In this episode of Breakup Pep Talks, Sarah sits down with women’s health expert Amy to explore how heartbreak and chronic stress impact women’s hormones, sleep, mood, focus, and overall health. Amy explains how breakups spike cortisol levels, disrupt dopamine and serotonin, and can trigger everything from brain fog and exhaustion to PMS flare-ups, irritability, cravings, and anxiety. Together, they unpack why healing doesn’t require a dramatic life overhaul, but instead starts with small moments of self-care, body awareness, better sleep, nourishing food, movement, and understanding your cycle. This conversation is a powerful reminder that many women aren’t “crazy” or “broken” after heartbreak — their bodies are responding to stress, and learning to care for themselves again is part of rebuilding their identity after loss.
