Since we have no choice but going through, we may as well enjoy the ride and make the most of it.pm

Loved that quote by Alexandra Pope on the recent Menstruality podcast by .school . During perimenopause and menopause there is an alchemical transformation that happens, like a total reset of your operating system.

The road can be rocky and thus best not travelled alone. If you are local and want to get support through this phase of life, join us on 22 October, 6:30 - 9pm .costabella for Second Spring Rising (see Link in Bio for details)

in the 7th century, Sun Si Miao, revered as "The King of Medicine", recognised that women´s health required a different approach, and complexity was added by menstruation and its imbalances, pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Meanwhile, 21st century Western medicine does precisely the opposite: antidepressant are prescribed indiscriminately to men and women, despite evidence that they may affect the s*xes differently. Prescription for pain medication are also "s*x neutral" despite consistent proof that some may be less effective for women.

No surprise then that Chinese medicine can be such a great modality for women´s health, even if some cases "difficult" and take time to really address.

Another beautiful branch of Chinese medicine is Yang Sheng, a 2,500-year-old proactive self-care practice designed to maintain harmony, boost vitality, and
prevent illness before it starts. The premise of this is that one should be able to prevent serious illness before they even arise, through a combination of appropriate nutrition, exercises and lifestyle habits.

I think it is about time modern medicine caught up to this way or approaching health, don´t you?

Although it can come with unpleasant symptoms, those are also your body´s way to get you to pay attention, often because certain things need to be adjusted in your life.

Now this isn´t a smooth ride, but you can certainly turn it into an opportunity to grow and thrive.

Save this for a friend who needs to hear it. 🤍

In Chinese Medicine, this stage of life isn’t seen as a time of loss or decline but rather a chance to transform. It is referred to as the “Second Spring”.
Instead of losing vitality, you’re redirecting it—from reproduction to wisdom, from chaos to clarity.

Join us on 22nd October and learn what is your menopause type and how lifestyle tweaks, food therapy, acupressure, Qigong and gentle yoga can help your body ease through this transition, so you can start feeling like YOU again 💜

Limited spaces. See link in bio to save your spot ✨.

Perimenopause can be a
Almost always though, bodies will respond to a few basic things like better hydration (no, just water won’t do it), better rest, better nourishment, more movement.
Perimenopause can be a rocky road. Your body’s changes can feel unpredictable, unpleasant and frustrating.
In the majority of cases women have spent decades putting themselves last, after children, loved ones, career, people pleasing.
This time is a wake up call to listen to your body and readjust. Hormone replacement may be in the picture but it shouldn’t be the only option (doesn’t always fix everything anyway) and the more balanced you are when starting it, the better the outcome too,
Chinese medicine gives us a system to help identify where your individual imbalances may lie and how to best address those.
It views this phase of life as a time if transformation referred to as SECOND SPRING, so change is inevitable, but it DOES NOT have to mean chaos.

If you want to learn tools to better go through your perimenopause journey, join us on 22nd October for a journey into Second Spring (see link in bio for details)

Asian medicine views symptoms not as the body´s failure to stay healthy, but as signs of imbalance that can often be corrected with the help of acupuncture, herbal medicine, food therapy or lifestyle adjustments.
Menopause is also not traditionally viewed as an ending, but as a potentially powerful new beginning and the period leading up to it (perimenopause) is nothing than a rewiring at a deep level in order to adjust to that transformation.

If you are over 40 and are looking for a better understanding of the changes your body is going through and want to view perimenopause not as a decline but as a new beginning, come and join us on 22nd October for:

PCOS (Polycyctic Ovarian Syndrome) is now PMOS (Polycystic Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome). The new name better reflects what this condition really is: a complex metabolic and hormonal condition that affects the whole woman, not just her ovaries.

Don´t get me wrong, this change is good as women have been simply handed the pill or metformin for decades, brushing off any metabolic issue.
Saying that, the rebrand is unlikely to come with a sudden change of approach or even solutions from the medical profession.
Until you address the underlying problem, the pill or metformin will only help manage your weight and give you the illusion of a cycle (did you know that when you bleed when on the pill it isn´t actually a real period?)
Treating the whole woman is the answer, and that means looking at the whole of you, from what you eat, how you sleep, how you p**p (yeah, that too!), how you feel emotionally, how stressed you are, and the list goes on.
