About this Event
Perimenopause and menopause are often treated as something to endure. Traditional Chinese Medicine offers a more hopeful and empowering perspective.
Join us at Encircle Acupuncture for a free, in-person talk with Licensed Acupuncturist Teri Cook, exploring how TCM understands hormonal changes in the late 30s–50s—and how this transition can become a time of renewed vitality, clarity, and wisdom known as Second Spring.
What You’ll Learn
- How Chinese medicine views perimenopause and menopause through the Kidney system, yin, qi, and blood
- Common symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep issues, brain fog, anxiety, mood changes, and shifts in libido
- Eastern and Western perspectives on hormonal and neurological changes
- How acupuncture, Chinese herbs, nourishment, and self-care can support this phase of life
