S1E7 The Alchemy Of Change


Listen Later

IN THIS EPISODE: How Chinese medicine gives a woman deeper understanding into her own perimenopausal transition. Far from it being the "beginning of the end" (our culture's attitude), perimenopause and menopause present unique opportunities to reconnect with our bodies and ultimately ourselves. 


SHOW NOTES:

Rooted in the understanding that everything is interconnected and in a constant state of change, Chinese medicine offers a broad and inclusive lens through which a woman can observe her hormonal life and more specifically the transition into her second spring.


In this episode we will take a look at how this medical system is perfectly suited to giving a deeper understanding into the perimenopausal transition, and how far from it being the beginng of the end, it offers a unique opportunity to reconnect with our bodies and ultimately ourselves.  At a moment when we find ourselves lost within a maze of symptoms our bodies may be manifesting, Chinese medicine helps us connect the dots of this experience. By connecting those dots, we can begin to make meaningful sense of the experience. 


Hot flushes, night sweats and joint pain can be pretty intense especially when they come at us out of left field - sometimes even blindsiding us. We can get caught up in the tailspin, in the feelings around the experience. 


Oftentimes the emotions we have around the physical experience are more intense than the experience itself. And then, we pile societal and peer expectations onto “The Change” as well as our own expectations of what our bodies should look like and feel like. That fuels the chaos, confusion and exhaustion.


Chinese medicine can help!
