Episode 174: Discussing Perimenopause & Menopause with Vanessa Wieland

Are you done having kids, approaching or entering your forties, and trying to figure out why your periods have suddenly become unbearable? It’s very possible you’ve entered perimenopause. 

But how do you know for sure and what can you do about all these crazy, whackadoodle symptoms? Vanessa Wieland is here to share her knowledge and expertise as well as the studies that support the various therapies she uses. 

Vanessa is an adult gerontology nurse practitioner with over 10 years of experience. She opened her own menopausal wellness clinic, phases clinic in January 2024 which focused on hormonal and non hormonal treatment for the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. She is certified as a Clinical Hypnotherapist in order to treat women with menopausal symptoms who cannot take hormone therapy. 

As far as she knows, she is the only menopause specialist slash hypnotherapist in the world, as one mentor put it “a niche of one”. Some other fun things about her is that she hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2013 which took her six months. By the way, she taught English in China in 2005 speaks Mandarin, and she's a mountaineer 

It seems like menopause and perimenopause have always been these inevitable and scary times that women have to go through and just deal with, but that’s not the cause anymore. Do you feel more prepared to go through the change?
