The 35-Year Turning Point: 3 Biological Shifts Every Woman Should Know About (Episode #16)
🔗 Take the Pillar Personality Quiz — Discover which pillar of health you should focus on right now, the specific element within that pillar, and get a 3-day step-by-step plan to start moving the needle forward in your health.
Something starts to change around age 35 — even if you’re eating well, exercising, and doing “all the right things.”
Energy can feel a bit different. Stress hits harder. Sleep and mood become more unpredictable.
This episode breaks down what’s really happening biologically at this turning point and what you can do to support your body through it.
We’ll explore the three key shifts that begin for most women after 35:
- A decline in progesterone, the calming hormone that supports sleep, mood, and buffers stress.
- A decline in DHEA, a “foundational” hormone that fuels vitality, resilience, and overall hormone production.
- A decline in neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which influence energy, motivation, and emotional balance.
These changes are normal — but our fast-paced, high-stress culture often amplifies their effects.
The result? Symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, irritability, and metabolic slowdown that many women assume are just part of “getting older.”
They’re not. They’re signs your body simply wants a new kind of support.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why these shifts begin around age 35 (and what’s really going on behind the scenes)
- The ripple effects on your mood, cognitive function, energy, and metabolism
- How stress and lifestyle accelerate or worsen these changes
- The most effective ways to support your hormones naturally — no extremes required
- Why this stage of life can actually become one of your most powerful seasons
Your body isn’t failing you — it’s evolving. Understanding these changes allows you to move forward with more self-awareness, compassion, and confidence — so you can work with your biology, not against it.
