Why Perimenopause Is Not a Disease (and What It Really Means)

For too long, women have been told that perimenopause is a problem to be fixed, a disease to be treated, or something to simply “get through.” But what if this season of life is actually one of the most powerful transitions a woman can experience? In today’s podcast episode, I’m reframing midlife not as a medical condition, but as a sacred rite of passage—one that calls us deeper into wisdom, truth, and freedom in our own bodies.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, pathologized, or overwhelmed by the changes of perimenopause, this conversation is for you.

Listen below and explore the show notes for key takeaways.

Episode 2 – Perimenopause Is Not a Disease: Reframing Midlife as a Sacred Rite of Passage

Published: August 19, 2025
Host: Jessica Robinson | Sacred Wisdom Wellness Podcast – Where Holistic Health, Spiritual Truth, and Real Freedom Meet


Episode Summary:

Perimenopause is not something to fear, medicate away, or hide. It’s not the end of your beauty or vitality — it’s a sacred initiation into deeper wisdom, sovereignty, and freedom.

In this episode, I invite you to see perimenopause in a whole new light. Through both cultural critique and Ayurvedic perspective, I share why resisting this transition often creates more suffering — and how embracing it can unlock intuition, clarity, and spiritual growth.

What We Explore:

  • Why perimenopause is more than just a hormonal shift
  • How cultural lies about aging keep women stuck in fear and resistance
  • Ayurveda’s perspective on the Vata season of life (and what your body needs now)
  • Why “anti-aging” is actually anti-woman
  • How midlife can become the beginning of sovereignty, not the end of vitality

A little help…

If I asked you how you’re doing today, would you answer honestly, or give me the typical “I’m fine”?

If a friend asked if you need help with today, would you answer with a “no thanks, I’ve got it”?

Like most people, chances are you’d assert that you’re fine and don’t need anything, because we’re taught to make the best of things (which is a perfectly good quality) — but…sometimes we do need help.

Sometimes we feel stretched to the max with our current circumstances – either physically, emotionally, or both.

Although it often feels easier to just keep plugging away, ignoring the overwhelm, or the pain, consistently living under pressure/stress is a major source of dis-ease and for someone who already has a condition, those issues become more and more complicated (harder to solve) with time.

Let’s just be honest. Instead of making it harder for ourselves, acknowledge the hurt/ pressure/ dis-ease, ask for help, and accept it when someone offers.

How to Thrive this Summer with Ayurveda!

Ayurveda is a beautiful and rich system of healing. It not only gives us an incredibly detailed science of the human being’s magnificent multi-layered self, but it also gives us a picture of the entire universe and how we fit into it. As such, being aligned with Nature is critical to our overall health and ability to heal.

Simply put…if we are out of sync (misaligned), we cannot thrive.

In practical terms, being ALIGNED with Nature means paying attention to the world around us and arranging our lifestyle choices around the circadian rhythms of our planet. Our Grandparents and Great Grandparents did this naturally, because several decades back we humans were more connected to the rhythms of the earth in our daily lives. Nowadays, we have the ability to eat any food in any season, to watch anything online at anytime, to completely disregard the internal and external rhythms around us for the sake of desire and convenience.

What is this disregard doing to us? It’s part of the cause of a whole slew of epidemic problems in our modern civilization — like obesity, type 2 diabetes, insomnia, and so so many different autoimmune issues, like fibromyalgia, allergies, eczema, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, thyroid problems like Hashimoto’s, and a ton of different digestive issues like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Crohn’s disease. And in case you weren’t aware, this is a very small list of all of the autoimmune diseases that are plaguing so many in “modern” cultures. What I wish everyone knew is this…

Autoimmune dis-eases and so many other health diagnoses can be cured with the Circadian Medicine of Ayurveda.

Circadian Medicine is living in tune with Nature. It really doesn’t get anymore uncomplicated than that, which is why it might be looked over in our modern day and age.

This simple wisdom can easily be lost in a culture that puts more faith in technology and the initials that come after a name, than intuition, nature and the individual’s power to heal.

So, without further ado, I’ll get straight to how you can start today, by getting in tune with the season we are in…Summer!
