Menopause is something most women know is coming — but for many it still arrives as a shock. Hot flushes, night sweats, brain fog, anxiety, exhaustion — the symptoms are so common they have almost become expected.
But Katie Brindle, one of the UK's leading Chinese medicine practitioners and founder of The Hayo'u Method, has a very different take. After more than twenty years in clinic she doesn't believe women are failing at menopause — she believes modern life is failing women.
In Chinese medicine, menopause is known as the Second Spring — not a decline but a transition into a new chapter marked by wisdom, confidence and renewed purpose. In this episode of Midpoint, Gabby talks to Katie about what that reframe can mean in practice, and how ancient wisdom might offer something that modern medicine hasn't always managed to.
