4-Part Docu-Series BALANCE: A Perimenopause Journey with Co-Director Sadhvi Siddahli Shree
from Bond on Cinema · host Ward W. Bond
In this interview, Sadhvi Sadhali Sri discusses the realities of dealing with hormonal imbalance during midlife. Many women feel isolated by their symptoms, but this conversation offers a necessary perspective on why you are not alone in this experience. We discuss the motivations behind her documentary series and why addressing hormone health openly is essential for millions of women today. Understanding your perimenopause symptoms can feel overwhelming, but this discussion highlights the importance of shared experiences in managing these changes. By watching this, you gain insight into the broader conversation surrounding women's health and the resources available to help you find balance. Whether you are seeking validation or practical awareness, this look at the documentary provides a supportive starting point for your own health path. The doc-series BALANCE was created by Sadhvi Siddhali Shree and Sadhvi Anubhuti, award-winning monk-filmmakers. Upon discovering their low hormone levels are caused by perimenopause, two monks seek to regain balance over their lives while suffering from symptoms of sleeplessness, anxiety, and fatigue. Searching for answers, the monks are hit with roadblocks of misinformation, lack of education, and inequality throughout the medical system. They find that a cancelled study by the Women's Health Initiative in 2002 is largely responsible for the harsh views on hormone therapy, and seek out doctors from all backgrounds to help squash the lies. Through these conversations, their own journeys on hormone therapy and using natural lifestyle changes, plus conversations with fellow patients who are suffering from intense symptoms, the monks take on the challenge of stopping misinformation, fighting medical injustice, and educating women on how to make the best choices to live the lives they deserve. #menopause #perimenopause #perimenopausejourney #perimenpauserelief #health #medicine #hormones #hormonehealth #hormonebalance #hormonereplacement #hormonereplacementtherapy
