Navigating Weight and Wellness During Perimenopause and Menopause.
In this episode, Chitra and Clarissa delve into the complex and nuanced topic of weight management in the context of perimenopause, menopause, and overall health.1
Fat is going to be redistributed no matter what we do naturally. If we look at that as a sacred process, a sacred initiation into a stable part of life... that stability is sacred.
We explore various perspectives from Ayurveda and Chinese medicine, including the role of different body types, hormonal changes, and digestive health.
The discussion highlights the importance of balanced nutrition, mindful eating, and incorporating all six tastes in the diet.
Practical advice is provided on using kitchen spices, recognizing undigested food, and the significance of sacred food rituals.
The episode also touches upon the impact of emotions, lifestyle changes, and the necessity for a holistic approach to health and wellbeing during menopause.
