@lucie_baker: I’ve been getting more into reading up on traditional Chinese medicine recently. The focus on circulation, warmth, energy availability. It’s a very different way of looking at hormone health. What’s been interesting is how much overlap there is with some of Ray Peat’s bioenergetic ideas - especially around energy, metabolism, and the body needing to feel resourced before it does anything non-essential. I’ve gone quite deep into this on Substack and it’s changed how I approach things day to day. Less about trying to “fix” anything quickly, and more about whether my body actually has what it needs to regulate. So a lot of what I’ve been focusing on is quite basic, but done more consistently. - Sleeping properly - Eating enough, and mostly warm, cooked foods - Keeping my feet and stomach warm 😌 - Letting my mornings be slower and quieter - Reducing the low-level, background stress where I can And then layering things like acupuncture, magnesium, bone broth on top of that. None of this is particularly extreme, but it feels more aligned with how the body actually works. And in my experience so far, that seems to matter more than doing everything “perfectly”! It’s been 1 week and already seeing my upon-waking body temperature rising!! #hormoneimbalance #acupuncture #hormonehealth #tcm
