To look at the headlines you’d think that perimenopause was a second pandemic, instead of a normal transition for a female body. The negativity from click-bate headlines breeds fear and fosters the kind of negative mindset that just makes our symptoms worse. What is less often spoken about is that you are not broken and don’t need fixing. In fact, many of the challenges we experience in perimenopause are caused or worsened by the physical and cultural environment we live in. The shifts in our hormonal picture mean we can now feel badly affected by stress, cultural toxicity and hormone disruptors.
Kate shares four main areas where this toxicity touches us, and shows why this happens from a seasonal and a hormonal perspective. You’ll leave with your own, personal care plan of do-able changes to sustain you through perimenopause and address your symptoms with more self-kindness and care.
