A lot of the messages we receive about menopause are negative and most of them aren’t even true. If you feel like society puts you in a box as a woman in midlife, you’re not alone. You and I both know that not every 40-year-old woman fits in the same box. We’re all having unique experiences that come with unique needs, so how do we meet those needs in a world that treats us like we’re all the same?
In this episode, special guest Susana Puelles and I are talking about everything society gets wrong about perimenopause and menopause and what you can really expect from this time in your life. We’re long overdue for some re-education, so why not take matters into our own hands?
Susana Puelles, L.Ac. is a holistic hormone and fertility specialist who has been helping women live in hormonal harmony for over a decade. As a functional and Chinese medicine practitioner and acupuncturist, she helps women reverse decades of damage, replenish reserves to fix their cycles, and live pain and medication-free. After overcoming her own hormone struggles and high-risk pregnancies, she has committed her practice to supporting women holistically throughout their life cycles to embrace change from youth to motherhood and beyond.
Topics We Cover in This Episode:
- Reeducating ourselves about what’s normal in menopause
- The overload of toxins that our bodies experience
- How to deal with inflammation
- How toxins affect your hormones
- Things to look forward to in midlife
- Why it’s not always helpful to rush to medication for help with symptoms
- Ways to increase your longevity
- Movement and food that can support you through menopause
What I want you to take away from this episode is that menopause doesn’t have to be something you dread, nor does it have to be something that makes your life miserable. As Susana says, enjoy the ride! There are so many amazing experiences coming your way and there’s a lot to enjoy at this point in your life. You’re just getting started!
