It’s 3 PM and you’re crashing. The hot flushes are unpredictable. You wake at 3 AM with a racing heart and a head full of worries. And slowly, the question creeps in—“Is it just my hormones?”
Yes… and no.
What if your body isn’t just misfiring with hormones, but whispering a truth your mind has long ignored? What if those perimenopausal symptoms—those surges, slumps, and sudden tears—are signals, not malfunctions?
In my work at Aura & Meta, blending functional testing, nutritional therapy, and energy medicine, I’ve seen time and time again: when women stop trying to “fix” themselves and start listening to their body’s messages, true healing begins.
When Symptoms Are Messages, Not Malfunctions
In both energy work and Traditional Eastern perspectives, the body is a messenger. Here’s how symptoms often mirror emotional truths:
- Hot flushes – Unspoken anger, suppressed expression
- Insomnia – Anxiety, fear, or a need for hypervigilance
- Palpitations & anxiety – Identity shifts or fear of losing control
- Bloating & weight gain – A subconscious desire to feel protected or grounded
Your symptoms are not your enemy. They are your body’s invitation to deeper healing. But modern medicine often silences them with temporary fixes—while the underlying story continues to stir beneath the surface.
The Stress-Hormone Loop: What Functional Medicine Reveals
From a functional medicine perspective, symptoms during perimenopause aren’t just “hormonal”—they’re often stress-related. Chronic stress from unhealed trauma, emotional repression, or constant overgiving keeps your nervous system in fight-or-flight, throwing your cortisol, insulin, and sex hormones completely off track.
Here’s what typically happens:
- The brain perceives stress (emotional or physical)
- Cortisol rises, disturbing blood sugar and sleep
- Progesterone (the calming hormone) drops first
- Estrogen becomes erratic
- Liver and gut function suffer—making it harder to detoxify used hormones
And all this? It worsens emotional symptoms, creating a vicious cycle.
Energy Medicine: Where Science Meets Soul
At Aura & Meta, I work with women through neuroenergetic kinesiology—a tool that helps us access the body’s subtle energy systems and uncover what’s hidden.
Using gentle muscle testing, we can detect:
- Inherited emotional patterns (like ancestral guilt or over-responsibility)
- Stuck energy in chakras (e.g., throat chakra blockages from never being heard)
- Unprocessed grief stored in the gut or heart space
We blend this insight with nutritional therapy, emotional release techniques, and targeted testing to create a 360° healing strategy.
One client came to me overwhelmed with anxiety and heart palpitations. Nothing was “wrong” on her labs, but her throat and heart chakras were depleted. As we worked on reclaiming her voice and honouring long-buried truths, her anxiety softened—and her sleep returned.
Perimenopause Isn’t a Breakdown. It’s a Breakthrough.
Perimenopause often gets painted as a loss. But what if it’s your soul calling you forward?
You are shedding outdated roles. Questioning the “should.” Craving something more grounded, more soulful, more you.
This is your rite of passage—not a problem to fix, but a threshold to cross.
When we combine advanced testing, emotional unravelling, and intuitive nourishment, the results are transformative:
Energy returns
Emotions find their release
Hormones settle as your nervous system softens
You begin to remember the woman you were before the world told you to shrink
