This week, we’re deep diving into Menopause, offering an integrative lens on this transformative life transition. We trace the history of menopause — once overlooked, now gaining the attention it deserves — and unpack the four key phases. We explore how hormonal shifts impact brain function, mood, and memory, and how Traditional Chinese Medicine views this change. We delve into key lifestyle influences and what it means to build an integrative shared-care team as you step into becoming a wise woman. In our Dear Dao Does segment, we unpack Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT) and share clinical insights and real-world reflections from practice.
