Join me, Dr. Kristi Tompkins, as I open up a heartening discussion on the often-misunderstood stages of perimenopause and menopause, illuminating them as times of profound transformation and opportunity. Listen in as I draw on my 17 years of expertise in women's health and hormones to share valuable insights on how to navigate the fluctuating tides of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Embrace the journey with practical strategies to manage weight gain, mood swings, and other symptoms, transforming this sacred phase into one of growth and empowerment.

As your guide through these transitions, I also explore the importance of a holistic approach to managing menopause. Learn about the power of a balanced diet, personalized exercise routines, and effective stress management techniques to not only alleviate menopausal discomfort but also to enhance overall well-being. Understand the impact of emotional health on your physical state and discover how functional lab testing can provide clarity and direction for your individual journey through hormonal changes.

Through the conversation, we delve into the world of hormone testing and mindfulness, comparing the benefits of different types of tests and discussing the importance of correlating these results with your unique symptoms. I share my personal experiences with mindfulness in nature, and how such practices can harmonize hormonal balance and promote inner peace. This episode is an invitation to redefine midlife as a time of self-discovery and to reassess life choices for a fulfilling future. I encourage you to carry the inspiration from our discussion forward, and I look forward to your feedback which helps shape our ongoing narrative of self-improvement and joy at Fire Soul Grace.
