How to create or restore a healthy menstrual cycle

How to create or restore a healthy menstrual cycle! 👇⁠
.⁠
For most women, we can restore a healthy cycle by 80% within 3 months. We do this with treatment that includes:⁠
.⁠
1️⃣A precise diagnosis in Chinese and functional medicine that identifies the root cause of the cycle imbalance. This is also called a constitutional diagnosis.⁠
.⁠
2️⃣Acupuncture 1-2 times a week with a women’s reproductive specialist (we can help you find one if you’re not in Monterey or Santa Cruz).⁠
.⁠
3️⃣Customized herbal formulas (blended tinctures) that change according to your cycle, divided into: bleeding (day 1-4), follicular (day 5-14) and luteal (day 15-28).⁠
.⁠
4️⃣Collecting your data and then relaxing. Relaxing means letting us take care of healing your cycle so you can let go of worry, and rest up. The data we collect includes:⁠
.⁠
📌Basal body temperature.⁠
📌Observing cervical mucus.⁠
📌In some cases testing ovulation. ⁠
📌Specific lifestyle medicine for healthy nutrition, stress management, sleep and movement.⁠
.⁠
We also treat any related conditions, such as hypothyroid, low or high adrenal hormones, gut dysbiosis, or inflammation.⁠

What exactly is a healthy menstrual cycle? 🤔⁠

What exactly is a healthy menstrual cycle? 🤔⁠
.⁠
In my work with women, the clinical goal is for each and every woman to have a healthy menstrual cycle. It’s actually normal to have a healthy cycle, and if you don’t, it's a sign that there are things to fix!⁠
.⁠
Restoring a healthy menstrual cycle is also the fastest and best way to optimize your fertility and have a successful conception.⁠
.⁠
So, let’s get precise about what defines a healthy cycle, which is our clinical goal for each woman!👇⁠
.⁠
✴️Your period.⁠
You bleed for four days, with no cramping, clotting or spotting. Your flow needs one tampon, pad, or Diva cup every four hours. You don’t need painkillers, heating pads, or have to miss work.⁠
.⁠
✴️Your basal body temperature.⁠
During your follicular phase (cycle day 1-14) it averages between 97.2 – 97.4. Basal body temperature in your luteal phase (cycle 14-28) averages 98.2 or higher.⁠
.⁠
✴️Your ovulation.⁠
Happens on day 14 with abundant stretchy cervical mucus.⁠
.⁠
✴️Premenstrual.⁠
You have no PMS (breast tenderness, irritability, bloating, etc) and you’re surprised when you start your period if you’re not paying attention to the calendar.⁠

At the end of 2020, I sent out a survey about what you might like to learn from me in 2021. You answered and I paid attention!👇⁠
.⁠
My first gift to you is a FREE root-cause guide to hormone balance. This is for all the women I talk to on a weekly basis who suspect their hormones are off-balance and get one of these responses from their doctor:⁠
.⁠
❌Offer of birth control pills until you are ready to conceive.⁠
❌Blank stare.⁠
❌Prescription for an antidepressant.⁠
❌Eye roll.⁠
❌A lecture that these symptoms are normal and you'll have to just live with them.⁠
❌Told it's all in your head.⁠
.⁠
Yup, in 2021 these are STILL common responses that women in the U.S. get from their doctors. There are many reasons for this... none very sensible or acceptable.⁠
.⁠
Women today are too smart and savvy to put up with these answers from professionals. My mission is to help you take charge of your hormones in these tangible ways:⁠
.⁠
✅Getting the right labs.⁠
✅Receiving a thorough assessment.⁠
✅Identifying the root causes.⁠
✅Discovering safe, evidence-based, natural solutions that work (food, nutrition, herbs, and supplements).⁠

Don’t worry, I was super careful!

The TOP 3️⃣ triggers of autoimmune diseases.⁠
.⁠
In most cases, there is something (or things) in your environment that flipped the switch of your autoimmune process. The path to turning off that switch involves identifying and resolving these very same environmental triggers.⁠
.⁠
👉This is possible to do, and the sooner the better!👈⁠
.⁠
Think of triggers as things that cause inflammation and confuse your immune system. Rooting out inflammatory triggers is first and foremost in quelling the autoimmune process.⁠
.⁠
These are the top 3 autoimmune triggers:⁠
.⁠
✴️Dysglycemia⁠
This is when your blood sugar is either too high or too low. It turns out that both low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and high blood sugar (insulin resistance) cause inflammation.⁠
.⁠
To test for dysglycemia you can do so yourself by purchasing a glucometer and testing your blood sugar before and after meals or by having a lab test for fasting glucose, insulin, hemoglobin A1c, and C-peptide.⁠
.⁠
✴️Food Intolerance.⁠
This is when your adaptive immune system tags food particles as antigens and mounts an attack against them. Truth be told this can happen with any food, but the three most common are arguably gluten, dairy, and eggs.⁠
.⁠
To test for food intolerances, use a reputable blood test that measures immune responses to common foods, like the KMBO Food Inflammation Test. Or, do an elimination and provocation diet.⁠
.⁠
✴️Stress⁠
You make stress hormones as a “fight or flight” response, which is natural. However, this response should settle down when you’re out of danger. When a stressor is prolonged, so is your stress response, which dysregulates your adrenal hormones and causes inflammation.⁠
.⁠
The best test for stress is undoubtedly the Dutch Adrenal test. If your results come back and you find that stress is your trigger, work towards reducing the stress that is in your control⁠
and take adrenal adaptogen herbs.⁠
.⁠
