192. Needles & nutrition for fertility: how acupuncture & TCM help your balance hormones

Eastern medicine meets a modern mama! Today, registered dietitian nutritionist Kait meets with Dr. Kristen Hill to talk about acupuncture for gut health, hormones, and fertility.

Kristen M. Hill, AP, Dipl. O.M. is a Board-Certified Acupuncture Physician & Herbalist in Lake Nona, FL.

You can book an appointment with Dr Kristen here: https://nurturenona.janeapp.com

To book a 1:1 nutrition consult with Kait, visit: www.kaitrichardsonrd.com

Regarding TCM & Endometrosis:

"Endometriosis is definitely considered an Excess pattern in Traditional Chinese Medicine, particularly due to Blood Stasis, which creates fixed, often severe pain and obstructs healthy flow. But it can also be complicated by Dampness, Phlegm, or Cold depending on the patient. Some people develop cysts or masses—that’s where we might see more Phlegm-Damp accumulation layered on top of the stagnation. So it’s often a combination, but the root is typically an excess condition, especially early on." -Dr. Kristen Hill
