A 12-Month Hormone Health Transformation with Acupuncture & Holistic Nutrition

.

If you’ve ever felt like your hormones are controlling your life instead of supporting it, this story is for you.

One of my patients came to me last year feeling completely out of sync with her body. She had been diagnosed with PCOS and hadn’t had a menstrual cycle in months. Stress was high, sleep was broken, and she was stuck in a loop of using sugar and carbs to cope with fatigue and intense cravings.

.

She was also struggling with:

• Persistent acne and facial hair

• Low B12 and iron levels

• High A1C and blood glucose on lab work

• Emotional overwhelm and physical exhaustion

• Irregular bowel movements (less than 1 BM per day)

.

We started where I always begin ~ with the nervous system. I supported her with a personalized nutrition plan and calming acupuncture treatments to reduce stress and improve her sleep. Once she began sleeping more deeply and waking with a bit more energy, the cravings eased.

From there, her menstrual cycle returned naturally and her PMS symptoms continued to resolve.

We then moved into gentle detoxification, making sure her elimination pathways (bowels, liver, lymph) were open and moving. This step is often skipped, but it’s essential for hormone balance – especially in cases of estrogen dominance, acne, or PCOS.

With her blood sugar stabilized and her digestion functioning properly, we were finally able to focus on more targeted hormone-balancing therapies, customized to her body. She also switched to hormone-safe skincare and began cosmetic acupuncture to calm inflammation and support skin healing from the inside out.

.

Today, just 12 months later:

✅ Her acne is 90% cleared
✅ She has a consistent, healthy monthly cycle
✅ Cravings and emotional eating are no longer controlling her
✅ Her facial hair has resolved
✅ She’s lost excess inflammation and body fat naturally
✅ And she’s feeling calm, confident, and in control of her health again

.

This transformation didn’t come from a quick fix – it was a strategic plan with consistent effort and support every step of the way.

If you’re struggling with your hormones, energy, skin, or stress and wondering where to start – I’m here to help.

I offer acupuncture and hormone nutrition support in person and online and work with women experiencing PCOS, perimenopause, acne, fatigue, cravings, and anxiety.
