·1 hr 2 min·4 clips

Perimenopause is “a very profound spiritual time,” and Claire ties it to nervous system change.

1. Histamine Well Podcast: Exploring Histamine, Methylation & Holistic Health frames this episode around Claire Tate and perimenopause. 2. Joanne Kennedy hosts the conversation and introduces Claire Tate as a Sydney-based kinesiologist, Reiki master, yoga teacher, and intuitive energy healer with 35+ years in energetic medicine. 3. The episode asks what energy healing can do for women in perimenopause, early menopause, and postmenopause. 4. Joanne says the discussion is not about histamine, gut issues, or methylation, but about women navigating a different hormonal stage. 5. Claire describes perimenopause as a “massive recalibration” and Joanne calls it a “chrysalis.” 6. They discuss late perimenopause as the year after a last period, which Joanne describes as a “crazy time” with ovarian failure and difficult hormone shifts. 7. Joanne says she noticed emotional changes, fatigue, more PMS symptoms, and later swollen breasts and emotional swings when starting HRT. 8. Claire and Joanne both say women often become more internally focused and spend less time socializing during the transition. 9. They connect this inward turn to self-study, yoga’s svadhyaya, and listening to the body’s internal guidance system. 10. Claire explains kinesiology as a marriage between muscle testing, biofeedback, and traditional Chinese medicine. 11. She says muscle testing bypasses limiting beliefs and stories so the practitioner can ask the body what it needs. 12. Claire gives the example of procrastination revealing shame from an incident that may have happened at school. 13. She cites Bessel van der Kolk’s book Your Body Keeps the Score while arguing that pushed-down material can eventually manifest as illness. 14. Claire says she layers yoga poses, Bach or Australian bushflower essences, breathwork, and acupressure based on what the body shows. 15. She explains that a double-legged forward fold or butterfly pose can support kidney meridians, and that different clients need different combinations. 16. Claire says anxiety can come from fire, earth, metal, or water imbalances, depending on whether the issue is emotional processing, overthinking, grief, or fear. 17. She also says the person’s constitutional type matters, because a fire type may need calming while a water type may need support for depletion. 18. The episode sounds like an intimate interview with frequent back-and-forth between Joanne Kennedy and Claire Tate, plus clear corrections about weight training, Botox, and intermittent fasting. 19. People interested in perimenopause, kinesiology, and nervous system support will get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a strict biomedical or protocol-only discussion may skip it.
