Deep Dive into Hormones

Question: How is something that happens to 100% of 50% of the population between the ages of 40 and 60 considered abnormal? The transition that women's bodies go through at the menopausal stage of life is actually amazingly and beautifully normal. It's also tricky and confusing and hard. The human body knows exactly what it's doing. When teens go through puberty we dont say "Oh, my goodness, something is seriously wrong with you!" (well, we might, but that's another post.) We say "oh of course this is happening to your body. It's normal and actually kind of exciting and beautiful and as annoying as some of the expeirences are, they are a just a part of being human that all humans go through.

It's time we think of menopause and perimenopause the same way. It's a transition that human bodies go through that is both predictable and surprising. It's both annoying and beautiful. Its both empowering and full of grief. It's time we hold this expeirence with honor and love and kindness.

Nothing is wrong with us. AND we are having symptoms that we can wrap around, support, change and work with differently. There is a whole world of support out there and I want all of us to have better ability to understand and access that support.

So I have invited Laura Goff of Beacon Acupunture, Lisa Dickinson of Amber Wellness Group and Heather Pfeiffer of Providence Primary Care to gather together to explore how three different, but overlapping, approaches can create a holistic care package to nurture our hearts and bodies during this life transition.

This is a meeting of the minds you wont want to miss!
