Session Highlights

✨ Understanding Perimenopause Through Ayurveda

• We talked about the natural transition of estrogen decline, reframing it as a shift from the fiery, driven Pitta phase to the intuitive, light Vata phase of life. Instead of seeing these changes as something to “fix,” we explored how to support our bodies through nourishment, movement, and rest.
• Book recommendation: The Wisdom of Menopause by Dr. Christine Northrup.

🍲 Nourishing Your Body for Hormonal Balance

• Ayurveda teaches that digestion is key, and as we move into perimenopause, we benefit from warming, slow-cooked foods that ground Vata energy.
• Ingredients like root vegetables, healthy fats, and spices (ginger, turmeric, cinnamon) help support metabolism and overall well-being.

💆🏻‍♀️ Balancing Hormones & Stress

• Before reaching for supplements, we looked at foundational lifestyle shifts:
  • Better sleep: reading before bed, using essential oils, creating a wind-down routine.
  • Gentle movement: yoga, strength-based workouts, and restorative practices like Yoga Nidra to support hormonal health.
  • Stress management: slowing down, self-care, and listening to what our bodies truly need.

💪 Exercise & Movement for Vitality

• Rather than intense workouts that may deplete energy, we discussed how strength training, yoga, and mindful movement can support bone health, energy levels, and hormonal balance.

📖 Self-Inquiry & Trusting Your Body

• Perimenopause is a time of deep wisdom, and one of the most powerful tools we have is self-inquiry.
• I invited everyone to journal about their body’s changes, what messages their body is sending, and what small shifts could bring more balance.

🌸 Marigold Membership – Your Sanctuary for Support

• We took a little tour of the Marigold Membership portal, which includes:
  • A growing library of recordings, live sessions, and mini-courses.
  • Modules on Sadhana, nutrition, yoga, meditations, women’s Shakti, and even a book club!
  • A private community space for connection and sharing.
• As a special bonus, new members get a 1-to-1 wellness consult and a mini-course on ageing gracefully.
