Ep. 58/How Chinese Medicine and FAM can support Period Recovery

May 30

In today's episode, we sit down with Holly, a past client, a certified acupuncturist who shares her remarkable journey from missing periods + eating disorders to regular healthy cycles !

Holly opens up about her experience with birth control, having been on and off it for over a decade.
Seeking alternatives, she delved into Chinese medicine, hoping to restore her period without facing potential weight gain, a common concern with Hormonal Amenorrhea (HA).

Navigating Challenges:

Despite her efforts, Holly found herself in and out of eating disorder treatment centers, where she would regain her period only to lose it again.
Frustrated but determined, she discovered the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM), an approach to understanding and tracking fertility cycles.

Holly emphasizes how FAM became a pivotal tool in her journey, allowing her to stay attuned to her body's needs in terms of exercise, nutrition, and rest.
As an acupuncturist, she acknowledges the supportive role of Chinese Medicine in recovery but underscores that it doesn't directly address Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA).

Living Fully Recovered:

Now fully recovered, Holly shares the profound impact it has had on her life, from flourishing in her acupuncture practice to embracing motherhood and reclaiming a sense of vitality.
She reflects on how being in tune with her body through FAM has been instrumental in her overall well-being.
