I did not know this until I discovered a new documentary just released, “The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause”. (Watch a great preview video below)
This documentary brings together leading experts to shine light on the health crisis that those of use born with ovaries face as we navigate menopause.
This is a must-watch for women of all ages, their partners and anyone who practices medicine. For me, I found this documentary to be as validating as it was informative.
You can watch it on PBS if it’s aired in your area, or you can stream it on PBS or find a local watch party.
I believe every woman deserves to have a conversation with a doctor who has sought out training in menopause to determine if hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is an appropriate choice for her.
Additionally, Chinese Medicine treatment can help support women through perimenopause and menopause. Acupuncture and herbal medicine stimulate the body to balance yin and yang.
During perimenopause and menopause, yin diminishes rapidly, which triggers symptoms including:
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Dryness
- Anxiety
- Difficulty sleeping
- and more
Regardless of whether HRT is right for you, combining acupuncture, herbal medicine, and tailored lifestyle and dietary modifications informed by Chinese Medicine can help smooth this transition.
