You look absolutely radiant. I so appreciate this wisdom, too. Even though more women are talking openly about menopause, you were the first to make that okay to do so. Thank you!

Love the back drop of todays MM. I could hear what sounded like a cicada! Soooo wish I knew all this when I was in peri menopause. I had a chuckle when you started listing some of the symptoms, mood swings, irritability, etc. that was me! I was fortunate to not have hot flashes. I must say I am more relaxed now in my 70’s. Love your podcasts 🥰🙏.

I was at my late mother's cabin at my childhood home.

Thank you dr Northrup 🌟💜 I did acupuncture, tuina massage and qi gong prior to the perimenopause. Also, switched to keto, eliminating sugars altogether. The transition went well, no hot flashes or sleepless nights. One symptom I had was that I was forgetting people’s names. It was very uncomfortable in the work setting. It went on for over a year. I am post menopause now and all is well🥰

Well at least you didn't drink the koolaid about getting Alzhemier's or having a "senior moment"-- a term I loathe

Wish I would have known you 20 years ago! But better late than never and all the young ladies you are helping now are so lucky! God bless you and yours😇 p.s. any ideas for those approaching 70? Tests etc?

The main thing I can say is to just avoid the current medical system. I'm serious. Keep exercising and read Goddesses Never Age-- my favorite book!
