Anxiety, Cortisol, and Hormone Chaos: Why It Happens & What to Test

If you’ve ever been told your labs are “normal” but still feel anxious, wired, or totally off—you’re not imagining it. In this honest and actionable session, Dr. Anjali Kasunich explains how stress and hormone chaos work together to shape your experience of midlife. She offers a grounded, root-cause approach to anxiety that goes way beyond breathing exercises or band-aid solutions.

Highlights:

  • How cortisol hijacks your nervous system (and what to do about it)
  • The hormone pyramid every woman should understand
  • What most anxiety protocols are missing for women in perimenopause
  • When hormone testing is helpful—and when it’s a waste
  • Why your body won’t make balanced hormones if it doesn’t feel safe

This space is built on science, connection, and radical respect. I believe your nervous system is sacred, pleasure is a birthright, rest is essential, and life is meant to be enjoyed. ADHD is not the root cause, they are symptoms of a dysregulated nervous system. You’re not broken. Your body is divinely intelligent and is doing exactly what it was designed to do. I believe in easy practices that create lasting change, including somatics, psychedelics, mindset shifts, nervous system repair, and a little helping of magic. There is an unseen force (actually there are more than one) that shapes our lives. Science and spirituality are different sides of understanding (The explained vs the unexplained). My goal is to help you remember who the F! you are. Everything is energy. All lives are important. Black lives matter. Queer lives matter. All bodies deserve care, dignity, and support. When one of us suffers, we all suffer. And last but not least:

The best gift you can give the world is to regulate your nervous system.
