Cycle & Hormone Health

Hormone regulation with the help of acupuncture and functional medicine

Your period is a vital sign

Our periods have so much to tell us, and for centuries Chinese Medicine has understood the period and menstrual cycle to be reflected in whole body health. We consider the length of the cycle, the color of menstrual blood, amount of flow, mood changes and the nature of period pain to give us insight into hormone health and overall wellness. Western medicine now recognizes this too, declaring the menstrual cycle a vital sign and placing it alongside other key indicators of health like blood pressure and temperature.

western science and Chinese Medicine wisdom.

Common does not mean normal

It’s time to reframe our conversation around hormones and period health.

In our culture, we tend to accept that period pain and PMS are just part of life and that the birth control pill is the only solution. But your cycle is important – it’s your body communicating information. You deserve to feel good in your body, and taking the time to understand what your hormones are really saying and care for the whole person can make all the difference. You shouldn’t have to dread your period or rearrange your life around it.

Acupuncture is a gentle, yet powerful way to nudge hormones back into rhythm at every stage of life

From puberty to menopause, acupuncture offers a natural way to support reproductive health by regulating periods, balancing hormones, improving insulin sensitivity, and reducing stress. Acupuncture is particularly helpful for painful periods, heavy bleeding, endometriosis, long or short cycles, PCOS, missing periods, fibroids, cysts, and PMS symptoms like menstrual migraines, breast tenderness, bloating and more.

The impact of three months

Chinese Medicine has long considered three months to be the minimum amount of time needed to regulate the menstrual cycle and address hormonal health. In my practice, a three-month foundation also gives us time to integrate multiple therapies to get you feeling better faster. In addition to acupuncture and herbs, we can bring in functional medicine principles like liver detox and microbiome support as well as cycle tracking tools and lab testing when needed.

Anne has helped me so much with my hormones! My PMS got really bad in college and then my cycle began getting really unpredictable. I was offered birth control but I really wanted to understand what was going on because I felt like it might be connected to other symptoms. Anne helped me make sense of my tracking apps and ordered the most comprehensive set of labs and actually explained the results! My cycles are back on track and I feel so much better. Whenever I feel like my PMS is coming back I go back to the tricks I have from working with Anne and things resolve. I highly recommend working with Anne! -J.B
