Menopause is a hot topic right now. Women across generations are finally seeing perimenopause and menopause as a profound transition rather than a silent decline. As a clinician who entered practice when the research gap was wide, I remember how little guidance existed for patients and providers. Today, the conversation has shifted, and with it, […]
Menopause is often reduced to lab numbers, hot flashes, and sleep changes, but the inner landscape tells a richer story. Many women in midlife feel sensitive, irritable, or unmoored and quietly wonder if they are losing their grip. What if those intense feelings are not a malfunction but a message? Midlife can surface grief for

Do you feel differently with Perimenopause and Menopause? Midlife asks hard questions with a soft voice: why do I feel different, why is my patience thin, why does sleep slip away just when I need it most? The truth is both simple and profound—your body is shifting seasons. Perimenopause and menopause are not a cliff

Listen to the article Here: If you’ve entered midlife and suddenly your body feels “unfamiliar”—fatigue that is unstoppable, joint pain, inflamed skin, brain fog, weight changes, hair thinning, or labs that keep creeping into abnormal territory—you’re not imagining it. Many women in midlife develop autoimmune patterns (Hashimoto’s, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel conditions, and
Many of us think of immunity as a battlefield, but the thymus, tucked behind the breastbone, is more like a wise teacher. It trains T cells to recognize what is self and what is not, a lesson that keeps inflammation contained and autoimmunity at bay. When life brings heartbreak, abandonment, or relentless stress, this teacher

Chronic pain shapes how we move, think, and engage with the world, yet it often gets reduced to generic advice or endless trials that leave people discouraged. In our conversation with energy healer and Healing Lab founder Mike Sentincia, we explore a model that treats pain as a multi-tissue challenge, not a single switch to

Childhood trauma leaves traces in places we rarely think to look: the stomach that knots before a meeting, the sudden sugar crash at 3 p.m., the racing mind that won’t sleep. When early life stress meets the solar plexus—the chakra of self-determination, motivation, and metabolism—the body learns survival as its first language. That learning shows
How Childhood Trauma Disrupts Digestion, Hormones, And Self-Worth Read More »
Personal power is not an abstract idea; it is felt in the body as steady energy, clear focus, and the ease of digestion. The solar plexus chakra, known as manipura, sits between the ribs and navel and governs metabolism, self-esteem, and drive. When this center is bright, we move through the day with conviction and

We rush through days with heads buzzing and bodies ignored, convinced that thinking harder solves everything. Yet the more the mind spins, the more energy gets pulled upward, starving the body’s quiet signals and straining the adrenal glands. This pattern leaves us anxious, fatigued, and restless, craving quick hits of sugar or caffeine. The root
How Overthinking Drains Your Root Chakra And Adrenals Read More »
The sacral chakra sits at the crossroads of energy, emotion, and biology. Rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom, this center is linked to intimacy, creativity, and our capacity to connect, yet it also maps onto real tissues like the reproductive organs, bladder, kidneys, and spleen. That blend confuses some people: there is no single “sacral gland” you

Healing often begins the moment we decide to ask better questions. That’s the heartbeat of this conversation with Dr. Charlyce, an internist with two decades of clinical experience who also practices as a Reiki Master.

A Practical Path To Self-Healing Read More »
The link between the root chakra and the adrenal glands is more than a metaphor; it’s a useful map for understanding how stress shapes our energy, mood, and long‑term health. In Ayurveda, the root chakra, or muladhara, anchors survival, stability, and physical vitality. In Western physiology, the adrenals govern fast and slow stress responses that
What If Grounding Your Energy Could Balance Your Hormones Read More »
Short, steady practices often beat grand intentions, especially when stress hijacks the day. The five-minute reset works because it targets the nervous system’s two modes: sympathetic, which fires you up for action, and parasympathetic, which restores, digests, repairs, and helps you sleep. Many of us live stuck in sympathetic overdrive, nudged by constant notifications, deadlines,

Interview with Pamela Miles Part 2 Many caregivers and clinicians believe they don’t have time for self-care, yet they carry the cost in poor sleep, short tempers, and decision fatigue.
