The year was 2016, and I was finishing up my four year degree in Chinese Medicine. I was constantly writing herbal formulas and ingredients on dry erase boards while studying for boards. My classes were more practical and I was a senior intern in clinic, so the medicine was starting to feel real. I was teaching and practicing yoga 3-5x a week, and with a teacher that was advancing my asana. I was living with my then boyfriend (now husband) in Chicago and we were having a freaking blast and acting like every weekend was an adventure. There were highs and lows in graduate school, but by 2016 it was finally coming together and I could see the light at the end of the tunnel.

And I was OBSESSED with my niece, Nora.

Thank you to everyone who voted for Clear Mountain Acupuncture in this year's Best of Essex awards! Owning this clinic and working as an acupuncturist is a literally dream job. It's rewarding, fun, and always keeps me striving to improve. I'm so grateful to my patients and fellow health care providers who have grown Clear Mountain through word of mouth.

I really appreciate this recognition and promise to continue to evolve Clear Mountain into something amazing for our community in the decades to come.

Like so much of science, intermittent fasting was tested on men - and for them and menopausal women there is some benefit. BUT for menstruating women who have fluctuating hormones, it's not beneficial...and dare I say, it's harmful.

One of the most affective ways to regulate our hormones is balancing our blood sugar. Intermittent fasting throws off our HPA axis leading to spikes in the stress hormone cortisol, and it disrupts estrogen and progesterone production.

When trying to conceive we want the body to feel abundant, not deprived. Please don't stress your body out following this fad targeted at men. Ladies, feed your body nourishing food and start your day with a protein filled breakfast. Your balanced hormones will thank you.
