🌸 Navigating Menopause Naturally 🌸

Menopause is a natural transition, but that doesn’t mean it has to be uncomfortable. 🌿

Through naturopathy and acupuncture, we can support your body’s balance and ease the symptoms that often come with this stage of life — such as:
✨ Hot flashes & night sweats
✨ Mood swings or anxiety
✨ Low energy & poor sleep
✨ Irregular or heavy periods before menopause
✨ Changes in digestion or metabolism

🌼 How we can help:
🪷 Acupuncture helps calm the nervous system, regulate hormones, and improve circulation — reducing hot flashes and improving sleep.
🍃 Naturopathic care focuses on identifying underlying imbalances, supporting adrenal and thyroid health, optimizing nutrition, and using gentle herbal or nutritional support to restore harmony.

Menopause isn’t an ending — it’s a transition into a new, empowered phase of womanhood. 💫

🌿 Understanding the 24-Hour Circadian Clock in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) 🌿

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, every organ in the body follows a natural rhythm within a 24-hour cycle. This internal “organ clock” reflects when each system is most active — guiding digestion, detoxification, energy, and emotional balance. Aligning your daily habits with these rhythms helps support your overall wellness and healing.

🕰️ Here’s a quick guide:

🌅 5–7 AM | Large Intestine
Time to wake up and release waste — both physically and mentally. Hydrate and begin your day mindfully.

☀️ 7–9 AM | Stomach
Optimal time for a warm, nourishing breakfast. Your digestion is strongest now.

🌼 9–11 AM | Spleen
Your body converts food into Qi (energy). Great time for focused work and mental clarity.

❤️ 11 AM–1 PM | Heart
Blood circulation and energy peak. Eat your main meal and stay calm — avoid rushing or stress during lunch.

🔥 1–3 PM | Small Intestine
The body absorbs nutrients and begins sorting. A short rest or light nap can restore energy.

💧 3–5 PM | Bladder
Energy is restored. Ideal time for study, work, or finishing tasks.

💙 5–7 PM | Kidney
The kidneys store vital essence and support recovery. Eat a light dinner and avoid overexertion.

💖 7–9 PM | Pericardium
Focus on self-care, gentle stretching, and connection. Calm the mind before bed.

🌙 9–11 PM | Triple Burner (Endocrine System)
Your metabolism and hormones begin balancing. Wind down, avoid screens, and prepare for rest.

🌌 11 PM–3 AM | Gallbladder & Liver
Deep sleep supports detoxification, cell repair, and emotional processing.

🌄 3–5 AM | Lung
The lungs cleanse and prepare the body for a new day. Early risers often feel more refreshed and clear-headed.

✨ Living in rhythm with this natural cycle helps improve digestion, sleep, focus, hormone balance, and emotional wellbeing.

Take note of when your energy peaks or dips — your body might be telling you which organ system needs attention!

October is pregnancy and infant loss awareness month 🪽💜

Every year, 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in loss. Miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss affect millions of families worldwide — yet many feel they must grieve in silence.

🔹 Why Awareness Matters:
• It breaks the stigma and silence around pregnancy and infant loss.
• It provides space for families to share their stories and honor their babies.
• It reminds grieving parents that their loss is real and their babies will always matter.

🔹 The Colors of Awareness:
The official symbol is the pink-and-blue ribbon, representing babies of all genders and the blend of grief and remembrance. 💗💙
You’ll also see purple used, as it stands for compassion, healing, and solidarity. 💜

🔹 How to Show Support:
• Light a candle on October 15th at 7 PM for the International Wave of Light 🌎🕯️
• Offer a listening ear to someone who has experienced loss.
• Share resources and awareness posts so no family feels alone.

This month, let’s honor the little lives gone too soon and hold space for the parents who carry them in their hearts forever. 💫

🌸 Supporting Your Cycle with Nutrition & Naturopathy 🌸

Your menstrual cycle is a powerful rhythm, and the foods + supplements you choose can help support energy, hormones, and overall balance. Here’s how to nourish your body at each stage ⬇️

🔴 Menstruation (Days 1–5)
As your body releases blood, focus on replenishment.
Foods: Iron-rich meals (grass-fed beef, lentils, spinach, beets) + warming soups and stews.
Supplements: Iron bisglycinate (gentle on digestion), magnesium for cramps, vitamin C to support iron absorption.

🔵 Follicular Phase (Days 6–13)
Estrogen begins to rise, building energy and preparing for ovulation.
Foods: Fresh fruits, leafy greens, omega-3s (salmon, chia, flax), and blood-building foods like dates and beans.
Supplements: B-complex for energy, omega-3 fish oil to support hormone balance, probiotics for gut health (which supports estrogen metabolism).

🟡 Ovulation (Days 14–16)
Hormones peak, and fertile energy is high.
Foods: Antioxidant-rich foods (berries, pomegranate, cruciferous veggies), lean proteins, and healthy fats (avocado, olive oil).
Supplements: Zinc for egg quality + cervical mucus, CoQ10 for mitochondrial energy, NAC (N-acetylcysteine) to support detox and egg health.

🟣 Luteal Phase (Days 17–28)
Progesterone rises to stabilize the cycle.
Foods: Warming root vegetables (sweet potato, squash), whole grains (oats, quinoa), magnesium-rich foods (pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate), and calming teas (chamomile, ginger).
Supplements: Magnesium glycinate for PMS, vitamin B6 for mood balance, evening primrose oil for breast tenderness, vitamin D to support progesterone.

