Embracing Natural Healing: Finding Perimenopause Wellness in Your 40s

When I turned 40, I felt like I was not only losing my mind to brain fog, but fatigue and a range of dreadful symptoms were leaving me feeling like a shell of my former self! Not that I hadn't already dealt with my fair share of health issues over the years; I had become a seasoned professional at managing many weird health problems no one seemed to know what to do with. My health and wellness had always been a priority. But these new symptoms were on a whole new level. Anxiety turned simple car trips into disasters, weight gain made it difficult to get dressed, and I was stuck in a zone where sleep had become optional. Unfortunately, that option was for others, not for me—this made the days long and the nights even longer.

Perimenopause Natural Healing - A 2nd Awakening

I found myself out of my depth again. However, I wanted to embrace a natural approach to health that aligned with my background as a yoga teacher and allied health clinic manager. I was tired of floundering alone in the dark, trying lotions, potions, choking down powders, and popping "hormonal blend" pills, all without understanding the root causes of my issues.

I had followed the advice of other coaches based on the latest "research" (often bought and paid for science), but I made no progress. Instead, my health declined further. One crucial piece of the puzzle was missing, one I had noticed but had not stopped to consider how it might affect me daily.

It was, of course, the elephant in the room: the toxins released into our air, food, water, and environment. Thankfully, this issue is finally beginning to receive the attention it deserves. As I update this article in March 2025, you might already know about these little-discussed toxins now affecting our lives.

I always believed that our bodies are designed to heal, provided the right circumstances are in place. However, achieving perimenopause natural healing felt impossible while we are constantly exposed to trouble-makers with every breath, bite, sip, or shower. Despite all my research, I had yet to discover a reliable method to address these modern toxins and more.

Discovering Medical Medium Natural Healing

After my thyroid began to swell severely, making it hard to swallow and breathe at night, I completely gave up trying to heal "perimenopause" symptoms on my own. Panicked, I rushed to the health food store, where a naturopath suggested a series of what she termed "inadequate" thyroid tests to kick off the process. Feeling despondent at the thought of lengthy and expensive testing, I decided to read the Medical Medium Thyroid Healing book that had been collecting dust on my shelf.

I devoured the book and quickly moved on to the second, Medical Medium Liver Rescue. I discovered crucial missing pieces, not only addressing my current prominent "peri" symptoms but also many longstanding issues. Within four days of starting my thyroid and liver cleanse, I could sleep without choking. By day ten, I experienced substantial relief from multiple "perimenopause" symptoms, as well as asthma symptoms that had plagued me since age two and chronic pain I had unsuccessfully battled for 15 years.

Smoothies provide an easy and effective way to utilise multiple ingredients for rapid healing.

Nutrition Transformation

Gone were my so-called "trendy" diets. I abandoned the low-carb approach and intermittent fasting. Instead, I embraced all the fruits and vegetables I had been told to avoid or restrict. Overcoming my fruit and carb phobia was vital. Incorporating autumn squashes, various types of potatoes, dark leafy greens, bananas, apples, mangoes, and many others proved both nutritious and delicious. This shift profoundly healed my glucose-starved brain and, eventually, my whole body as each system began to cleanse and heal.

I also became aware of what to avoid entirely, going beyond just the obvious junk foods and seed oils. Understanding nutrition played an essential role in my healing journey.

Community and Support

Finding a community filled with like-minded people has been an invaluable aspect of my journey. I was unaware that hundreds of thousands had previously found healing through the MM information about cleansing. This discovery fueled my passion for sharing this information, so others don't waste precious time on guesswork based on flawed science. It’s my hope that the information remains intact and unaltered, straight from the books, so that others can benefit like I did.

My journey revolves around discovering the best cleansing information for creating systemic healing, a process I’ve been blessed to partake in over the past 24 years.

Why Read the Books?

Many of the series books are available for free at your local library, which is fantastic! As I mentioned, once you begin to digest and comprehend the information, the path to healing will be clear. I recommend reading them from cover to cover. Diluting the information would do a great disservice to anyone seeking to heal. Everyone deserves a fair chance to understand what they need to heal.

Every essential piece of wisdom and knowledge needed for healing is contained within these books. My copies are dog-eared, bookmarked, and sticky-tabbed, read multiple times to absorb all the invaluable information.

Progress, Not Perfection

Throughout this journey, I learned that healing is not linear. Some days, I felt I could conquer the world, while others tested my patience, especially during a healing flare. Celebrating small victories became crucial. Not every day leads to massive breakthroughs; some things heal faster than others. You can progress at your own pace.

There does come a day when you realize the symptoms are simply no longer there. This realization compels many to share their stories of rising from the ashes.

Today, my 40s feel powerful and exciting again! This commitment to natural healing has shown me that self-care is not a privilege; it's a necessity for my well-being and that of my family. When I’m not busy home-schooling or taxi-driving my teens, updating my blog, or sharing insights on social media to help others find their way, I work on future travel plans to visit sacred sites around the world with my husband—something I had once worried I wouldn’t achieve due to my declining health.

Reflecting on the Journey

Reflecting on my natural healing journey in my 40s fills me with immense gratitude. It has completely transformed my health and my outlook on life. For any woman contemplating a wellness journey, I encourage you to explore what could be possible for you if you had the freedom of health.

Embrace the changes, nourish your body, and connect with your community. Self-care can be life-changing. May this next chapter of your story be a beautiful celebration of health, joy, and every moment that truly matters to you and your loved ones.
