Female Health is something we are passionate about at Yoga Medicine—exactly why we have dedicated several episodes to the topic. Today we are distilling the best tidbits of information and advice from multiple episodes into this one.
“Many of us are frustrated by the undeniable lack of research into female health and the influences of female hormones, but that doesn’t mean we have nowhere to go.” – Rachel Land
“Perimenopause and menopause, though often portrayed as uniformly negative experiences, also offer an opportunity to move on to and appreciate the next life stage, especially with education to help us understand, and perhaps manage or mitigate, some of the changes that occur.” – Rachel Land
