When Your Body Stops Playing by the Old Rules
You've handled hard things before - researched, invested, pushed through.
But right now your body isn't responding, and the doctor's answer is to wait, so you're up again at 3am, staring at the ceiling, wondering where the best of you went.
And wondering why most "solutions" fall flat.
Here's the thing. It's not you, it's the match
You don't need another supplement or another generic fix - you need a map, tailored to your pattern, your stage, your body.
Chinese herbs are the most powerful menopause tool most women have never truly tried.
But you can't fix flickering lights by swapping out one bulb at a time - you have to find the loose wire behind the wall.
That's what this program does: shows you the why, the what, and finally, the right match.
Which One Sounds Like You?
Here’s why generic advice never worked: your body is unique. See if one of these patterns feels familiar:
Moody & Meh: Mood swings, down days, nothing feels like “you”
When a woman feels this, often the brain's trying to keep up with change moving faster than it can handle. The magic is in herbs that help it adjust, alongside herbs that ease the pace
Hot & Bothered: Flushing, sweating, restless all night
When a woman feels this, often fire runs higher than water - and when it does, the water starts to boil. The magic is in herbs that keep the fire in check without dimming it, and herbs that fill the water back up
Aching & Unsteady: Creaky joints, unpredictable digestion, always “off”
When a woman feels this, often changing hormones set the body's anti-inflammatory switch free, so things that used to settle on their own stop settling. The magic is in herbs that assist the body's own inflammation-regulating system with herbs that support the hormonal foundation - putting a finger back on that switch
If you see yourself, you’re in exactly the right place.
This is how we pinpoint the right herbal match - no more guesswork, no more “Why isn’t this working for me?” Just relief that finally fits.

Your First 30 Days
Think of this like a weekend workshop - super focused, hands-on, and simple. But no pressure. Go at your own pace and revisit whenever you want.
Saturday
See the big picture - get the Menopause Map. Pinpoint your stage and pattern to find yourself on the map. Immediate clarity, no jargon - just kitchen-table language and vivid analogies that allow the patterns behind your hot flashes, exhaustion, and everything else finally reveal themselves. You’ll spot the blind spots other plans missed.
Sunday
Get hands-on with the tools. Learn exactly how to use herbs, choose the format that fits your life, and place your first order.
5-Day Approval Check
Do a quick self-check - make sure your body’s giving the green light before moving forward.
Every 14–30 Days:
5-minute, guided check-ins - so easy, you’ll always know if it’s time to adjust or just enjoy the ride.
By Month 3
Confidently adjust your approach as life and your body change - no starting over, just building on what’s working.
Once you’ve learned the foundation, pop in anytime for new symptoms, tweaks, or questions - no need to relearn, just evolve as you go.

I was pleasantly surprised, because I was afraid that I would get in there and still go, okay, but I'm still not understanding exactly what I should do...
But it it was pretty easy to understand. In fact, and I like the way that you said use the sample protocol first, if nothing else, you know, use one of the the the sample ones. I was looking at that first, and then as I actually started to go into the category one, you know, pick one from category one, category two, and I was able to figure that out!

Everything that's included, and what it costs
The Herbal Playbook for Women 40+
The workshop (Modules 1 and 2, about 3 hours): find your stage and your pattern, then learn exactly how to use herbs day to day - formats, timing, safety guardrails, and how to talk to your doctor or pharmacist
The Protocol Library: every protocol that made the cut, organized by discomfort, then by stage and pattern. Grab-and-go samples, or building blocks to make your own
Monthly live group calls with me: a short new training and Q&A. Send your question ahead and get the answer even if you can't make it
The Amplifier Vault: the diet, lifestyle and supplement protocols I use myself and with my students
My supplier Rolodex: exactly what to order and where, brand and product named
Trackers and Field Notes so you can see what's shifting
One payment of $897 for six months of full access. That's about $149 a month.
For comparison, six months of functional medicine care for menopause can easily run $3,000 to $5,500. That's certainly what it cost me.
