From Hot Flashes To Healing: An Ayurvedic Guide To Menopause, Purpose, And Everyday Transitions
Episode 164
Wednesday, 18 February, 2026
Send a textMenopause isn’t a malfunction—it’s a redesign. We sit down with Ayurvedic practitioner and yoga teacher Hannah Levin to explore how midlife can become a powerful reset for your body, your routines, and your sense of purpose. Instead of chasing fixes, we focus on balance through food, sleep, herbs, and small daily rituals that help you feel steady and clear.Hannah explains the elemental shift from the fire-and-water years of creation to the air-and-space years after menopause, and why that transition can feel like a roller coaster. You’ll learn how the adrenals step up as ovarian hormones decline, why stress and late-night meals amplify hot flashes and insomnia, and how microtransitions—short pauses between roles—reduce brain fog and reactivity. We also name the identity currents under the surface: empty nests, retirement, and the question that keeps returning—Who am I now?We get practical about triggers many of us normalize. Alcohol, refined sugar, and high-caffeine choices can sabotage sleep and mood during perimenopause and beyond. Hannah shares simple experiments to find your personal thresholds, plus ways to support detox and digestion. We include the discussion on toxins too; cleaning up household and personal care products can make symptoms more manageable while honoring your body’s new sensitivity as a kind of built-in intuition.This conversation is a reminder that you’re not stuck. Integrative care—pairing Western diagnostics with Ayurveda’s personalized wisdom—can turn midlife into a grounded, joyful second act. If you’re ready to feel at home in your body again, start by respecting your transitions, aligning your daily rhythm, and letting curiosity lead.Enjoyed this conversation?
