634. Why 'Pushing Through' Is Wrecking Your Hormones with Kerstin Lindquist

I sit down with wellness coach and former QVC host Kerstin Lindquist to unpack the hidden ways stress is silently destroying women’s health. From dementia and hormone imbalance to gut issues, weight gain, burnout, and sleep disruption, we connect the dots between the nervous system, the brain, and the body in a way every woman needs to hear. Kerstin shares the heartbreaking story of losing her mother to stress induced dementia and how that experience completely transformed the way she approaches health, rest, and healing. We dive into the dangerous “hurry culture” women are trapped in, why rest feels so uncomfortable for so many of us, and how fear and overcontrol may actually be blocking healing in the body. We also talk about the biohacking obsession happening in midlife women right now and why more is not always better when it comes to fasting, cold plunges, supplements, and stress on the body. What you’ll learn: Why stress may be affecting your brain more than you realize The hidden “healthy habits” that can actually backfire in perimenopause What your constant rushing and over scheduling might really be doing to your nervous system The surprising connection between fear, control, and chronic symptoms Why some women still feel stuck even when “everything looks good on paper” The small daily habit that could dramatically change your sleep and hormones How your body responds differently to stress in your 40s and 50s This is one of those conversations I truly believe every woman needs to hear and share.
