In this episode of Menopause Buddies, I speak to Kath, an Australian, who now lives in Ibiza.  She tells us about the world of Chinese medicine and how it can help women during the menopause years.
Kath emphasizes the importance of addressing not only physical symptoms but also psychological aspects such as loss of confidence and identity. Based on her experience treating women in Ibiza, she shares her insights on the impacts of alcohol consumption, sedentary lifestyles, and technology use on menopausal women.
Kath discusses various methods she uses to restore balance, including acupuncture, deep tissue massage, and lifestyle modifications. She highlights the value of regular exercise, maintaining social connectivity, and exploring our sexuality during menopause.
We explore the need for a cultural shift in aging to revere and value older women, drawing inspiration from the grandmother hypothesis.
Overall, Kath encourages women to take ownership of their well-being and offers practical approaches to navigate the peri/menopausal journey.
Kath has recently published a book that explores the gaps in understanding and treatment options for menopausal women.
