Each week I have patients saying to me: “I’m dealing with xyz and I think it’s my hormones.”
To which I tell them – You’re right.
Your body’s physiology is managed through a group effort between your nervous system and your endocrine system (the system in charge of hormones). Which means that your hormones always have a role in your health.
The body is an ecosystem. A weakness in one body system can create downstream impact on another, including the nervous and endocrine system. AND the root of one person’s hormone imbalance will be different from another person’s. It can stem from one or several sources: wrong diet for YOU, history of illness causing digestive weakness, exposure to environmental toxins causing liver inefficiency, unprocessed emotions, genetic predisposition…
The good news is – Even when there is chronic inflammation, even when you’ve struggled with bad PMS your entire life, even when the journey seems imbalanced by design as you navigate (peri)menopause, even when your mom had the worst hot flashes ever and you’re starting to experience the same, even if you’re struggling to strike the right balance with hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and especially if you can’t or don’t want to do HRT – Relief is possible.
The great news is acupuncture and Chinese medicine are powerful for calming the nervous system, metabolizing challenging emotions, rebalancing the digestion, supporting the liver, augmenting body systems that are weak and creating the groundwork for a balanced endocrine system and addressing the uncomfortable symptoms of hormonal transition.
