In America, perimenopause is often talked about like it’s the beginning of the end. Hot flashes. Weight gain. Mood swings. “Just get through it.”

But in Traditional Chinese Medicine, this stage of life has often been described as a woman’s Second Spring. 🌸

I also think we need to have a bigger conversation about how we approach women’s health. Black and Brown women are not all having the same experience. Some of us may be dealing with estrogen dominance, insulin resistance, chronic stress, fibroids, or other hormone-related issues that can make perimenopause feel very different. Yet so often, we’re given the same advice, the same treatment, and expected to fit into the same box.
