach who understands midlife transitions. Hormonal changes are natural, but emotional support is essential too.”
