In this episode, we explore perimenopause as a natural rite ofpassage rather than a medical condition. We cover the physiological changes driving common symptoms including hot flushes, sleep disruption, joint pain, brain fog, mood changes, and digestive shifts, and explain why each symptom makes complete biological sense. We then explore how Ayurveda and Acupuncture, through the integrated AcuVeda framework can support women through this transition with warmth, wisdom, and deep respect for the body's intelligence.
