Ep #157: How to Reset Anxiety in Perimenopause and Menopause with Dr. Melissa Sonners

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or not like yourself as you navigate perimenopause or menopause? You’re not alone, and you don’t need another complicated “to-do” to add to your plate. In this episode of Menopause Reimagined, Andrea Donsky, host Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, published menopause researcher, menopause educator, and co-founder of WeAreMorphus.com, chats with Dr. Melissa Sonners, a chiropractor and mind-body alignment expert, to talk about simple, science-backed tools you can use in the micro-moments of your day to calm anxiety, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your true self.

We cover:

• Why anxiety and stress are so common (and often worse) during perimenopause and menopause.
• The real reason you wake up between 2–4 AM and what to do about it.
• How to use “microdosing” self-care: 30-second tools you can fit into a busy life.
• The power of brainwaves (theta, alpha, and beta waves), nervous system alignment, and why tapping into and listening to your intuition can be a secret weapon.
• Easy, practical ways to build more play, joy, and calm into your day without adding another task to your checklist.
• How supplements and lifestyle changes can work together to help you sleep, manage stress, and feel more like yourself.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety for the first time or your old symptoms are ramping up, this conversation is packed with actionable tips and fresh perspectives. If you’re looking for real, accessible support for your mind and body in midlife, this episode is for you.
