Mindful Menopause
According to traditional Chinese Medicine, the menopause is a time in a woman’s life when she can finally look after her body’s own needs. After some 35 years of sending her body’s nutrients to line her uterus each month just in case she needs to nourish and grow a baby, only to flush it all down the loo most of the time, the menopause is finally a time when she can nourish herself! The Chinese Medicine teachings tell us that this is a time when all those nutrients to go upwards to her brain to allow her to become the Wise Woman that she naturally is.
What a wonderful concept, yet it is far from the reality faced by many (if not most) women in the Western world!
These packages have been designed to get you onto that track where the menopause is a time of life to be welcomed, not dreaded and where you can transition as smoothly as possible into the next phase of your life.

Maybe your menstrual cycle is becoming less predictable in frequency and how heavy it is, you have mild symptoms of poor sleep, you have noticed that you are tending to feel warmer in the evening, your weight may be creeping up even though you are eating the same, but all your symptoms could be put down to stress, worry, anxiety, lockdown and a myriad of other things, so you just want to know what’s going on. If so, then this test is for you.

Whichever plan you choose, these lab tests can shed light on things happening ‘behind-the-scenes’ even when you have a good diet and seem to be doing everything right. The two GI profiles show us a) whether you are getting the right nutrients into your body and b) whether you are actually able to absorb them, so they do not only help to explain any weight gin, but they also show us where nutrient deficiencies may be leading to other diverse symptoms.
During our time working together, I want to promote a Mindful Menopause where we, as women, can focus on nourishing our bodies and Minds, so that we can become the Wise Women that our experiences over the years have led us towards.
These packages set you up in the best way possible for a healthy post-menopausal phase of your life. The information from these lab tests, your timeline and your matrix will combine together to show us trends in your health even before other symptoms arise, helping us to prevent illness later on.
For many women who have been caring for and putting others first, midlife is the time when there’s finally space to start thinking about you…Up until this point, there have been socially defined milestones like college, first job, maybe marriage, maybe kids, maybe grad school, maybe the first house, and then if there are kids, the kids’ milestones. The lack of milestones can make midlife feel like uncharted territory.
It is, and it’s ready to be explored and conquered.
