Deepak Chopra wrote about the flip side of doubt and uncertainty. He says that if there is a chance that something could fail, that it automatically means there is a chance it could succeed as well.

Nature is on your side. The future holds infinite possibility. Learn to receive this nature and future of infinite possibility.

Fall is the season of letting go of the past. It is very hard for Wood types (people with Liver and Gall Bladder TCM patterns) and easier for Metal types (Lung and Colon TCM patterns).

Acupuncture and herbal medicine can help if you are having trouble letting go of the past and embracing a new story for your life.

We can give birth to babies, ideas, and nations. Many labored to give birth to our free country the USA. I hope you can find some gratitude for living in this country, and contribute to it’s ongoing development. It’s a fairly young country but working together through the generations, we can raise this nation up to fulfill its true potential in freedom, sovereignty, and independence.

Your body is part of who you are. It is not the enemy. It does not hate you. Love your body, listen to its needs, let symptoms speak to you as clues for guidance. These are the secrets of Chinese medicine. They can change your life. I can help. Start with loving yourself. If you cannot, I can help with that, too. 🤗

2022 denotes the year of the Yang Water Tiger. Here’s what it means:

TIGER
Tiger signals a need to accomplish and work, so this year is an auspicious time to act on one’s goals that came out of the visions from the previous years of the Ox 2021 and Rat 2020. Personality traits include being careful, powerful, direct, and attractive.

WATER
The nature of water is to flow and receive what comes to it—including changes.

It provides us with great endurance and will support the active, pioneering energy of 2022.

Water will absorb and resonate, tending to hold a lot of emotion—particularly Fear which can overwhelm, creating inaction. Be sure to ground yourself, so Water is contained in Earth like a pond.

Water is traditionally associated with the color black, thus 2022 is called a Black Tiger year.

YANG
Yang is about moving forward, decision and action. This year is a time to begin manifesting what you would like to happen over the next 10 years. Yang energy will multiply Tiger energy.

For me, Year of the Black Tiger means expanding my love for helping change lives, beyond medicine 👩‍⚕️🩺to real estate! 🏠

Follow me as I sharpen an old skill to help families find their dream homes!

Resilience, not absence of fear, is the birthplace of living courageously.

The ability to bounce back from life’s slings and arrows is essential to living the life you were meant to live.

We cannot change what has happened to you, but we can change how it has impacted you.

What would you do with your life if you were tapped in to unlimited healing?

Chances are, you have not yet begun to tap your resources for healing.

Maybe it’s time to start exploring more of the options available to you?

Attention diet and exercise ladies! If you are overweight, underweight, or changing weight rapidly—AND having hormone issues—this post is for YOU!

Hormone levels are like a dashboard reading on your health. You wouldn’t start out on a long road trip with no gas, and your body doesn’t want to travel down the reproductive road without enough fuel.

How does your body know you have enough fuel? That it  can afford to loose blood in a monthly period? That it can fuel your body PLUS another inside you?

LEPTIN
Your body produces a signaling molecule which tells your brain when there is enough fuel. That signaling hormone is called leptin.

HUNGER & HORMONES
You may know leptin as the hormone that controls hunger. But leptin’s signaling action for hormones and fertility is completely separate from the way that it controls appetite and metabolism.

BALANCED
Leptin is secreted by your adipose (fat) tissue. When you have plenty of fat tissue, leptin levels are high, hunger is satisfied, and the body is clear to be fertile.

If leptin does NOT get to the brain, you feel hungry no matter what you eat, and you may have problems with periods or pregnancy.

What prevents leptin from signaling your brain?

IMBALANCED
The 3 primary reasons leptin is not signaling your brain to make hormones are
👉Too little adipose tissue
👉Too much adipose tissue
👉Sudden changes affecting adipose tissue

LEPTIN & FERTILITY
Can high or low leptin affect your ovaries? Yes!  Leptin signals the ovaries. Additionally, leptin IN the ovarian follicles needs to be at the right amount. Too high of leptin levels in the follicles is linked to decreased fertility.

Leptin signals the hypothalamus in the brain, which signals the pituitary to make FSH and LH. As one study states, “Serum leptin levels are a critical link between sufficient nutrition and the function of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis.”

TEST, DON’T GUESS
If you are unsure whether low leptin (or high leptin insensitivity)  is causing hormone or fertility problems, you can get a simple, inexpensive blood test done to check your leptin levels.

I’d like to tell you a little secret about how much zinc I take.

It averages 150 mg daily!

Well above the 5 mg in those lozenges!

