The Truth About Self-Care After 45: Perimenopause & Nervous System Shifts | Dr. Natalya Borakowski

In this episode, The Human Beauty Movement explores how self-care after 45 often stops working—not because we're doing it wrong, but because our biology and nervous system shift during perimenopause. With expert insight from Dr. Natalya Borakowski, the conversation encourages women to cultivate self-trust, compassion, and personalized routines rather than falling into relentless self-surveillance and optimization. Ultimately, midlife is framed not as a breakdown, but as an opportunity to recalibrate and come home to yourself with more softness, safety, and understanding.
