Is Acupuncture Safe?

It is clear that many, or even most, women are struggling through their cycles. From pain and heavy bleeding, to fatigue, headaches, and mood swings, women`s lives are being shaped by their cycle struggles.

There are many well-meaning people out there who are trying to help women navigate their cycle challenges by helping them understand how the phases of their menstrual cycle are related to the myriad of symptoms that they`re suffering with. And I`m seeing lots of advice about syncing every aspect of their lives to better accommodate and alleviate their symptoms - what kind of food to eat, exercise to do, seeds to consume, beverages to avoid, work to take on or avoid - and on and on - who`s got time for this level of complexity in their lives?!

All of these symptoms are just that... symptoms of an underlying imbalance. We shouldn`t really need to live our lives around our cycles. We should feel mostly balanced and good, most of the time.

If you feel like to need to change your life and lifestyle to fit the phases of your cycle, you could benefit from an approach that addresses the root cause of your hormonal imbalances and leads to all of those cycle symptoms.

If you`d like to find out how we can help you even out your cycles and symptoms, schedule a free 15 minute consultation to talk with us about your symptoms and learn how we`d work to resolve them. Call 312-404-5882 or book via the link in bio.

🌟 Meet My Top 7 Hormone Balancing Supplements 🌟

Balanced hormones can be a game-changer for women for overall health and well-being. Here are my top 7 supplements that I reach for over and over to support hormone harmony:

Omega-3 Fatty Acids 🐟
These healthy fats reduce inflammation and support the production of sex hormones, promoting a healthy menstrual cycle. Omega-3s also improve chances of implantation for women who are trying to conceive and are critical for a developing fetus.

Magnesium 💧
Essential for stress management and sleep, magnesium helps regulate cortisol levels and supports overall hormone balance. It is also useful for blood sugar regulation, mitochondrial health, and thyroid health. So, just about everyone.

B-Vitamins 💊
B-vitamins are essential for energy production, stress management, and the synthesis of neurotransmitters, all of which contribute to hormonal health.

Vitamin D3 🌞
Crucial for hormone production, the sunshine vitamin supports thyroid function and mood regulation. It plays a role in regulating menstrual cycles and regulates inflammation.

Zinc 💪
Vital for thyroid health and immune function, zinc plays a key role in hormone production and balance. Zinc is often depleted from taking oral birth control pills and supplementation can help re-regulate when stopping.

NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) 🌿
NAC supports liver detoxification and the production of glutathione, aiding in hormone balance and reducing inflammation.

Vitamin C 🍊
This antioxidant helps reduce oxidative stress and supports adrenal function, which is crucial for balanced hormone levels.

In practice, I always recommend consulting with someone who can help you find the key supplements for your patterns.

🌞 Connection, Joy, and Play 🌞

These are the themes of Summer from a Chinese Medicine perspective. But what if you DON’T feel that way? What if you feel disconnected, depressed, and overwhelmed with all of your responsibilities? 😞

That’s where rebalancing your nervous system, your internal systems, and your perspective comes in. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine are EXCELLENT at providing you with RESOURCES to make changes—changes that you know you WANT but can’t quite seem to get there, because... exhaustion, overwhelm, fatigue.

Book yourself in for a session. Let’s help your body and mind remember how to function efficiently and proactively again. 🌿

We love a good sauna!

Saunas, especially the infrared variety, support health in a variety of ways. They are amazing for stress, circulation, and skin.

But, the number one reason we recommend regular saunas is because of their detoxification-promoting effects. Living in the toxic soup that is 2024, we could all use some extra detox support, amiright?

For women who are trying to conceive, regular saunas can improve egg quality and hormonal balance by supporting detoxification of endocrine disrupting chemicals. A sauna is beneficial during the period or before ovulation, but should be avoided once pregnancy is possible after ovulation.

How often do you use a sauna?

Pregnant mamas, this one’s for you! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Pelvic pain is a common complaint among the pregnant people we see in the clinic. According to the Mayo Clinic, hormonal changes lead to a loosening of the ligaments that stabilize the pelvis and can cause this frustrating pain. Add in the weight of a growing baby belly and the strain on your low back and pelvis can cause the pain to become difficult to manage.

Fortunately, regular acupuncture can help!

We use our tiny needles to restore proper alignment in the pelvis region and reduce muscle tension through the back and hips, which will reduce pain, and create optimal space for baby to grow! This approach relieves discomfort while also making sure your body is ready for smooth delivery.

Did you experience lower back and pelvic pain during pregnancy? If so, how did you manage it?
