💙 Thyroid Awareness Month 💙

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the neck that plays a major role in regulating metabolism, energy, temperature, hormones, and overall body function. When thyroid function is disrupted, it can affect multiple systems throughout the body.

🧠 Common Signs of Thyroid Imbalance:
• Persistent fatigue
• Unexplained weight gain or weight loss
• Cold or heat intolerance
• Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
• Hair thinning or hair loss
• Dry skin
• Mood changes
• Irregular menstrual cycles

🔬 Common Thyroid Conditions:
• Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)
• Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)
• Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
• Graves’ disease

🌿 Naturopathic Approach:
Naturopathic medicine focuses on identifying underlying contributors such as nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, stress, and digestive health. Care may include nutritional counseling, targeted supplementation, herbal medicine, and lifestyle support.

🪷 Acupuncture & TCM Support:
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, thyroid imbalances are often related to disruptions in Qi, Blood, Yin, or Yang. Acupuncture can help regulate the nervous system, support endocrine balance, reduce inflammation, and improve overall circulation.

Awareness, early evaluation, and individualized care are key components of thyroid health. If you have concerns or would like to explore integrative support options, our clinic is here to help.

🔥🐎 2026 — Year of the Fire Horse in Traditional Chinese Astrology

As we approach 2026, we move into the Year of the Fire Horse, a powerful and dynamic energy in Chinese astrology. Fire Horse years are known for courage, passion, change, and bold forward movement — a year that can spark transformation both personally and collectively.

In TCM philosophy, the Fire element represents heart, joy, spirit (Shen), and action, while the Horse symbolizes freedom, independence, and strong life force (Qi). Together, this creates a year filled with movement, motivation, and creative drive.

🔥 Themes of the Fire Horse Year:
• Increased momentum + ambition
• Desire for independence and authenticity
• Fiery emotions — passion, motivation, intensity
• Opportunities for growth, bold decisions, and new beginnings

🪷 How to Balance Fire Energy:
As fire rises, grounding becomes important. TCM recommends:
• Calming and heart-nourishing practices (meditation, acupuncture)
• Eating warming but not overstimulating foods — balance is key
• Restoring yin energy through rest, reflection, and hydration
• Mindfulness around stress and emotional heat

2026 may be a year to step into your power — but with balance, intention, and heart-centered alignment.

As we move closer to this energetic shift, we invite you to continue nurturing your health with TCM, acupuncture, and mindful seasonal care.

Glucose Challenge Test (GCT) for Pregnancy ✨

If you’re between 24–28 weeks pregnant, your provider will likely recommend the Glucose Challenge Test. This important screening helps check how your body is handling sugar and looks for early signs of gestational diabetes — which can affect both mom and baby if left unmanaged.

💛 What’s actually in the glucose drink?
The common “glucola” drink usually contains:
• Dextrose (glucose) – the sugar your body needs to process for the test
• Water
• Preservatives like sodium benzoate
• Citric acid
• Food dyes and flavoring (varies by brand)

There is a natural alternative called The Fresh Test — a clean, dye-free option made with simple ingredients like crystallized lemon, organic cane sugar, and organic mint. Many moms prefer it because it’s easier on the stomach and doesn’t contain the preservatives or artificial dyes found in the traditional glucola drink.

Interested in trying it? Stop by our office to grab The Fresh Test for your glucose screening!
