has a new bundle! The menopausal bundle:

Menopause is more than hot flashes. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, this bundle of natural herbal supplements supports the symptoms women experience: disrupted sleep, mood swings, stress, brain fog, and changes in metabolism. Helping you feel calm, balanced, rested, and like yourself again, so you can thrive during your “Second Spring.” Also designed for perimenopause.

I’m so excited to try this new bundle! I’m so looking forward to sleeping better, feeling more relaxed during the day, and getting these cravings under control. If these products are anything like the balance cycle has been for me, I’m in for some awesome healing!

New Sample!

We have a new product that we are sampling in the clinic. The product is called JING, and it is so delicious! I’ve tried it on a spoon and loved it. It would be really tasty on some toast too. Learn more about this product below.

JING is for those who:

• Chronically feels burnt out, or “wired but tired”
• Looking for an easy, tasty, powerful recovery and Adrenal support formula
• Want to retain vigor as they age
• Prefer the taste of “food as medicine” vs. traditional herbals
• Want to support mitochondrial health & longevity

This is a safe food-as-medicine support and is intended to be enjoyed and used as needed.
Try it by the spoonful or mix in hot milk of your choice to make a delicious sesame-latte. Add to your hot or blended beverages for a tasty nutrient boost. Some of our customers also use it as a spread on toast or cracker.

Cautions: Jing contains sesame. Jing contains honey, and should not be given to children under 2. Jing is processed in a facility that also processes common allergens like soybeans, tree nuts, shellfish, or wheat. Do not exceed 2 tsp daily if pregnant.

If you’re able to try a sample before they are gone, let me know what you think so I’ll know if it’s a product I should carry in the clinic!

Did you know 90% of women’s lives are disrupted by menstrual symptoms every month? However, only 4% of U.S. healthcare research and development goes towards women’s health. Women are taught to believe it’s “just part of having a menstrual cycle,” so we mask the pain with medication, alter our hormones with synthetic birth control, or cancel our plans and simply suffer.

Your hormone health can impact every aspect of your life and menstrual cycle from the severity of your cramps to your energy levels, metabolism, mental health, acne, digestive health, and more. Supporting your hormone health requires a holistic approach through diet and lifestyle changes. These changes are hard and can be frustrating, because there is so much conflicting information out there – I know from experience. I decided to try - a company that combines Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern clinical research to develop natural health remedies that are organic and effective in supporting the root cause of these issues.

Elix, like all Chinese Medicine, is not a one size fits all solution. I highly recommend taking the online health assessment to discover the blend of organic herbs that are best for you and your hormone-related symptoms. It can make the whole process faster, easier, and help you better understand your body and its needs. Elix is not only great for those with menstrual cycles, but also for those in perimenopause and menopause.

I always try things out before I refer them to patients, so I am excited to see the changes in my body in the next 3 months. There is a link in my bio that saves 15% off your order if you want to join me on my journey, but be sure to take the online health assessment to get the formula that is best for you! If you do join me, please let me know and share your progress!