It’s because I eat NUTRIENT DENSE foods.

Zinc is HUGELY beneficial to overall vitality and fertility. It helps many systems in your body. I am healing leaky gut, and maintaining hormone levels of a 30 year old (at age 51) by ovulating the last of my nonviable egg reserves to get progesterone.

Fertility is important at ALL ages, and even if you do NOT want a baby. So . . .

Foods loaded with zinc include seafood, red meat, poultry, whole grains, and fortified cereals. Oysters are the food that contains the highest amount of zinc.

But wait!

40 mg per day for adults is the upper intake level (UL) for zinc set by health authorities. And just a 3-oz serving of oysters contains a whopping 493% of the daily value!

So can you eat too much?

Not really. There are NO reported cases of zinc poisoning from naturally occurring zinc in food . . . But you CAN get zinc poisoning from dietary supplements!

Taking zinc lozenges every 2 hours to fight a cold is one example. Doses greater than 220 mg/day or 300 mg for 6 weeks in a treatment protocol, can cause zinc overdose.

What happens if you take too much zinc?

With acute ingestion of high doses of zinc, gastrointestinal symptoms are likely.

Vomiting
stomach pain
diarrhea
intestinal bleeding
metallic taste
flu-like symptoms, such as fever, chills, cough, headache and fatigue

Long term overdosing of zinc can cause
Iron deficient anemia (low red blood cells)
Neutropenia (low white blood cells)
Reduced immunity
Lower T-cell function
lower your “good” HDL cholesterol levels

When looking for nutritional support for epic health or optimizing fertility, you cannot go wrong with food sources like you can too much from supplements.

Now, do you want those oysters fresh, smoked, or Rockefeller?

Sleep is the drumbeat of your hormonal symphony.

Your hormones need to rise and fall at the right levels and the right time like an orchestra playing a complicated sonata. The conductor of this orchestra is GnRH with melatonin in the percussion section helping with the tempo; LH and FSH are important soloists, coming in at just the right time.

Melatonin regulates gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), one of the key players in your reproductive hormones. GnRH, in turn, is in control of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicular stimulating hormone (FSH), both of which are vital to ovulation.

Women with PCOS who struggled with fertility participated in a six-month trial with supplemental melatonin. The results showed that melatonin regulated the reproductive hormones (FSH, anti-Müllerian, and androgens) and restored the menstrual cycle for many of the women.
- PMID: 28558523

A study of over one hundred women undergoing IVF found that 3 mg of melatonin each night increased fertilization rates by 30%.
- PMID: 28558523

A large IVF trial in women with PCOS found that a combination of melatonin and myo-inositol increased in-vitro fertilization rates.
- PMID: 26507336

Supplemental melatonin is available in timed-release capsules ranging from 300 mcg to 5 mg.  While most of the trials for fertility used doses of 3 mg/night, people tolerate melatonin supplements differently. Some report side effects of headaches, slight nausea, or grogginess after taking too much melatonin. This may be something that you want to try on a weekend, and you may need to try several different doses to find the right fit for your body. Work with a qualified healthcare provider.

Friday Vibes! The Fire Element needs celebration and joy energy. It fuels the functions of brain activity, heart and circulation, sleep, and hormone communication from the brain to the adrenals and reproductive glands.

What can you take joy in this weekend to fuel your Fire?

I will be gardening with my fiancé Robert, cooking, checking out the gun show at the state fairgrounds, and getting a farm fresh delivery from .

Happy weekend!

Did you know Easter celebrates New Life with fabulous fertility foods?

Resurrecting your vitality to create new life was an ancient springtime holiday tradition.

It was later adapted to celebrate the Christian holiday of Resurrection Sunday.

Today’s Easter foods are still eggs, lamb, and carrots for the Easter Bunny!

🐣Eggs are nutrient dense fertility foods. They are a rich source of choline, recently touted as relevant as folic acid when it comes to healthy pregnancy.

🐑 Lamb is a powerful Yang food.
🐖 Ham is a powerful Yin food.
☯️ You need both Yin and Yang to make life-giving Qi.

🥕Carrots are loaded with zinc, which makes for a high octane sort of s***m production! Zinc is good for egg maturation and thyroid demands of pregnancy, so mamas should eat them too!

🐰While rabbits are a fertility symbol for new life, nothing makes me feel as renewed as an alignment with ☀️Christ Consciouness☀️.

I hope you have something to align your hearts, minds, and bodies with that gives you health, vitality, and renewal.

Love,
Dr Amy
