I'm Dr. Ellie Corigliano, PhD, former executive leader in the Pharma & Diagnostic Industries for Immuno-oncology Precision Medicine delivering novel medicines and diagnostics that have revolutionized the way we treat many cancers.

However, during my medical research, my own health deterioration between the age of 42-47 launched me into witnessing first hand a severe unmet medical need for WOMEN'S HEALTH. I learned that during the time of Peri-Menopause or Post-Menopause, doctors have glossed over and hand waved it away as NORMAL.

I felt everything but normal.

In oncology, if there is disease pathology, we call it cancer. In perimenopause, if there is disease pathology, we call it normal.

Well, it was because of my own MenoJourney that I set out to uncover or discover a framework of medical and lifestyle practices that could restore my health, and also provide radiant health as I age.

I wanted more than recovery and managing symptoms, I wanted to know health freedom, Vital Health.

I began to collate medical research in pre/post-menopause to study the biochemical feedback loops and the axes connecting our hormone repertoire with a multitude of symptoms.

I found a lot of science with little to no translation into clinical practice for women's health. Many of the studies were looking at the nervous system, osteoporosis, autoimmune disease and more in correlation to reproductive hormone decline during peri- and post-menopause, yet no real solutions coming forward to help manage care.

This is where I thrive as a medical scientist. I know how to bring science into the clinic. In my case, I needed the right doctors who shared the philosophy of diagnostic testing followed by the right treatment at the right time. A Precision Medicine approach!

I found a Naturopath.

She ordered tests and I started on B-HRT in a rhythmic cycle immediately. I was 20 months post-surgical menopause and sickly. I also began to practice what I now call the Art of Active Rest by returning to elemental living with food, nature, movement, breath, meditation, spirituality, sleep, simplicity.

Living both spiritual practices and medical practices became pivotal in my recovery, and I experienced their complementary nature with each other. We often think they are two seemingly dichotomous worlds, but a beautiful union for a radiant life was revealed instead. And from there I saw new frameworks and possibilities that could be distilled into powerful life cobblestones for the journey of life.

MenoQigong is one cobblestone born from that very journey.

I am living testimony to this beautiful profound practice and believe very deeply in its ability to restore our life force energy, Qi, and to empower a woman to unite in mind, body, heart and spirit.

There is a meditative stillness in the movements of Qigong, a healing stillness that extends to and beyond the physical. It becomes a practice of the mind, body, heart and spirit so long as there is consistent practice.

I have had many amazing teachers and healers grace my life over the last several years to help restore my health, and now it is my wish to pay it forward to as many women as possible, to humanity.

Many women need help, beyond the medical paradigm. Help to navigate the inner terrain of steep cliffs and turbulent storms. Help that actually listens and lights a path forward for her own inner wisdom to have a voice. Help that honors this time as a sacred rite-of-passage.

Just as disruptive changes can build slowly over time and then accelerating rapidly once established, so too can revitalizing changes emerge with surprising swiftness, bringing renewal, clarity, and fresh momentum where once there was stagnation, or opposition.

I truly believe we are our best alchemist with the most sacred sanctuary within us.

I founded Arcanium Alchemy to be this very lighthouse. To share my learnings so that other women can experience these tools for their own wisdom to emerge with radiance.

I'm so excited to be on this MenoJourney with you! It is a wonderful time to rediscover yourself again, to remember yourself, to unite in mind, body, heart and spirit. Let this moment be a time of reverence and honor.

In my Newsletter, I write about the beautiful transformative, illuminating journey of a woman's life during pre/peri/post-menopause by discussing Women's Precision Medicine, Biomarker Testing and Intervention Practices. I share my unique protocols to Vital Health, and offer creative tools for your toolkit.

Much love in wellness,

Dr. Ellie