After six months, if it's still serving you, you can stay for $47 a month. If you don't, your access simply ends. No surprise charges.
About the herbs: they're not included, and I don't sell them or mark them up. You order them yourself, on your own schedule, from the suppliers in the Rolodex. A protocol starts around $50 a month. For a lot of women, that's $50 in place of some of what's already on the shelf, not on top of it.

Your Results, in Women’s Own Words
Darcy:
"With HRT I stopped after six weeks and had side effects for six months! Now, with herbs, the night sweats and insomnia are nothing like they were. It’s also helped my mood swings and irritability tremendously! And I've had no side effects."
Amber:
"I was in Urgent Care 5 months in a row with perimenopausal migraines. Since my first month on herbs, I haven’t missed a day of work in eight months. I have the tools to address my migraines and they resolve before they ever take over."
Vonda:
"I didn't know that it would get better so fast. At night I was getting those night sweats where you wake up and you're like, OK, I need to go change my PJs because I just wet through them..
That is not an issue anymore. I'm sleeping all night, and I'm nice and cozy. I'm not sweaty and clammy."
"Thank goodness the herbs are working. I thought the hot flashes were just something I was going to have to live with. I could just cry with relief."
Jenny
"After a year of not sleeping while trying everything from natural remedies to HRT, I had black circles under my eyes... Now with the herbs I'm back to getting 8 -9 hours of sleep a night!"
Faith
"I'm down five pounds and no longer going up!"
"My husband went from saying I was so prickly it was like hugging a porcupine...to telling me the last six months have been the best ever in our relationship"
"I was at a conference watching all these women fanning themselves! I WISH they knew there were options... That it doesn’t have to be this way.
It’s really helping. For me, menopause is so much tamer now than before taking the herbs"
See yourself in their stories? You could be the next success story and just one step away from real relief.
The No-BS FAQ: What You Really Need to Know
"What if I pick the wrong pattern?"
Then your body lets you know, and the Playbook shows you exactly what to do next. Here's how it actually works:
The self-assessment in Module 1. You map what you're experiencing, and it points you to your stage and your pattern. No guessing from a list.
Start with a sample protocol. Every entry in the library has grab-and-go samples, so your first order is simple.
The 5-Day Approval Check. A quick self-check that your body is giving the green light before you go further.
Check-ins every 14 to 30 days. Five minutes, guided. They tell you whether to stay the course, adjust, or switch.
Adjust without starting over. If something needs to change, you change the protocol, not the whole plan. And you can bring it to the monthly live call.
Here's what Cheryl said right after going through it: "I was afraid that I would get in there and still go, okay, but I'm still not understanding exactly what I should do... But it was pretty easy to understand."
How long does it really take to feel results?
Chinese herbs aren’t overnight fixes. Some women notice first shifts like steadier mood or fewer hot flashes around two weeks. For most, the bigger shifts like better sleep come between 4 and 8 weeks, and they keep building over 3 to 6 months.
Do I need experience with herbs?
Nope. This is for women who’ve never tried Chinese herbs before. I’ll guide you every step of the way—curiosity and a willingness to care for yourself are all you need.
Will I have to buy herbs separately? (And how much will they cost?)
Yes, you’ll order herbs based on the protocol you build inside the program. I share a vetted list of trusted suppliers, so it’s safe and straightforward. You can adjust your herb orders for your budget - most protocols start at about $50/month.
How much time will this take?
Most weeks, your only task is to take your herbs—just 2 minutes, twice a day. Weekly check-ins can take 5–10 minutes. If you need to adjust your plan, set aside 15–30 minutes that week. No overwhelming commitment—just simple, actionable steps.
Can I do this if I’m in peri-menopause, post-menopause, or on HRT?
Absolutely. The Herbal Playbook for Women 40+ supports you at any stage—peri, post including all the years after menopause, and it's great alongside HRT. Here’s how that works: HRT gives your body the raw materials. Chinese herbs tell your body what to build with them. They’re not competing—they’re completing each other. You’ll learn exactly how to match them to your unique needs.
