I turned 50 this year and am now officially in menopause - my first year of no periods. And I don’t hate it. Is it weird having a different hormone game and changed physiology? Yes, but thank God for TCM!

Without the wisdom of TCM I would be lost in a spiral of fear and anxiety about this era of what Western medicine sees as decline, disease, degeneration. Meanwhile, Western culture tells us we become irrelevant, un-valuable, un-attractive. That’s a lot of unfortunate spin to fight through. 


On the other hand, TCM tells us we are in our Second Spring. Life gives us a once in a lifetime opportunity to fulfill on our highest goals, to reach our fullest potential. Do we need to take care of ourselves differently? Yes. TCM gives us a roadmap to preserve our longevity with endless wisdom on proper nutrition, movement, thinking habits, sleep, emotional balancing, etc during this era of life.
