If you’ve been feeling off with symptoms like: 

Bloating, fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, low energy, or irregular cycles

It may not be what you think. 

Most people think these are hormone issues, and they could be.

But the root often starts somewhere else:

Your digestion.

Here’s what’s in this email:

• Why your gut is the starting point for hormone balance

• A simple 3-step routine to support digestion

• How we treat these symptoms by restoring the gut

Why this matters:

In Chinese medicine, the Spleen and Stomach turn food into the energy and nutrients your body uses to stay in balance.When digestion is weak, hormones go off track.

But when digestion is strong?

✅ Energy rises

✅ Mood evens out

✅ Bloating improves

✅ Loosing weight is easier

✅ Cycles regulate

Try this at home to reset your gut:

1. Eat warm, cooked meals

2. Skip cold drinks, especially with food

3. Take 3 deep breaths before eating—and avoid stress while you eat (conversations, tv shows, etc)

These small changes sustained over a few months can make a big difference.

Check out this short video where Dr. Andrea explains why cold foods are not the way to go according to TCM
