🌸 Hot Flashes & Hero Energy: Why Your Body Is Not Betraying You

 



A humorous, empowering guide to hot flashes and night sweats. Learn why they happen, how to manage them, and how to support your body with gentle lifestyle shifts.  


Let’s talk about the moment your body decides to spontaneously combust in the middle of a Zoom meeting. You’re sitting there, minding your business, and suddenly — WHOOSH — you’re a human volcano.

Hot flashes are not your body betraying you. They’re your internal thermostat having a small identity crisis.

πŸ”₯ Why Hot Flashes Happen

Estrogen helps regulate temperature. When levels drop, your brain misreads normal warmth as “WE ARE MELTING.” Cue:

  • sudden heat

  • flushing

  • sweating

  • heart racing

  • the urge to stick your head in the freezer

Around 75% of women experience this. You’re not alone — you’re in a very sweaty sisterhood.

πŸ”₯ What Helps

  • reduce caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods

  • deep breathing

  • cotton clothing

  • cooling sprays

  • stress reduction

  • hydration

  • identifying triggers

πŸ”₯ The Reframe

Your body isn’t malfunctioning. It’s adapting. It’s recalibrating. It’s doing its best with the hormonal rollercoaster it’s riding.

And you? You’re doing amazing.
