Listen Later

Today we have our first, of I'm sure what will be many, expert episodes. Michelle Smith, who is a Chinese Medicine Practitioner and Acupuncturist joins us to share her knowledge and wisdom. Michelle shares her own health story and explains how experiences in her twenties paved the path for her to study Chinese Medicine and to specialise in women's health. 

Michelle supports women at all stages of life, from adolescence through to menopause and beyond. She speaks about how Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture can support women, especially in the pre-conception, pregnancy and the postpartum period. She also explains how the menstrual cycle functions, why it's important to optimise it (not just for those who are trying to conceive) and explains how the pill disrupts the natural hormonal processes in the body.

This episode was so enlightening for me, I genuinely learnt so much and felt like I could chat to Michelle for hours! She has a beautiful way of explaining complex concepts in an easy to digest way, so I'm sure you will learn a lot as you listen in!
