I'm going to review the cortisol and exercise connection or confusion… and offer some solutions. Feeling exhausted, frustrated and fat? Got stubborn belly fat you want to lose? You're exercising but tired all the time? Sleep or don't, and you're still never rested?  Sound familiar or been there? This episode is PACKED with solutions on cortisol and exercise in menopause. Don't miss it.   What is Cortisol? Your body's primary stress hormone, but it's also your energy hormone. Regulates metabolism, immune response, and stress. Mental and emotional response to stress. For women in midlife, perimenopause or postmenopause, how cortisol behaves is everything.   Cortisol Follows Your Circadian Rhythm Morning: Cortisol spikes – helps you get up, feel alert, burn fat, and stabilize blood sugar. Evening: Cortisol drops – when melatonin (your sleep hormone) takes over. Disruptions to Circadian Rhythm – chronic stress, fatigue, overexercising, late-night screen time keep cortisol elevated when it should be dropping.   HPA Axis Dysfunction (hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal) Your body's stress thermostat — when it's overworked, it breaks. Constant demand leads to adrenal insufficiency.  HPA Axis dial things down to protect you and that's when you hit a wall: You're tired but wired. You can't sleep or sleep all day. Your blood sugar is out of whack — hello cravings and midsection weight gain. Workouts leave you exhausted instead of energized.   Work Out Doesn't Work Anymore? Cortisol Chaos When your old workouts become stressors instead of solutions. Workouts add fuel to the fire. Solution: Cortisol-Conscious Movement The right exercise, at the right time, for the right reason.   The Cortisol–Thyroid–Adrenal Triangle Cortisol: Regulates blood sugar and inflammation. Thyroid: Controls metabolism — but sensitive to cortisol imbalances. Adrenals: Produces cortisol — but burns out if they're overstimulated. If cortisol stays high, the thyroid slows metabolism. That's when fat loss becomes frustrating, no matter how you eat or train.   The Influence of Cortisol and Exercise in Menopause    Cortisol During Perimenopause and Postmenopause Hormonal Fluctuations Decline in estrogen and progesterone affects cortisol regulation. Increased sensitivity to stress and potential for cortisol imbalance. Symptoms of Elevated Cortisol Weight gain, especially around the abdomen. Sleep disturbances and fatigue. Mood swings and anxiety    Symptoms of Low Cortisol  Fatigue - in spite of rest Low Blood Pressure, weakness   Loss of Appetite    Know When You Are On An Allostatic Load When you reach a tipping point, overloaded by chronic stress. Different kinds of stressors: Emotional Relationship Financial Work Home Hormonal Change Physical (diet & sleep) Exercise   The Good News: Cortisol Isn't Your Enemy Cortisol isn't bad. It's misunderstood. When it works with you, it helps you burn fat, stay focused, and bounce back fast. The key is restoring rhythm — using smart, intentional exercise and lifestyle upgrades that rebalance your body's natural stress-response system.   Exercise and Cortisol Impact of Exercise on Cortisol Levels High-intensity workouts can spike cortisol levels. (it's natural!!)  Chronic overtraining may lead to sustained high cortisol and adrenal fatigue . Timing Matters Morning workouts align with natural cortisol peaks. Evening high-intensity workouts may disrupt sleep and cortisol rhythm .   Managing Cortisol Levels Lifestyle Strategies Prioritize sleep and stress management techniques. Incorporate relaxation practices like yoga and meditation, box breathing. Nutrition Tips Maintain stable blood sugar with balanced meals. Limit caffeine and alcohol intake Avoid strict keto or carnivore and include resistant starches  Exercise Recommendations Focus on low-to-moderate intensity and short duration workouts. Include restorative activities and avoid overtraining. Supplement Recommendations B vitamins and magnesium are depleted by stress.  Maca (Find Femminescense here) is an adaptogen.  Ashwagandha can also be helpful for some.  Cortisol Manager (available online) contains some of the above.   Solutions To Your Questions on Cortisol and Exercise in Menopause   Q: Can I recover from adrenal issues on my own? A: Yes, but only if you actually slow down and stop pushing through it. Most women make the mistake of thinking rest is weakness. It's not. Recovery starts when you listen to your body's signals instead of ignoring them. Dial down high-intensity workouts (for now), focus on sleep, manage blood sugar, and pull in the right kind of movement — walking, yoga, strength training with intention. Identifying how deep your HPA Axis dysfunction goes.  Recovery is possible — but not if you keep acting like nothing's wrong.   Q: How long will it take to recover? A: That depends on how long you've been burned out… and whether you actually change your behavior. Mild adrenal fatigue: 4–6 weeks of rest + smart training + nutrition can turn things around. Moderate dysfunction: 3–6 months to really feel like yourself again. Severe HPA Axis dysfunction or adrenal insufficiency: 6–12 months of consistent changes, possibly with functional support. Reminder: The sooner you start, the faster you bounce back.   Q: Will I lose this weight once I fix my cortisol issues? A: Most likely — yes. If cortisol is the reason for your stubborn midsection fat, fixing it is a prerequisite to fat loss. Cortisol dysregulation = insulin resistance, blood sugar swings, cravings, and metabolism slowdown. When cortisol normalizes, your thyroid, adrenals, and metabolism start cooperating again. But here's the kicker: you can't “outwork” cortisol. You have to work with it.