What if I'm not 40 yet?
No problem. You'll find targeted protocols for earliest perimenopause, with or without symptoms, that can set you up well for what's coming next
What if my main symptom is pain/weight gain/anxiety/etc.?
You’ll start with your main concern—whether it’s sleep, mood, pain, weight, or hot flashes. The program is built to focus on what matters most to you.
What if I’m busy or miss a few days?
Life happens. Skip a lesson or go off track? Just pick up where you left off. Progress beats perfection—always.
How long do I keep access? What happens after six months?
You get full access to every course video, tool, and bonus for six months after you enroll. If you’d like ongoing access after that, you can extend for a small monthly fee, currently $47/month. If you don’t extend, your access ends after six months.
Can I keep my existing meds or supplements?
Yes—and never stop your medications or supplements without talking to your doctor. Always check with your provider before starting new herbs, especially if you’re on any medications or have medical conditions. I give you clear guidance on talking with your doctor so safety stays front and center.
I’m on HRT—can I still do this?
Absolutely. HRT gives your body the raw materials. Chinese herbs tell your body what to build with them. They’re not competing—they’re completing each other. You get clear, step-by-step integration so you’re never left guessing.
What if I have more questions or get overwhelmed?
The Herbal Playbook for Women 40+ is made up of short, simple lessons and clear action steps built for real life. If something isn’t clear, you can reach out to us and get your questions answered in the live monthly Q&A calls, and you can post comments below each lesson. This is a guided, DIY program—not one-on-one coaching but you'll have support all the way through.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes - but it's limited - please see the details below.
*What does "designed for women in the US" mean?
Inside the Herbal Playbook for Women 40+ I share my list of fully vetted, easy-to-access suppliers for Chinese Herbal Remedies. Many of these sources do not ship efficiently outside of the US. If you join the Herbal Playbook for Women 40+ and you're outside the US, sourcing your herbal remedies is up to you, support is not provided for sourcing outside of the United States, and there are zero refunds for anyone purchasing outside the US, which is why I do not recommend joining the program if you're outside the US.
What if I’ve tried everything—will this really help?
Here’s one woman’s real story, her name is Amy:
She’d already changed her diet, worked out, and tried every “miracle” supplement and non-Chinese herb —still, her hot flashes and night sweats were every hour 24 hours a day waking her up every single hour all night long. Some nights, she’d write notes on her phone at 3am just to let the fear out, because she was hiding how bad it was from her family.
Then, she discovered a new approach—Chinese herbs, targeted exactly to her pattern and got relief from the heat in 12 weeks.
Safety Promise
Here's what I stand behind: clear safety guidance on every protocol, a full lesson on checking interactions and talking with your doctor or pharmacist, and a complete guide to side effects, so you know when to pause and when you're simply moving through a normal adjustment.
And if your provider says herbs aren't for you, you get your money back. Go through the workshop, check with your doctor or pharmacist, and if they say herbs aren't right for you because of a medical condition or medication, send me what they said within 45 days of joining. You'll get a refund, minus a $25 processing fee.
That's the only refund I offer, and here's why. Six months is easy to put off. When there's no easy exit, women actually use what they bought - and that's what makes this work.
What I can promise is my part: the system, the library, and me on the live calls every month. I've watched hundreds of women use it well.
Why This Isn’t for Everyone (real talk)
If you’re hoping for a “fix me” group chat, constant reassurance from a coach, or a medical diagnosis—this isn’t the place.
But if you want to be the expert on your own body (with step-by-step tools and honest guidance from someone who’s been where you are)
—you belong here.
I can’t imagine facing menopause, or any stage of aging, without these herbs. They helped me reset symptoms that threatened every part of my life—sleep, focus, energy, even joy. Because of them, I got fifteen years back—fully present, sharp, and feeling like myself again.
For me, it’s the difference between gripping the wheel with confidence, versus praying someone else keeps you out of the ditch.
My mission? Put real power back in your hands, so you look forward to the road ahead.
