About me:
Understanding what my body needed changed everything
My Story
Hi, I’m Ange.
For a long time, I felt like something in my body had shifted… but I couldn’t explain why.
I was anxious in a way I’d never been before. My sleep was broken. I felt exhausted, but wired at the same time. At times, it felt like my body was no longer mine.
Looking back now, I can see that this didn’t come out of nowhere.
From my early thirties, there were clear signs something was off, particularly extremely tender breasts and very heavy periods. But I didn’t realise those symptoms could be connected.
When I reached perimenopause and everything intensified, I knew something deeper was going on. I was repeatedly told I needed more estrogen. And in some ways, it did help, briefly. But very quickly, I felt worse.
My heart would race. I had palpitations, anxiety, broken sleep, and a constant sense of being “on edge.” I couldn’t reconcile what I was being told with what my body was telling me.
The turning point came when I finally understood something that had never been clearly explained to me. I was still estrogen dominant. I didn’t need more stimulation, I needed balance. Supporting my body with progesterone changed everything.
The second shift was understanding how much my internal pressure, worry and self-talk were keeping my nervous system in a constant stress response. Learning how much my own thoughts and internal pressure were keeping my body in a constant stress response was the second biggest shift. When I began to change that, everything else started to follow.
From there, the lifestyle changes people often talk about, food, movement, sleep, finally started to work. Not because I was trying harder, but because my foundation was right.
I’m not a doctor, and I don’t offer medical advice. I’m simply a woman who has lived this, searched for answers, and found what helped after years of confusion.
I created this because I wish someone had explained it to me sooner. So many women are experiencing these symptoms without understanding what’s actually driving them.
If any part of this resonates with you, you’re not alone. And you’re not imagining it. You don’t need to push harder. You need understanding, balance, and the right kind of support.
