I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Nyree from NYfit and her PCOS Game Changer Programme on options to enhance the life and well being of women on the journey (and some times feels like a battle) with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Nyree put me through my paces to find out how Chinese Medicine relates to this “Specific” diagnosis given to women with hormonal imbalances.
As I have said many times before, it can be a bit difficult to explain ALL the paradigms in Traditional Chinese Medicine as some of the terms contradict in English translation, so when we refer to “the Liver” or “the Heart”, whilst there are correlations to the physical function of that organ and is health system, in Traditional Chinese Medicine we are actually referring to “the health and energy system of ,(for example) The Gan (Liver)”, which can be tricky to understand from a biological and physiological perspective.
In this interview I gave some health tips for a better period, happier mindset (even on crappy ‘hormonal days’), and explained why it is a good thing that Traditional Chinese Medicine ignores your Western Diagnosis – and can effectively treat you any way 😛
