If you aren`t getting enough protein in your diet every day, it could be contributing to hormonal imbalance and poor reproductive health. ⁣
Consuming adequate protein is a crucial part of supporting hormonal and reproductive health. Sufficient protein improves early embryo growth, mitochondrial health, and pregnancy outcomes.

I recommend aiming for 20-30g of protein per meal, with 3-4 meals per day, for a total of 80-120g of protein per day. Getting sufficient protein on a vegetarian diet can be more challenging and often requires paying particular attention to this crucial macronutrient.

Use a combination of vegetarian protein sources (such as lentils and quinoa) or animal and vegetarian sources (such as scrambled eggs with nutritional yeast) to bump up protein in your meals.

If you`ve been to our clinic, you`ve probably smelled the magical aroma of moxa at work.⁣
Moxa (more formally known as moxibustion) was once as well known as acupuncture. It is an ancient healing technique that uses mugwort leaves that are ground into a soft, cottony fluff that can be placed over points or on top of needles to warm, increase circulation, relieve tension, and reduce pain.

Yes, I know, this all sounds very Harry Potter, but you`ll be amazed how well it works. If you`ve ever had a tight muscle knot that just wouldn`t release, or a scar that felt painful and wouldn`t heal, a moxa treatment can make an impressive difference in just a few minutes.

At Four Flowers Wellness, we`re passionate about helping people feel better, heal their hormones, improve their fertility, and live radiant and abundant lives.⁣
Our approach starts with a belief that your body knows what it`s doing. We think of your symptoms as messages from your body trying to communicate that it needs a little attention to function more smoothly.

We use East Asian medicine and acupuncture to remind your body that it can function well again. When your body is functioning better, your hormones even out, your anxiety and insomnia go away, and your body becomes more fertile.

Curious about how you could be feeling better? Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation by calling 312-404-5882, or schedule at the link in bio.

Thanks, Sandy!

When I was first diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) in my early 20s, I was terrified about what it would mean for my future health and fertility. The doctor`s advice at that time was to simply take the pill and consider IVF when I decided to conceive. ​​​​​​​​​
As someone who felt horrible on the pill and wanted to take a proactive approach, this advice didn`t sit very well with me. I dove into the one (!) book I could find at the time, started acupuncture, visited a number of holistic health providers, and gathered all the information I could find. I was determined to understand the reasons behind my condition and find ways to address its root cause. I wished for a comprehensive resource that could guide me and help me tailor a plan that suited my needs.

When I established Four Flowers Wellness, I envisioned it to be the resource I had sought but couldn`t find. Our mission is to help women solve their health and fertility challenges, not by handing them a magic pill (it doesn`t exist), but by collaborating to find the best solutions for each individual and together crafting a clear plan to turn their dreams into reality.

Over the past 20 years, the understanding of PCOS and women`s health issues has grown significantly, offering a wealth of knowledge. However, with this abundance, there is also a flood of misinformation. At Four Flowers Wellness, we spend our days sifting through this vast sea of information so that our clients don`t have to.

What has been the most significant obstacle you`ve faced while trying to solve your health challenges?
