Menopause Rise and Thrive | Helping Women Navigate Midlife and Menopause

How The Five Elements in Chinese Medicine Can Help You Through Menopause with Heather Bergstrom


Listen Later

Are you tired of annoying and uncomfortable symptoms that your doctor can't get to the bottom of? Looking for a solution besides being on hormones and antidepressants for the rest of your life?

Listen up, because I think you’ll be interested in this episode about how acupuncture, East Asian medicine, and functional medicine can help you through menopause. 

I brought in a pro, Heather Bergstrom, to teach us everything we need to know. She’s sharing her experience with frustrating symptoms and limited solutions, the five elements in Chinese medicine and how to use them to get to know your body, and how to start turning inwards and nourishing yourself. 

Heather Bergstrom has been a practitioner of East Asian medicine for over a decade and a practitioner of functional medicine for the last three years. Heather uses traditional wisdom and philosophy as well as current therapeutic understanding to navigate the physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges associated with the transition to menopause. 

Topics covered in this episode include:

  • Listening to what your body is telling you 
  • The five elements in Chinese medicine and how to use them
  • Focusing on how to nourish yourself 


If you’re just finding out about East Asian and functional medicine and you’re wondering if they could be for you, this episode is a great place to start.
