We chatted with Dr. Karchmer, an expert in Chinese Medicine and acupuncture. On this episode we focus on the woman's menstrual cycle and painful periods. Dr. Karchmer explains how to prevent painful periods and bloating with DIY home remedies, being in tune with your body, eating hot and cold foods (and what that is) and utilizing Chinese medicine and acupuncture. One of the exciting parts of this episode is knowing that periods do not have to be a negative part of your life. If you understand your menstrual cycle and your body, you should not have to experience pain and bloating. Dr. Karchmer explains how to take control of your cycle, rather than letting it control you! In this episode, Gretchen shares some personal stories about her very painful periods in the past as well as what she went through during her baby's birth.
