Your hormones aren’t random — they work in a powerful hierarchy that keeps your body, mind, and emotions balanced. But during perimenopause and menopause, that hierarchy begins to shift, and suddenly, what once felt effortless now feels unpredictable.
In this episode of The Menopause Map Minute, Cynthia Penner, Menopause Health Coach and author of The Menopause Map Series, breaks down how estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone each influence your mood, metabolism, energy, and confidence — and what happens when their rhythm starts to change.
You’ll learn why progesterone’s early decline triggers anxiety and sleepless nights, how estrogen’s unpredictable surges affect brain chemistry and weight, and why testosterone’s slow fade can dim motivation and libido.
Cynthia explains it all in her signature blend of science and soul, with relatable analogies that make the biology make sense.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How your three key hormones work together to maintain balance
Why the first hormonal “leg” to weaken can make you feel off-center
The ripple effects of shifting estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone
A simple journaling step to start recognizing your personal hormone rhythm
🎧 Listen now to understand your body’s changing hierarchy — and take your next confident step to flourish through menopause.
