Hi,
I'm Tanya Alfersi and I'd love to help you have a smoother and more empowering journey through midlife change.
Let's look at if anxiety is inevitable during perimenopause and menopause.
According to the mainstream narrative,
Women experience anxiety during the menopause transition because a.
The ovaries create a deficiency since they don't know what hormones we need as we journey through these years and then b.
The brain causes a mental malfunction since it can't cope with the new lower levels of hormones produced at this time.
Can we just stop for a minute and think about these claims?
Do they make sense to you?
Does it make sense that a woman's body gets it so wrong in terms of its inherent design?
Does it make sense that medicine comes along with modern theories about the female body and while woman gets it wrong,
Medicine gets it right?
Does it make sense that doctors then offer women HRT to supposedly ease anxiety when anxiety is also listed as a possible side effect of the medicine?
Should we really be blaming our hormones and our brains?
Oh,
But they say the body works like that because women never used to live beyond menopause.
We know from written history that this is a myth.
Doctors have to rely on this myth to back up the illogical notions they put forward as true.
So what is going on with women's mental health at midlife?
Women are more likely to experience anxiety and other forms of emotional discomfort at this time not because our bodies have bugs in their design.
Rather,
We have innocently created lifestyle patterns in the West which are incompatible with the sensitive years of midlife change.
The body knows how to move beyond our reproductive years smoothly.
Of course it does,
Just as in other sensitive periods in our life cycles,
Adolescence,
Pregnancy and postpartum,
Suffering at this time is not inevitable.
Yet if we live fast-paced lives,
If we overcommit to what we think we should be doing,
If we don't respect our very primal need to slow down during perimenopause and menopause,
And if we continue to believe the made-up I'm-not-good-enough thoughts that enter our head,
The body will start sending us messages to wake us up to the fact that we are creating unhealthy lifestyle patterns which do not serve us.
The women I work with have watched their anxiety fall away not through fixing their hormones or any other so-called chemical imbalance.
Rather,
I take women on a journey to reawaken their connection to the wisdom of the body.
They learn how to read the body's signals and symptoms.
They learn how to discover intelligence within them.
What does your body want you to know is one question I like to ask women.
Often an answer springs to mind.
Sometimes we'd rather ignore the answer until we're ready to hear it.
By helping women reach an understanding of how every human experience,
Including one of anxiety,
Is created,
It's possible to move beyond anxiety and other uncomfortable feelings simply and naturally without needing to change the circumstances of our lives or interfere with the body on a physical level.
The understanding of innate health that I share is life-changing because once a woman gains insight into how her mental and physical health are created and maintained,
It will serve her for decades to come.
A different experience of perimenopause and menopause awaits you if you are ready to leave behind the nonsense of the mainstream narrative and embrace a more loving and empowering rite of passage.
Anxiety and other uncomfortable feelings are not a necessary part of the menopause transition.
Your body doesn't want you to suffer at this time.
So perhaps I'll pose the question again.
What does your body want you to know?
