075: [FEMALE HEALTH] Menopause, Hormonal Health, & Fertility according to Chinese Medicine

The Other Way

Hi everyone! Welcome back to The Other Way. I'm thrilled to be here after taking a short break to recover from Spirit Weavers and my Reiki training in Ojai. I'll be sharing an episode about those experiences soon.
Today, I'm excited to welcome back an amazing guest, Dr. Gabby Pavelko, a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine based in Sausalito, CA. Dr. Gabby is a primary care doctor with a special focus on hormonal and women's health, which will be our topic today. In addition to her practice, Dr. Gabby serves as Chief of Staff at Rootless, a supplement containing seaweed and iodine, a crucial trace mineral for women's health, which we will discuss in detail.
In this episode, we will explore the intersection of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and perimenopause and menopause, covering topics such as:
- The lifecycles of a woman according to Chinese Medicine
- Perimenopause and menopause: perspectives from Western Medicine and TCM
- Understanding chronic symptoms through TCM and what to do about them
- The role of cortisol in balanced hormones
- The importance of the thyroid in navigating perimenopause and menopause
- Reframing menopause: insights from Asian traditions and celebrating the "Second Spring"
And much more!
Tune in for a deep dive into women's health and the wisdom of TCM with Dr. Gabby Pavelko.

Gabby earned her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine at the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco, specializing in women's health and fertility. She is a California Licensed Acupuncturist.
As Chief of Staff at Rootless, Gabby uses seaweed to promote health for people and the planet. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge of TCM to advance the narrative of food as medicine. Her career intersects food innovation, plant-based medicine, community building, and women's health.
