Burnout and Perimenopause: A Low-Friction Guide to Understanding and Recovery

Burnout & Perimenopause

A Low-Friction Guide to Understanding and Recovery

This is a calm, evidence-informed guide for women navigating the intersection of perimenopause, chronic stress, and burnout.

It is not a programme, a productivity system, or a list of things to fix.

Instead, it offers clarity — grounded in research — and a gentler way forward for nervous systems that are already carrying too much.

What This Guide Covers

• What is actually happening hormonally and neurologically during perimenopause
• Why burnout is not a motivation or resilience problem
• How hormonal volatility can increase vulnerability to chronic stress
• A short, nervous-system-safe reset designed for depleted capacity
• Hormonal and non-hormonal support pathways, including HRT and alternatives
• Practical choices for recovery that do not rely on optimisation or overdoing
• Grounded in established frameworks including WHO burnout classification, Maslach’s research, and contemporary menopause medicine

This guide draws on established research in neuroendocrinology, occupational health, and menopause medicine, translated for an informed, non-medical audience.

Who This Is For

This guide is for women who:

• Feel persistently exhausted despite “doing the right things”
• Suspect hormones and stress are interacting in complex ways
• Want evidence, not wellness clichés
• Are tired of being told to try harder, rest better, or optimise more
• Want relief without pressure or overwhelm

What This Is Not

• It is not a medical diagnosis or treatment plan
• It is not a productivity framework
• It is not a high-energy motivational guide
• It does not promise quick fixes

The intention is understanding, orientation, and reduced friction — not urgency.
