Sweet or salty? Ice cream or chocolate? Coffee or lemonade? What drives you to crave some foods over others? You probably think you’re making choices based on what sounds appealing to your mind and taste buds, but it’s actually your body telling you what will best serve your health.

We often hear that a food is “good” or “bad” for us, but we don’t often understand why or how this is true. Ancient Chinese medical practitioners studied the body and observed the importance of food in the health equation, and they prescribed food therapy before any other type of intervention.

Around 10% of the U.S. population has had their gallbladder removed. Told by doctors that the gallbladder is not “necessary”, post-removal patients too often then have digestive issues and complications. The gallbladder plays a very important role in fat digestion, toxin elimination and hormone clearing. With an intact gallbladder, fats are time-released naturally to aid in the digestive process and hormone circulation. When the gallbladder is removed so is the body’s ability to store and concentrate bile, resulting in inefficient fat digestion and the re-uptake of toxins and hormones instead of their release. This shows up in your body as bloating and diarrhea, fat-consumption intolerance, skin issues, hormonal imbalances and brain fog. Bile is required to clear estrogen, cortisol and environmental toxins. When the flow is impaired, these hormones are re-circulated instead of released. Gallbladder removal isn’t the end of the road for your digestion and hormone elimination, but it could mean you need help supporting those functions.

Regular acupuncture, along with herbal supplements will support your gallbladder and your overall health. Herbal formulas available at Acupuncture by Andrea include Si Ni San to soothe the liver and spleen and regulate qi. Bile salts and digestive enzymes can also aid post-removal wellness–I recommend CHZYME by HealthConcerns, targeted to liver health and timely bile release.

If you have questions or concerns about your gallbladder, message me and we will figure out the best plan for your wellness needs.

At the Acupuncture by Andrea clinic, I have seen a steep increase in the number of pelvic floor issues in the last several years. These complaints have been increasing nationwide in such numbers that many new therapists and medical centers have opened to help with the volume of cases in the U.S.

Pelvic Floor Dysfunction (PFD) is a common problem that occurs when the muscles and connective tissues that support the bladder and bowel are injured or weakened, according to Western medicine. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, PFD is treated as spleen qi deficiency or liver stagnation. Because the affected muscles do not contract and relax as they should, painful symptoms are felt.

This dysfunction can be caused by pregnancy, childbirth, prostate cancer treatment, obesity, sexual trauma and the straining of chronic constipation. This uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing issue occurs in both men and women of any age.

Acupuncture can help. If you have been living with PFD, we can help. Read more about the causes and treatments on our blog and schedule a consultation today.

Summer is the peak of yang in Traditional Chinese Medicine and that means it's time for cooling and moistening foods. The heat of summer dries bodily fluids and depletes the yin, the cooling, softening side of ourselves. With a seasonal diet, internal heat is dispersed and moisture is boosted so we stay cool and sleep with ease. The flavor of summer is bitterness, and is related to the heart and the small intestine.

For summer heat relief, try cooling, delicious fruits and juices including apple, lemon, kiwi, melon, pear, and pineapple and vegetables like cucumber, Belgian endive, spinach, tomato and basil. Lunch on a wheatberry or barley salad with yogurt, and proteins like mussels and fish paired with green or black tea to stimulate digestion and support seasonal heart health. Please keep on enjoying ice cream cones, spritzers and everything from the grill while adding some of the bitter and cooling foods to your meal.
