95. Menopause without Big Pharma │ Kimberly Ann Johnson
Manage episode 465202471 series 3476460
Today's guest, Kimberly Ann Johnson author of the best selling book The Fourth Trimester, works at the intersection of sex, birth, and trauma. Kimberly entered menopause in 2020 and, just as she had with postpartum and motherhood, began to explore this unique phase of female mammalian life with curiosity and spiritual sensitivity. The standard of perimenopause care -synthetic hormones commonly known as HRT - immediately struck her as out of order with her trust in female physiology. In this episode we examine the accusations of menopausal care negligence not just for refusing HRT, or radical ‘hormone-balancing’ diet regimens, but even down to beauty practices like face yoga and gua sha. Kimberly shares critical analysis of the pathology of women's reproductive life phases and suggests that menopause uninterrupted is the death rehearsal, inviting us to live more biologically.
