Ask Dr. Bri Chmilar

“What are some overlooked signs of hormone imbalance?”

Great question! Usually I don’t see one big symptom. It’s a bunch of little things that slowly become your “normal.”

Painful periods.
Feeling exhausted no matter how much you sleep.
Mood changes before your cycle.
Emotionally overwhelmed
Uncontrollable Bloating
Acne, headaches, spotting, anxiety.

A lot of women have been living in survival mode for so long that they forget what feeling good actually feels like.

In acupuncture, we don’t just look at these symptoms separately, we look at the patterns behind them. The goal is to support the body as a whole and help bring it back into balance.

It might look unfamiliar, but it feels like an exhale.

Acupuncture is deeply calming, grounding, and restorative in a way that’s hard to explain until you experience it yourself. Many people are surprised by just how relaxed they feel during and after a session.

If you’ve been curious, consider this your sign to come in and feel the difference firsthand.

As acupuncturists who work with PMOS/PCOS regularly in clinic, this shift feels like very welcome news.

For years, the name “Polycystic O***y Syndrome” placed most of the focus on the ovaries, despite many patients experiencing symptoms that extend far beyond that:

* insulin resistance
* irregular ovulation
* fatigue
* acne
* inflammation
* blood sugar dysregulation
* fertility challenges
* nervous system and mental health impacts

Not everyone with the condition even has ovarian cysts.

The updated term, PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome), better reflects the complex, whole-body nature of what so many women are actually experiencing.

We’re hopeful this shift leads to:

* earlier diagnosis
* broader conversations around hormonal health
* more comprehensive care
* and patients feeling more seen and understood in their symptoms

This feels like a meaningful step forward in women’s health. 🙌

Fertility isn’t just about hormones. It’s about the state your body is in.

When your nervous system is stuck in stress mode, it can impact ovulation, hormone signaling, and blood flow to the reproductive organs.

This is where acupuncture can help.

By supporting your nervous system and shifting your body into a more regulated, “rest and digest” state, we’re creating the internal environment your body needs to function optimally.

Whether you’re trying to conceive or simply feeling the effects of chronic stress, this work matters.

If this resonates, book a complimentary meet & greet with one of our board certified acupuncturists, we’d love to connect!
