THE POWER OF ACUPUNCTURE DURING MENOPAUSE

It was obvious for me at age 42 that I was in the throes of perimenopause. That transition triggered the onset of the autoimmune condition, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (the most common one in the world!) and created a ton of hormonal chaos for me! I suffered for about a year before realizing I had a lot more POWER than I'd at first realized to help my body transition with more ease.

ONE of the tools I started implementing that gave me a great deal of relief was regular Acupuncture therapy. 

Luckily, I’m a Dr of Acupuncture, so it was easy to give myself treatments regularly!

But I could help you too with Acupuncture as you go through the natural transition of perimenopause (which listen, can last a decade or more!) and into the, hopefully, decades of post-menopause.

For most women, the entire menopausal transition throws the female body into a whirlwind of changes, and I've seen time and again (and experienced personally) how modern medicine alone typically isn't enough.

Acupuncture offers you a gentle, personalized way to ease the huge array of symptoms. And I uniquely blend the ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with the more modern Functional Medicine’s insights to get even more benefits from the amazing TCM Acupuncture tool.

I want to share with you how my unique integrative health care approach can support your YOUnique wellness goals, especially when navigating life’s natural hormonal transitions as a woman. I've got your back, girlfriend!

ACUPUNCTURE: ANCIENT PRACTICE, MODERN BENEFITS 

Acupuncture, an 3000 year old practice, continues to shine in modern health care.

It involves inserting thin needles into specific points on your body, in patterns, to help balance energy. This method of influencing human chemistry and energy isn't just about ancient wisdom; it has proven benefits like reducing pain and stress by impacting every organ and system in the body, especially your nervous system.

Imagine finding relief from hot flashes or headaches (and more) without relying solely on medication! 

Life is obviously BETTER without those interruptions to life. Acupuncture can help with this by stimulating nerves and surrounding tissues and triggering the release of chemicals that ease the discomfort. 

BLENDING TCM & FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

Integrative health, as I have come to uniquely practice it at AcuPlus Wellness Clinic, merges my 24+ years of TCM practice with 11+ years of Functional Medicine practice, all to enhance my patients' wellbeing. 

TCM focuses on balancing the energy flow of all your organ systems, while Functional Medicine digs into how your body works on a cellular level to help restore balance. Together, they offer a more complete picture of your YOUnique state of health and shine a light on better paths to regain wellness. 

My approach involves a lot of time looking at your environment, lifestyle, diet, stress levels, and mindset, with the aim to help you become more balanced so that you create a healthy life that spans decades. It’s more than just treating symptoms; it’s about finding the root causes and finding ways to either manage them or manage the consequences long term with things you can do yourself, leaving the bigger stuff in the hands of geeks like me.

Most people think health is about fixing what's broken. But you're not broken! You just need support to build resilience instead!

By blending TCM's holistic view with the more modern, research-based Functional medicine ideals and techniques, I can help you address both current health issues and prevent future ones. This unique holistic care model involves the creation of a customized and personalized path to vitality and ultimately, a longer health span.

At AcuPlus, I usually combine regular Acupuncture sessions with Wellness Consultations to ensure the health plan can be adjusted as your body changes. Acupuncture sessions alone though can be very effective.

Women often think they must choose between traditional and modern medicine. But what if you could harness the strengths of both?

My integrative approach allows you to tackle the menopausal transition with a full toolkit - the best from both TCM and Functional medicine - addressing not just symptoms but the underlying causes of those symptoms.

SUPPORTING WOMEN’S HEALTH THROUGH THE TRANSITIONS

Life changes, like the menopausal transition years, can be very challenging for most women. Luckily, Acupuncture is one exceptional tool in my big toolbox that supports these transitions by addressing symptoms like mood swings and fatigue at their roots. It offers a natural way to cope, promoting emotional and physical balance, while you navigate the natural transition of perimenopause into post-menopause.

Many women, sadly, still struggle alone and often in silence, believing their symptoms are just part of the process. 

But imagine having expert guidance using supportive tools wielded based on a respect for your body's natural signals and that help you through each stage! That's the world I try to curate for my patients every day! It's what I would want in your shoes.

The regular use of Acupuncture therapy can empower you to embrace these natural shifts in your body with far more confidence. 

And speaking with me about WHAT and WHY things are changing for you, can enlighten you to the newest science and philosophies of aging as a woman, thus giving you a sense of trust and confidence that you can sail through these transitions with far more ease.

You don’t have to let menopausal symptoms control your life, my friend! I promise.

Acupuncture helps your body self-regulate the chaotic hormonal changes, offering a drug-free and very relaxing alternative. 

PERSONALIZED CARE AT ACUPLUS WELLNESS CLINIC 

Many medical clinics offer generic solutions; standards of care that treat you like other women in your age group. 

I do not work this way.

Every woman is YOUnique and therefore, every YOUnique woman should be helped in unique ways too.

My clinic offers you a sanctuary where your health concerns are heard and addressed with high-touch care.

I work with my patients to create customized, personalized strategies that consider your specific symptoms and lifestyle and goals. Whether it’s Acupuncture alone, or Acupuncture paired with dietary adjustments, stress management, sleep tips, and more, I craft a plan with you that can fit your life and goals and that can be adapted as you change.

This is NOT one-and-done medicine. That is a wish. It doesn’t exist. If you want genuine health care and lasting relief, personalized care is the way to go.

Healing is a team sport and I'd love to be your Guide on the Side to help you Heal by Design!
