Sleep, Stress, and Hormones After 50: The Reset You’re Missing
You can eat well and exercise perfectly—but without rest, hormones stay out of balance.
Sleep and stress management aren’t extras. They’re essentials.

Why Sleep Is Hormone Medicine





Sleep affects:
  • cortisol
  • insulin
  • appetite hormones
  • mood and focus
Poor sleep worsens almost every midlife symptom.

Stress Is Not Just Mental

Chronic stress keeps your body in survival mode.
Healing happens when your nervous system feels safe.

Simple Daily Tweaks

  • Consistent bedtime
  • Dim lights in the evening
  • Reduce screen time before bed
  • Create a calming nighttime routine
Even small improvements matter.

Choose Consistency Over Perfection

You don’t need a perfect routine.
You need one you’ll actually keep.

Takeaway

Rest is not lazy—it’s necessary.
Your body heals when you let it.
You are worthy of care, too.

I hope you have enjoyed my 4 part series on hormone support.

Meet Anna McElligott

 

I used to struggle with energy crashes and mood swings during perimenopause. It made everyday life as a mom and grandma feel overwhelming, like I was just getting by.

Then I discovered simple, natural solutions like easy swaps for holistic living and routines that supported my hormones. It changed everything—giving me back my spark and a sense of real life wellness.

Now I help women who want to live healthier, reduce toxins, and enjoy simple joys without the overwhelm. We start small and grow from there.

If that’s you, get in touch—I’d love to help.
