I was recently featured in Diablo Magazine, where I shared my insights on managing menopause symptoms through holistic methods. As a Lafayette-based acupuncturist, I have dedicated my practice to helping women find relief from the discomforts associated with menopause using acupuncture and other natural approaches.

Acupuncture and Menopause:

In the article, I explained how acupuncture can uniquely benefit those experiencing menopause. “Acupuncture uses specific points and meridians to help the body balance itself,” I shared. “It’s one of the most holistic ways to treat symptoms, because there are so many symptoms. With acupuncture, every time you come for a session, we treat you for what’s happening in the body at that moment.”

Holistic Approaches and Lifestyle Choices:

While there are options like hormone therapy and nonhormonal drugs, many women seek alternative treatments. My practice involves using acupuncture to address individual symptoms as they occur, providing a personalized and adaptive treatment plan. This method aligns with broader expert advice on managing menopause symptoms effectively. Key suggestions include maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress, engaging in weight-bearing exercises, moderating alcohol consumption, and ensuring adequate calcium intake.

Finding Balance and Support:

Menopause is a natural transition, and finding support through qualified health professionals and community resources can make a significant difference. My holistic approach offers a path for women to manage their symptoms while promoting overall well-being. I am thrilled to share my approach and experiences in Diablo Magazine.
