@LAK yes working on stress reduction (mental/emotional, physical & also physiological) should be a priority. Give your body time to adjust. Chaste tree berry may be enough for now in the early phase of perimenopause as well before considering bHRT.

Was it the DUTCH test that you’ve done? Do you know if it’s high free and metabolized cortisol?…
