What Your Symptoms Are Actually Saying: Menopause Through an Ayurvedic Lens

Your body is changing. Your biology shifting - and just like your monthly cycle it is a involuntary, automatic thing happening in your operating system that you have no control over. I happens whether you want it to or not. In this live workshop, uploaded as a podcast, Jill Novak of Sister Science walks you through perimenopause and menopause through an Ayurvedic lens, translating what is happening in your body, why it is happening, and what your symptoms are genuinely asking of you. This is not a conversation about hormone therapy, supplements, or symptom management protocols. This is a conversation about body literacy. We want you to learn what your body is trying to say, what you do have control over and what you don't. We want you to make clear discerning choices about what you are learning with awareness. In this workshop you will learn: ↳ What estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone were actually doing for you all these years, and what their decline is really asking of you now ↳ Why perimenopause is a Pitta-to-Vata transition and what that means for how you feel, how you move, and how you show up ↳ What each symptom (hot flashes, night sweats, rage, anxiety, insomnia, brain fog, dryness, loss of drive) is actually communicating in the language of Ayurveda ↳ The three causes of disease in Ayurveda and why they become non-negotiables at this stage of life ↳ How cortisol steals from other hormones and why it is essential to look at it as this life transition happens ↳ What the Ayurvedic concept of Vanaprasta (the forest dweller stage) tells us about who we are becoming ↳ The hormones you CAN control: melatonin, serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin - and how to work with them ↳ What daily practices, rhythms, and habits support this transition regardless of whether you are on hormone therapy or not This workshop is for you if: *You are in perimenopause or menopause and feel like nobody is telling you the whole story *You have been handed a list of symptoms to manage and something in you knows there is more to it than that *You are curious about Ayurveda but have no background in it *You are on HRT or considering it and want to understand what is happening underneath *You know your body is trying to tell you something and you are ready to listen Sign up for the full workshop video here: https://www.sisterscience.ca/understanding-menopause Download your free companion worksheet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1etGrc6IyA6-bDraExD91IhM_hGviBQUz/view?usp=sharing
