NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION FOR MENOPAUSE: Simple Vagus Nerve Exercises and Gentle Somatic Tools to Calm Hot Flashes, Brain Fog, and Mood Swings
About this audiobook
Mid-sentence, on a small stage, in front of forty people, she simply lost the word. Then she went home and woke at 3:30am drenched, heart racing, for no reason at all. 🔥
Claire Wardel had written five books on nervous system regulation by then. She still didn't recognize what was happening to her own body until her husband said, half asleep at 4am, "you've been doing this a lot lately... my mum went through the same thing around your age." Perimenopause. The word she'd somehow avoided applying to herself for the better part of a year, even while she understood, better than most, exactly what falling estrogen does to a nervous system.
If the brain fog is making you doubt your own competence… if you're waking up drenched and racing at 3am with nothing actually wrong… if flashes of rage arrive over something genuinely small and feel nothing like you… you are not losing your mind. Your nervous system is responding to a real, measurable hormonal shift, and there is a lot you can actually do about it.
This isn't a vague wellness book with "menopause" tacked on. It's built specifically for hot flashes, brain fog, night sweats, and rage, with direct, honest solutions for each, including an actual conversation about HRT.
Inside you'll learn:
🌡️ Why falling estrogen hits your vagus nerve and stress response directly
🌡️ Vagus nerve exercises built specifically for a hot flash mid-meeting
🌡️ Somatic tools for brain fog and losing your train of thought
🌡️ Scripts for the rage that feels nothing like you
🌡️ A 14-day plan, plus an honest chapter on when to talk to your doctor about HRT
Claire is doing considerably better now. She'll tell you exactly what changed.
Read this book, and stop doubting a body that's just going through something real.

About the author
Claire Wardel writes practical, compassionate books about nervous system regulation, somatic healing, and finding calm in an overstimulating world.
Her interest in the nervous system began close to home, after watching someone she loved struggle for years with chronic stress while insisting he was “fine.” Determined to understand what was happening beneath the surface, Claire began exploring the science of stress, the nervous system, breathwork, vagus nerve practices, and body-based approaches to feeling calmer and more grounded.
Claire is not a clinician, and she doesn't write like one. Her aim is to take ideas that can feel complicated or clinical and turn them into simple, approachable practices that ordinary people can actually use in everyday life.
Her books are written for anyone who wants to understand their body better, feel more at ease within it, and discover practical ways to support a calmer, steadier nervous system.
