Perimenopause can make you feel like the worst version of yourself.
If you suspect your hormones are off and you’re over it … read on. We have tools that change everything.
Have you become someone you don’t particularly like?
Randomly hot, and not in a “touch me” sort of way - you feel sweaty, damp, swollen, and gross
Awake at odd times, unable to go to sleep, and not sleeping deeply
Paralyzed by anxiety, indecisiveness, flashes of extreme irritability, and wild mood swings
Confused by brain fog, fuzzy thinking, and missed details
Overwhelmed by fatigue and drowning in burnout
Fearful of the next migraine or pressure headache that will send you crawling for a dark room
Plagued by irregular menstrual cycles with uncomfortable bloating and swelling
Disappointed in your body, your mind, and even your life?
We’ve Been There.
Too often, the guidance you’ll hear is either:
“This is just a normal part of aging,” or “try this replacement and get back to us in a few months.”
And the dismissive advice leaves you feeling unheard and not satisfied that you’ve got a solution.
If you suspect that there’s got to be a safe, natural, and effective way to feel like yourself, a way that gets to all the issues you’re dealing with, not just the hormonal level…
You’re right.
You don’t have to accept partial solutions and conventional options.
Start with an Individualized Perimenopause Consultation.
It’s a quick and focused consult designed for busy women who want to clear this off their plate.
We will evaluate you for Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) and customize it to your exact needs and underlying patterns. CHM has worked for centuries to stop perimenopause symptoms, improve physical and emotional vigor, and visibly slow the signs of aging.
With our individualized formulas that we tailor precisely to you and modify as your symptoms resolve, we typically see relief of more than 50% perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms within 30-60 days.
Designed by a high-performing woman for other high-performing women who want a safe, natural, and effective perimenopause solution that won’t cause additional health concerns.
What’s Happening Within You
What you’re experiencing has been part of the cycle of womanhood since… well, forever.
Do you think women have just moped around super-miserable and done nothing about it? For generations and generations upon generations of millennia? We just shrugged and accepted that we’d feel “helplessly miserable” from age 35 until death?
Of course not.
Since ancient times, women have always taken care of our own health issues.
In fact, Chinese herbal medicine has been used for thousands of years to support female hormonal transitions — via a scientific, systems-based, and individualized approach.
Instead of shutting natural processes down or taking them over, a doctor of Chinese herbal medicine uses herbs containing natural biochemical components that the body recognizes to:
Boost both male and female hormonal regulation pathways (yes, testosterone!)
Calm cortisol and anxiety patterns to restore neurotransmitters and nervous system equilibrium
Nourish the mitochondria and deepest levels of the body to move you out of deficiency and nudge you free from underlying fluid congestion and patterns contributing to your symptoms
Work with your body’s transition, not against it, carrying you forward with youthful vigor and grace
Sound nice? It is. And you deserve it.
We’ll let you in on a little secret:
Ancient Chinese medical texts refer to menopause as a woman’s “Second Spring.”
Don’t snort, we’re 100% serious. According to these texts, you’re supposed to be feeling like a teenager again: Sassy, not sad. Clear, not clouded. Sexy, not swollen. But most modern women don’t feel anything close to “springlike” about the changes occurring in their bodies and minds.
That’s a shame. And we aim to change it.
So here’s a question for you:
Are you feeling like you’re entering a joyful, vivacious Second Spring era…
… or a special circle of hell?
A woman’s life has never been easy.
But, if you’re taking the herbs that nature designed to support you, it can be much easier than the life you’re currently living. Perimenopause and menopause can feel like a gift, like a bonus from the universe for enduring so much during your fertile years.
If none of that resonates with you, we want it to.
We want you to feel fantastic about being in perimenopause.
And we are confident that we can get you there.
