This month on the blog I did a Q+A with s*x, love and relationship coach Savannah Freemyer. Intimacy is a fraught topic with many of my fertility patients as well as my peri and menopause patients. Check it out! (There's a fun meditation too.)

Let's face it, s*x can be rote, especially if you're trying to conceive. Use these tips to discover what you're really looking for and how to start by making yourself feel good.

The fertility struggle is always painful, but one of the most horrific and heartbreaking things I've had to witness with my patients is stillbirth. I love what this group is doing, which is especially helpful in the KC area where our fetal and infant mortality rates are high. We need more education! https://www.kcur.org/health/2025-03-19/these-kansas-city-women-have-spent-20-years-learning-how-to-stop-infants-from-dying?fbclid=IwY2xjawJJC65leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHWA8loebzRctfD-qf5jVI6j7x3QRw8SJasuag2sqJ1Cp0IldPgnAZiKbMg_aem_Mbm8khxDoXJ1kiwMuv3hFA

I am thrilled to announce that I am newly certified in integrative and functional nutrition. My schedule is now open for booking nutrition counseling appointments (in person or online) or to add on nutrition counseling to traditional acupuncture treatments. Food is truly medicine. If you're experiencing gut issues, fertility challenges, cardiometabolic problems or autoimmune symptoms, you need a deep dive into nutrition and related factors that may be causing/contributing to symptoms.

I'm excited to have the lead story on HealthCentral.com right now about obesity and metabolism. It's a tricky relationship that can be really frustrating. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can certainly help with regulating metabolism and digestion and with weight loss. But I always rely on other integrative "tools" as well, including exercise, nutrition changes, stress-relieving tips, key supplements (only when warranted) and more. https://www.healthcentral.com/
