Mid-cycle spotting is not something I consider “normal” from a Chinese Medicine perspective.

When bleeding occurs outside of menstruation, I’m looking at the underlying pattern rather than treating the spotting itself as the diagnosis.

Depending on the presentation, this may involve Spleen Qi deficiency, Liver Qi stagnation, Kidney deficiency, or a combination of patterns affecting the regulation of Blood and the menstrual cycle.

The color of the blood, amount of spotting, timing in the cycle, digestion, energy, PMS symptoms, stress patterns and luteal phase all give us more information about what is actually happening.

So I don’t recommend treating every case of mid-cycle spotting the same way.

A woman with pale, scanty spotting, fatigue and digestive weakness may require very different support than someone experiencing spotting alongside painful periods, irritability, breast tenderness and signs of Liver Qi stagnation.

This is one of the things I love most about Traditional Chinese Medicine. We are not only asking, “How do we stop the spotting?”

We are also asking why the body is losing Blood outside of the appropriate time in the cycle and what needs to be strengthened, moved or regulated to restore a healthier menstrual pattern.

I’ve created several Traditional Chinese Medicine herbal formulas to support the patterns I commonly see in fertility and menstrual health.

🌿 Support Your Spleen Dual Extract → Spleen Qi deficiency, especially pale/light spotting with tiredness, bloating or decreased appetite.

🌿 PMS Relief Dual Extract + Milk Thistle → Liver Qi stagnation, especially spotting around ovulation with PMS, stress-related hormone imbalance, or heavy/painful periods.

🌿 Vitex Tincture → low progesterone patterns, especially spotting a few days after ovulation or just before your period.

🌿 Ovarian Glow Dual Extract + Vitex Tincture → post-pill regulation, especially irregular or breakthrough spotting while the cycle is recalibrating after hormonal birth control.

There is so much emphasis on supplements and protocols when women are trying to get pregnant, but I think we have skipped over something much more foundational.

🥘 Food.

You can be doing all the “right” things but if you are chronically under eating, skipping meals or not getting enough protein and fat, we have to look at that first.

I think the wellness industry has made nutrition unnecessarily complicated.

One year fat is the enemy. Then the next carbohydrates are the enemy. Then the next year everyone needs to fast. Then suddenly everyone needs a blood sugar monitor.

Meanwhile, female physiology has not changed.

Your body needs adequate energy and nutrients to ovulate, make hormones, support thyroid function, build the uterine lining and eventually sustain a pregnancy.

This is one of the reasons I’m not interested in extreme diets when supporting fertility.

I want you eating real food, enough food and eating in a way that supports the enormous energetic demands of the female body.

Traditional Chinese Medicine has always understood that food is medicine and that how we nourish the body directly impacts blood, Qi, digestion and reproductive health.

Of course there is nuance here and nutrition should always be individualized, especially when there are metabolic or digestive concerns.

But I think we need to stop acting like nourishing yourself well is somehow less important than the newest supplement, peptide or fertility protocol.

Did you miss part 1? Start there.

Becoming a mother is not the only way to mature into adulthood, obviously, but it is a very straightforward way.

Protein has been a buzz word lately, and for good reason as it is essential for metabolic health, hormone production and thriving fertility.

People are beginning to question whether or not too much protein can be “dangerous”.

As with everything, the answer to this requires some nuance.

Of course there is something as too much protein, just there is such thing as drinking too much water.

The average recommendation is to not consume more than 2g per kg of bodyweight.

If you do the math, that’s only 120g for a woman weighing about 132lbs.
I don’t buy that!

Nutritional guidelines rarely take women’s physiological needs into account, and these protein guidelines are no exception.

The baseline I recommend for my clients is generally about 0.8 g per pound.
So, a minimum of 104 g for someone who is 130 pounds.

If that person is very active, pregnant or navigating acute or chronic stress, the protein needs do increase and can go over 120g if needed without worry.

According to most research, it is not recommended to go over 300 g of protein per day.

What are your thoughts on this?

Let me know in the comments.
