👶🔬 Unveiling the Science Behind Acupuncture for Breech Babies - my new blog is out!

Ever wondered how ancient practices meet modern science? Dive into our latest blog to explore the fascinating science behind using acupuncture to correct breech presentations. 🧐

Acupuncture, a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is more than just tradition—it's backed by a scientific approach that enhances blood flow and balances Qi, especially in the pelvic area. This can encourage your little one to assume the optimal position for birth. 🤰✨

🌟 Let's talk about the 'hot' topic of menopause and perimenopause swirling around NZ right now. 🔥

Have you come across Menopause tests and been tempted to try one?
Here's the deal: estrogen surges and drops individually and inconsistently in perimenopause. That’s something to think about before taking a test which is just catching whatever moment you are in - not truly a big picture of what is going on. 📉📈

🤔 Sometimes, you might feel all the perimenopausal symptoms but find your estrogen levels are actually high when tested. This confusion often happens between ages 35-52.

Remember, menopause officially starts after a full year without a period.
🌀 In that transition phase, you might notice changes like shorter or longer cycles, brain fog, weight shifts, maybe even hot flashes or night sweats. 🌪️💤
🌿 While HRT is an option, there are many natural routes to explore first or alongside. It's fantastic we're talking more about this and that more solutions are popping up.

Just watch out for those 'miracle cures' some might try to sell! 🚫🐍
📅 For those charting this journey, consider asking your GP to run a hormone panel on the 2nd or 3rd day of your cycle, checking levels of FSH, estrogen, LH, testosterone, TSH, and why not add vitamin D and iron? It's crucial, especially since changing estrogen can impact your bones and iron levels.
