Are you having trouble managing stress? Are you experiencing sleep disturbances in perimenopause and menopause? In this interview, you'll learn why this is happening and what to do about it.

Join Andrea Donsky, a nutritionist, published menopause researcher, and menopause educator, and co-founder of WeAreMorphus.com, and her guest Justin Hai, the co‑founder and CEO of Rebalance Health and the author of STRESS Nation.

Topics:

  • Technology’s impact: Constant connectivity, content overload, and social media elevate stress, disrupt sleep, and affect digestion.
  • Sleep as a signal: Nighttime sleep quality mirrors cortisol balance; meal timing and digestion are essential.
  • Practical resets: Prioritize sleep hygiene, consistent routines, timing of fluids and alcohol, morning sunlight, phone-free starts to your day, and movement to align cortisol rhythms.
  • Media hygiene: Limit violent/harmful content and be mindful of when you consume it to protect your stress response.
  • Play and connection: Laughter, play, and time with loved ones are great accessible regulators of cortisol and well-being.
