In case we needed one more example of how conventional medicine fails women in perimenopause, let’s take a moment to consider heavy bleeding… Virtually every woman is going to experience at least occasional heavy bleeding during the perimenopause years; (and in this episode Cody discusses the real issues causing this problem and talk about the things we CAN do things to get relief and overcome this issue). Things often heard from conventional doctors are something along the lines of: “Just buy heavier pads/tampons.” “It’s not hurting your body to bleed so much; it’s ‘normal’ after all. So you can keep living your life.” “Well, you can look forward to menopause and you won’t have to deal with it anymore!” Can you see the thread running through these suggestions? Deal with it. It’ll end, so why should we try to fix it? You’re a woman so you’re used to bleeding… it’s not that bad, right? In this episode Cody is  here today to tell us all that we do NOT just have to suffer from heavy, painful periods in perimenopause. There’s a reason it’s happening, and there are natural, safe ways to get relief quickly!  If you have a broken arm, do you wait until it heals to do something to fix it?  Of course not.  You get an x-ray, find the root cause of your pain, and make adjustments immediately.  In the same way, you shouldn’t just think, “this will end in a few years when I’m in menopause; so I’ll just deal with the pain.”  This episode is going to be your heavy bleeding “x-ray”—let’s dive into what’s causing this painful; disruptive symptom and (most importantly) how you can get relief!Did you learn something new today?
