Embracing Wellness: A Holistic Approach to Women's Health with Bethanne Mary Thompson

In this conversation with Bethanne Mary Thompson, a spiritual health and wellness coach, we explore the importance of holistic healing, particularly in navigating the challenges that women face throughout life. Bethanne’s journey is one of resilience, as she has overcome personal challenges, including the painful experience of endometriosis, and transformed her life through a commitment to mind-body-spirit wellness. She is passionate about helping others, especially women, embrace wellness in all areas of their lives. Today, Bethanne shares her wisdom on managing endometriosis, menopause, and overall health using natural, holistic practices.

The Struggles and Triumphs of Endometriosis

Bethanne’s experience with endometriosis began at the age of nine. As a young girl, she faced the challenges of severe menstrual pain, a condition that wasn’t widely understood at the time. Despite early medical interventions and a less-than-ideal approach to managing the condition, Bethanne found ways to cope by adjusting her diet, exercise, and rest routines. She believes that maintaining a balanced lifestyle was key to managing her symptoms—staying hydrated, eating well, and listening to her body’s needs were all essential in reducing the intensity of her pain.

Bethanne advocates for holistic solutions such as organic food choices, avoiding hormone-laden meats, and focusing on a gluten-free diet for those with pelvic pain. According to research, a gluten-free diet can improve symptoms in up to 70% of women with endometriosis. She also highlights the importance of essential fatty acids found in cold-water fish like salmon, mackerel, and tuna for reducing inflammation and promoting overall hormonal balance.

Understanding the Menopausal Transition

When it comes to menopause, Bethanne shares that her own transition has been relatively smooth. Her mother taught her that menopause is a natural part of life, and Bethanne took this to heart. She notes that the key to managing the symptoms of menopause—such as temperature fluctuations and fatigue—lies in lifestyle choices. Spending time outside in fresh air, staying active, and focusing on restful sleep can make a huge difference in how women experience this phase of life.

Bethanne also emphasizes the importance of investing in high-quality, natural fabrics to help manage menopause symptoms. Wearing organic cotton or bamboo fabrics, especially when dealing with night sweats or temperature changes, can provide significant relief. These natural materials allow the body to breathe better and can help balance temperature fluctuations, which are common during menopause.

The Importance of Mindset and Self-Care

One of the most powerful aspects of Bethanne’s approach to wellness is the integration of mindset and spirituality. She believes that taking care of the mind is just as important as caring for the body. This is why she incorporates personal, spiritual, and relational wellness into her coaching. She advocates for a holistic approach that supports not only physical health but also emotional and spiritual well-being.

Bethanne encourages women to track their symptoms, listen to their bodies, and make adjustments when needed. Whether it’s using natural remedies like herbal teas or adopting a more sustainable approach to food, Bethanne’s philosophy centers around self-care and empowerment.

Taking Control of Your Health Journey

Bethanne’s advice for women dealing with menopause, menstrual issues, or any chronic health condition is clear: take control of your health by adopting a holistic approach. This includes eating nourishing foods, staying active, managing stress, and choosing natural products that align with your body’s needs. Her experience shows that small, intentional changes in diet, lifestyle, and mindset can lead to long-term healing and wellness.
