Have you ever considered acupuncture to help support you through — and beyond — the menopause? It’s a fascinating option for women at this stage of life, focusing on restoring balance across the body’s different systems — something many of us need during times of hormonal change.
This month’s guest is acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioner Lily Lai, PhD. With a special interest in women’s health, she guides us through the ins and outs of this ancient therapy - from its origins and how it works, to what the research says about its effectiveness.
We also explore how acupuncture may help with a range of menopause-related symptoms, from stress and sleep to overall wellbeing. Along the way, we touch on its broader role in pain management, and discuss emerging insights into how it could support people with ADHD.
It’s definitely worth a listen if you’re curious about new ways to support your health during menopause.