✨ When you align your food and supplements with your cycle, you can reduce PMS, improve energy, and support fertility naturally.

💌 Want a personalized naturopathic plan for your hormones? Reach out to schedule a consultation—we’d love to help.

🌸 Understanding Your Menstrual Cycle with Chinese Medicine

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), your menstrual cycle is more than just a monthly event—it’s a reflection of your overall health and balance of Qi, Blood, Yin, and Yang. Each phase has its own focus and unique support needs:

🔴 Menstruation (Days 1–5) – Move Qi & Blood
The body is releasing blood and old endometrium. Smooth flow is key—when Qi is stagnant, cramps, clots, or pain may arise. Acupuncture and herbal medicine help regulate flow, ease pain, and support a fresh start for the next cycle. Warm, cooked foods (soups, stews, congee).

🔵 Follicular Phase (Days 6–12) – Nourish Yin & Blood

This is the time to build and restore. The uterine lining thickens, and follicles begin to mature. TCM focuses on nourishing Yin and Blood with foods like leafy greens, beets, and bone broth, alongside treatments that support ovarian and uterine health.

🟡 Ovulation (Around Day 13–16) – Yin Transforms into Yang

Ovulation is the peak of Yin energy, which then transforms into Yang to release the egg. Fertility is at its highest. Eat light fresh foods: zucchini, asparagus, leafy greens.

🟣 Luteal Phase (Days 17–28) – Strengthen Qi & Nourish Yang

After ovulation, Yang energy takes over to warm and stabilize the uterus. If conception occurs, this phase supports implantation; if not, it prepares for shedding. Acupuncture and herbs here can ease PMS, bloating, mood changes, or fatigue by strengthening Qi and Yang. Eat warming foods: roasted root veggies, pumpkin, sweet potatoes

🌸 When we honor each phase of the cycle with the right support, symptoms like cramps, irregular bleeding, PMS, and fertility struggles can often improve dramatically.

✨ Acupuncture and naturopathic care work hand in hand to restore balance and help you feel in harmony with your natural cycle.

Dry Needling vs. Acupuncture: What’s the Difference?

People often ask us if dry needling and acupuncture are the same — while they both use thin needles, the training, approach, and purpose are different.

🪡 Acupuncture
• Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
• Focuses on the whole body and restoring balance
• Used for pain, stress, digestion, sleep, fertility, and overall wellness
• Requires years of training in medicine, anatomy, and TCM theory (requires 3 years, M.S. degree)

💪 Dry Needling
• Western technique used mainly by physical therapists, MD’s, DO’s, ND’s DC’s.
• Targets tight muscle “trigger points” to release tension
• Primarily for short-term pain or mobility issues
• Usually taught in shorter certification programs (a weekend class)

✨ The main difference:
Acupuncture treats the whole person, while dry needling is a technique focused on local muscle pain. Both can help with pain, but acupuncture goes beyond — supporting energy, immunity, stress relief, hormones, and long-term balance.

• Heavy flow with clots or brain fog
• Irregular cycles or fertility struggles

🌿 With natural care like acupuncture, nutrition, herbs, and lifestyle support, your cycle can become smoother, more regular, and less painful.

Anemia isn’t just about low iron — it’s about why your body isn’t making or absorbing enough healthy red blood cells. 🩸

🔎 Common causes may include:
• Low dietary iron or B12 intake
• Heavy menstrual cycles
• Chronic illness or inflammation
• Poor digestion + low stomach acid (making it harder to absorb iron and B vitamins from food)

👉 In naturopathy, we look deeper:
• Is your stomach acid strong enough to break down and absorb nutrients?
• Are you getting enough supportive foods and minerals?
• Is stress, gut imbalance, or inflammation interfering with absorption?

✨ By supporting digestion, restoring nutrient levels, and addressing the root causes, naturopathic care helps your body rebuild and restore energy naturally.

📞 Book an appointment at Mending Roots Naturopathy to discover a personalized plan for healthy iron levels and vibrant energy.

Tired, Weak, or Low Energy? Let’s Talk About Blood. 🩸💉

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, fatigue often connects to what we call “blood deficiency.” This can feel similar to low iron — symptoms like:

🔻 Feeling tired or weak
🔻 Dizziness or lightheadedness
🔻 Pale complexion
🔻 Trouble focusing
🔻 Heavy periods

Acupuncture helps by gently stimulating your body to build and circulate healthy blood, improving oxygen and nutrient flow. 🌿 When your blood is nourished, your energy levels rise, your mind feels clearer, and your body feels stronger.

Think of it as charging your internal battery — from the inside out. ⚡️

💆🏽‍♀️ If you’ve been struggling with low energy or “running on empty,” acupuncture may be the boost your body is asking for.

As the seasons shift, our immune systems work harder to keep us healthy. Naturopathic medicine focuses on strengthening your body’s natural defenses so you can recover faster — and sometimes even prevent colds and flus from taking hold.

✨ Naturopathic approaches may include:
• Immune-supportive herbs like echinacea, elderberry, and astragalus
• Targeted nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc
• Hydrotherapy to improve circulation and speed healing
• Lifestyle support with rest, hydration, and nourishing seasonal foods

Instead of just masking symptoms, naturopathy works to restore balance and support the body’s natural healing response. 🍵💪

Ready to give your immune system a boost this season? Schedule a naturopathic visit with us today!
