A clear, practical framework for supporting your perimenopausal patients.
When I entered perimenopause at 38, I didn’t recognize it at first. I wasn’t having hot flashes—I was struggling with intense PMS, fatigue, and symptoms that didn’t fit the textbook picture.
My labs came back “normal,” but clinically, I knew there had to be more going on. That experience sent me deeper into the intersection of functional medicine and Chinese medicine.
What I discovered has completely changed how I practice—and how I help women through this transition.
From that work, I developed a 5-step clinical framework that blends functional medicine with TCM principles. It has helped countless patients reclaim their energy, mood stability, and vitality—and I want to share it with you in this focused training.
