Unfortunately, PCOS has an impact beyond reproductive health. PCOS is also tied to a higher risk for other problems including Type 2 diabetes, tendency to high cholesterol, and mental health issues like depression and anxiety. The good news is that with a knowledgeable and caring partner, you can improve your fertility and put yourself on a healthier trajectory. PCOS is best addressed by a personalized comprehensive plan. This is where Chinese and integrative medicine shine!

Chinese medicine sees the end of menstruation as a wise preservation of resources. Ideally, as a woman’s body winds down monthly hormonal cycling, this allows her access to steady, even energy. Unfortunately, the ride is not always so smooth! As a woman’s reproductive hormones shift throughout her 40’s, symptoms like brain fog, weight gain, irritability and hot flashes can cause disruption and reduced quality of life. Acupuncture is validated by research to significantly reduce hot flashes. Jeannie helps you assess your current symptoms and offers a path forward with a combination of acupuncture, nutrition, herbs, or supplements. These natural therapies can stand alone or be combined with HRT from your doctor if necessary. Navigated well, a woman can step into stability, health, and a newfound sense of creativity in the second half of her life.

Our health rests on the nutrients we eat, how much our gut absorbs, and the fuel we give the good bacteria who serve our best interests. Chinese medicine has declared the primacy of the gut from its inception around 220 AD. The famed physician Li-Dong-yuan (1180-1251 CE) developed theories connecting digestion as a key determinant in treating many chronic problems. He also highlighted the important relationship between stress and digestive dysfunction. (In this way, ancient physicians knew about the gut-brain axis long before the scientific era). Medical science has made a huge push to understand the connections between our gut and our body systems over the past 20 years. The Human Microbiome Project, started in 2007, has yielded mountains of data on the organisms that modulate our health. ‘New’ terms have emerged to describe how our body systems interconnect. For example: Gut-brain axis describes the connection between our microbes and nervous system and brain function Gut-lung axis describes the communication between gut microbes, our lungs and respiratory conditions or immune function Immune system--Research indicates that about 70% of our immune system resides in the tissues of our gut, playing a pivotal role in our immune regulation If you suffer from digestive problems like IBS, bloating, or acid reflux there are so many tools to improve your health. Let’s use this influx of science alongside the steadfast observation of Chinese medicine to best optimize digestive and immune balance.

Women suffering from unexplained infertility, irregular cycles, short cycles, repeated pregnancy loss, endometriosis, diminished ovarian reserve, and PCOS can all benefit from a treatment plan. Male partners are half the equation and their health is vitally important! Proactive male partners can capitalize on their contribution using nutrition, supplements, lifestyle, acupuncture and/or herbs to make the healthiest embryo possible. Acupuncture is a gem for boosting and regulating reproductive function. Treatments yield increased blood flow to reproductive organs, a reduction in stress hormones (which can run interference on our reproductive hormones) and a wonderful feeling of ease after sessions. Herbal medicine addresses specific imbalances and improves body function. We use herbal medicine for many reproductive conditions. Think of herbs as one step up from food--like a multivitamin from the plant kingdom.
