How might we orient to perimenopause, the period of years of hormonal shifts leading up to menopause, in a way that holds reverence, opportunity, and poetry? In my conversation with Kris Gonzalez, educator, acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine pracitioner of The Way of Yin, we have a paradigm-shifting conversation that breathes gentleness and beauty into this often-pathologized time of life. We explore:
- The 3 "Golden Opportunities" in the womb continuum, and the practice of turning inward
- How Chinese Medicine approaches the perimenopause time
- Hormonal shifts in this season, and why it's not just about estrogen
- Simple ways to support our bodies in and for this phase
- Why your 20s and 30s matter for perimenopause and menopause
