When “Natural” Isn’t Neutral: Why Some Adaptogens Backfire in Perimenopause

Are your “natural” stress supplements secretly stressing you out?

In this episode of The Perimenopause Reset Podcast, Miriam Faggett, functional nutritionist and founder of Nourish & Flow, breaks down the misunderstood world of adaptogens — and why they don’t always play nicely with shifting midlife hormones.

You’ll learn:

🌿 What adaptogens like ashwagandha, rhodiola, and licorice root really do inside your body

🧠 Why cortisol, estrogen, and thyroid changes in perimenopause can turn helpful herbs into hidden stressors

⚖️ How to use adaptogens safely (and when to skip them altogether)

✨ The simple rhythm-based framework to restore calm, energy, and hormone balance — without guesswork

This conversation blends real science, relatable stories, and functional nutrition insight to help you understand your body’s unique rhythm — not fight against it.