Even if you don't have hot flashes, stay with me on this because this episode is on exercise and hot flashes. We're going to dissect the science and eradicate “science says” as a cry for validity by influencers.  Hot flashes are one of the most common symptoms of menopause. I'll talk about the relationship between exercise and hot flashes along with other menopause symptoms like muscle loss or fat increase.   In previous podcast episodes and books, I've shared researcher comments about whether exercise could mitigate menopause symptoms. The answer, “Yes, provided it's intense enough.”    The Science A 2024 study on 72 pre, peri and postmenopausal women, published in the Menopause Journal of The Menopause Society, looked at the impact of minutes spent in 3 exercise intensities and body composition on total menopause symptoms (TMS).  More symptoms were associated with higher body fat. Intense physical exercise improves % body composition and may reduce TMS, beneficial for perimenopausal women.  An article published by the American College of Sports Medicine, looked at protein turnover changes, muscle size, quality and strength during menopause. All seemed to decline.    What we don't know [Dr Stuart Phillips' response to Mary Claire Haver's Instagram post regarding estrogen's impact on muscle] is the cause for these changes.   Is there evidence for causation between decline of estrogen and decrease in muscle mass, which some women experience:  Insomnia  Poor mood, depression or anxiety Lack of motivation (serotonin receptors) A time crunch in midlife  Comfort or emotional eating  Repeatedly, women will say, “I haven't changed a thing, but my results have changed.” That would be true if you didn't change what it was you were doing. If your hormones have changed, we have to change the exercise.   Another 2024 study in Menopause Journal showed both moderate intensity and resistance training exercise will decrease hot flash occurrence in some women, especially in women with depression.  High Intensity - more impact on body composition and positive impact on hot flashes Moderate Intensity - decreased hot flash occurrence   Exercise and Hot Flashes, Estrogen and Muscle Whether we're talking about exercise and hot flashes or estrogen and muscle loss, so many variables could be at play, even if the science is a randomized double-blind study with a large enough subject pool. If hormones have changed, we have to change the exercise (including nutrition and sleep habits) or it's not going to work.  If medications become important, then we have to look at micronutrients because they're depleted by each prescription or OTC med. If you don't absorb micronutrients you don't have optimal muscle or strength building blocks.    Social Media The type of studies that influencers share matters. Whether they've shared a review of literature, a double-blind randomized control study, or a narrative or know what that means What is the interpretation that helps you make decisions on changes you may want to consider or that reinforces what you are doing? The only real thing an influencer is sharing unless they share the science with you is, “what works for me” and you're left to guess… is that really what happens behind the scenes?    But before I share that, I think we know this:  Both are on a worthy mission… To improve the knowledge we have about muscle, bone and aging and the impact on them of daily and weekly habits  To acknowledge menopause has historically impacted women's health.   What can you do with the information? Make the best choices on exercise prescription, dietary choices, lifestyle habits to offset what is impacted by hormonal changes Make the best choices with their time and energy for women with hormonal changes to get the optimal health habits. Provide clarity about the exercise prescription that is most advantageous and then customize it for women based on their fitness status, health history, and stage of menopause  Train an army of Menopause Fitness Specialist® in every fitness club, health center, university and behind every online program.    Become a Coach on Exercise and Hot Flashes for Women in Midlife If you are interested in becoming a Flipping 50 Menopause Fitness Specialist® and tired of guessing for yourself, your clients and watching a lot of bro science applied to women without ever considering…  We've never asked questions about pelvic floor health in intake forms in the fitness industry. We've never considered from ovulation to luteal phase, a change in nutrition and exercise might serve a woman in reducing injury and getting better results. We've never suggested a woman test her muscle mass at 25 and bone at 30 when she's peaking to compare later.   Do you want to know how to create a comprehensive exercise prescription that supports, not worsens:  Insomnia Pre-diabetes and insulin resistance Low libido  Low bone mass  Body and (specifically) belly fat Exercise  Hot flashes/night sweats   More than 7 other key changes in exercise prescription that help a woman arrive at menopause, thrive through menopause, and enhance her longevity – reach out to me right now.

Living a Nutritious Life PodcastNutritious Life 5-Day Cleanse

Is it hot in here or is it just us? If you're in the throes of perimenopause, you're going to feel right at home in this episode. As ladies of our mid-40s, we have to talk about this. Disclaimer: This is NOT a medical advice podcast.  Thanks to overt sexism within medical research fields, most health research funds are allotted to study diseases that affect men, or how diseases that affect both sexes mostly affect men.  The National Institutes of Health found that diseases, ailments and conditions that affect men receive twice as much funding as those affecting women. Therefore, it would be correct to say scientists are spending much more time and resources studying erectile dysfunction than perimenopause or menopause, leaving women woefully unprepared and under-resourced for this major life change.  How do we deal with that? Well, we're resourceful as always, aren't we ladies? We turn to crowd-sourcing solutions like TikTok and Facebook groups and happy hours. Which means we wind up with a slew of solutions like yam cream, red light therapy, eating more kiwis and drinking mushroom coffee. Will any of it help? Who knows! We'll try it anyhow because dammit, we want to look like we're aging gracefully while also biohacking our faces.  We want to hear from you. Do you have a story we need to discuss or a guest we should feature? Visit us at ToxicThePodcast.com and share your story. (We also have some sweet merch!) If you're experiencing abuse or domestic violence, please reach out to someone you trust. You can also connect with a trained advocate near you through DomesticShelters.org.

The episode provides a roadmap to managing symptoms with confidence, showcasing the importance of reliable resources amid the noise.About Our Guest: Amita Sharma is the co-founder of Nourish Doc, a global holistic wellness platform designed to bring awareness and education to women going through hormonal transitions.

How to Menopause answers all the questions you didn't know to ask, and brings you into a conversation with millions of other women.
