You may have learned, via hilarious instagram memes, that a wide variety of symptoms (insomnia, body pain, brain fog, urinary issues, low libido, hot flashes and night sweats…) can be linked to hormone decline in perimenopause and menopause.
Chinese Medicine has been a long-time treatment option for relief from the symptoms of an evolving endocrine system (the system in charge of your hormones). AND there is new, revised information pointing to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) being supportive to health and wellbeing. I’m here to support you in whatever approach you decide to take.
Regardless of your approach to manage hormone shifts, the Chinese Medicine perspective on menopause and perimenopause is still important to consider. The severity of your symptoms and discomfort are rooted in a combination of genetics, environmental exposure history, your gut microbiome, long term and current lifestyle habits, including nutrition, substance use (sugar, caffeine, alcohol…), movement practices, exercise and work intensity as well as stress levels and emotional health.
These all add up to create strength and vitality or symptoms and inflammation in the body. The beautiful thing is, Chinese Medicine has solutions for re-establishing a preferred balance.
If you’re having a rough transition, Chinese Medicine lifestyle philosophy, herbs and acupuncture (even alongside your HRT) are supportive for re-balancing your nervous system and endocrine system (BOTH impact your hormone levels), for finding relief from uncomfortable symptoms, as well as detoxifying the impact of years of unmanaged stress and emotions.
Would you like to begin a journey of shedding a lifetime of stress and inflammation as you embark on a more powerful phase of your life? You can schedule the start of that journey opens in a new window::HERE::
