Rescue You From The Rollercoaster of Perimenopause

About Rescue You From The Rollercoaster of Perimenopause

Perimenopause is so much more than a hormonal transition. It's a profound time in a woman's life when her biology is changing, but often her relationships, priorities, identity and sense of purpose are changing too. And I don't believe we can separate any of these things. Welcome to The Rollercoaster of Perimenopause, where we explore women's health through biology, psychology, lived experience and spiritual wellbeing. I'm Dr Kirstey Holland, author of This Is Perimenopause, a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and functional and integrative medicine practitioner. For 26 years, I've had the beautiful privilege of walking alongside women as they rediscover their vitality, their vibrancy and, perhaps most importantly, themselves. We'll explore perimenopause and menopause: fluctuating hormones, gut health, sleep, metabolism, brain health, the nervous system and practical ways to support our bodies. I love science, research and clinical testing. But I also love the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, spirituality, and exploring our connection to Source and our own inner knowing. We'll talk about perimenopause as a second puberty, changing seasons, and the Second Spring of Traditional Chinese Medicine. When the roles that once defined us begin to shift, it can be an invitation to ask: How am I really? What do I need? Who am I becoming? These questions are part of health. We can honour the grief of change without assuming our best years are behind us. Because we are not simply biological creatures. We are psychological, social and spiritual beings too. Our childhood experiences, relationships, environments, grief, beliefs and the stories we've told ourselves are all part of our experience of health. So are our intuition, our connection to Source, our sense of meaning and our capacity for joy. My approach follows my Hierarchy of Healing. We work to Repair our foundational health, Rebalance our hormones and Reclaim our metabolic health and vitality. Woven throughout is Release: exploring what we may have carried for far too long, reconnecting with intuition, finding our voice, establishing boundaries and taking inspired action towards the life we want to live. Through my seven pillars of vitality, we'll learn to eat, sleep, move, think, connect, test and prescribe in ways that respect your individual biology. Not a one-size-fits-all formula, but your own N-of-one experiment: practical, manageable changes, informed by evidence and by what you notice in your own body. I've experienced profound ill health and the work of healing in my own life. I've also seen, through decades of clinical practice, what can happen when a woman feels stronger and starts asking different questions. It brings me such joy when I see that fire return. I don't believe we should have to choose between science and spirituality. And I certainly don't believe we can spiritualise our way out of a biochemical imbalance. We need to nourish our bodies and understand our unique biology, while also making space for our humanity, intuition and spiritual lives. This podcast is for women just beginning to make sense of perimenopause, women who have been searching for answers for years, and women who already know a lot about their health but feel there is something more to explore. I'm not here to be another guru. I want to share what I've learnt and help you become informed, curious, discerning and self-referenced in your own health. Because I don't want women simply managing symptoms and getting through the day. I want us to have the health, strength, clarity and freedom to live this one precious life of ours on our own terms.

   The Autumn Queen Mindset

   Send me a text if you liked this episode. Midlife isn’t a decline, it’s the moment many of us stop abandoning ourselves and start getting honest about what we will no longer tolerate. We explore the Autumn Queen as a perimenopause archetype for discernment, boundaries, and rewriting the story so we author our own lives. • the Autumn Queen as a midlife awakening rather than a crisis • the difference between performing womanhood and inhabiting ourselves • how “personality” can...
