🌱 TCM Tuesday 🌱⁠
⁠
Traditional Chinese Medicine is an integral part of Yinstill Reproductive Wellness and, because of this, we wanted to share a bit about why we believe in personalized treatments:⁠
⁠
We wanted to start off by sharing a quote from a text by Hsu Ta-ch’un in 1757, translated by Paul Unshuld: ⁠
⁠
‘Illnesses may be identical but the persons suffering from them are different. The...emotions and the...excesses affecting people are not the same. Some people may be strong and others weak as far as their Qi or the condition of their body is concerned. If one treats all those patients who appear to suffer from one identical illness with one and the same therapy, one may hit the nature of the illness, but one’s approach may still be exactly contraindicated by the influences of Qi that determine the condition of the individual patient’s body.’ ⁠
⁠
💕🧑🏻‍⚕️ Because of this concept, we work closely and carefully with each of our clients to create an individualized treatment plan to get to the root of unexplained infertility, PCOS, and other diagnoses. ⁠

📣 It is Infertility Awareness Week! 📣⁠
⁠
1 in 6 Canadians are faced with challenges when looking to grow their family and this week is meant to open conversations, raise awareness, and connect people struggling with infertility. ⁠
⁠
If you are someone who went through or are going through infertility - tell your story. Whether you talk to a loved one, a friend, a friend of a friend, or a broader audience, your honesty and strength will help someone. ⁠
⁠
💕 Remember that someone you know or in your community is likely experiencing infertility. Be mindful and be kind, always. 💕⁠
⁠
📚 Visit our blog and The Conception Channel, resources we provide that strive to educate, empower, and connect.⁠

Happy Earth Day! 🌍️😍⁠
⁠
"The Earth is what we all have in common."⁠
⁠
-Wendell Barry

💁🏻‍♀️ In Chinese medicine we refer to a frustrated or emotional time as ‘qi’ stagnation. In other words, “blockage”. Easing this stagnation and transforming it into smoother emotions are important in healing and allowing our bodies to settle during a stressful time. Stress hormones such as cortisol are likely running high and this is a time to be compassionate to yourself; allowing your ‘self’ to heal.⁠
⁠
🫁 When it feels impossible to start it can be difficult to know what to do first. The first practice that can steer you towards a more balanced state of mind is breath. Deep, meditative breath.⁠
⁠
📚 To learn about our recommended breath technique to reduce stress, visit ‘Surrendering to Yourself One Breath at a Time’ by following the link in our bio. ⁠

🥳Happy Birthday Laura!! Love your Yinstill Family!🥳⁠
We wish you the most amazing trip around the sun, filled with an abundance of LOVE, LAUGHTER, PEACE, HEALTH and FAMILY! 💙

🌱 TCM Tuesday 🌱⁠
⁠
Traditional Chinese Medicine is an integral part of Yinstill Reproductive Wellness and, because of this, we wanted to share a little about Springtime with a TCM perspective: ⁠
⁠
Spring, a time of regeneration, renewal, and new beginnings. In TCM, the Liver, Gallbladder, and the wood element are associated with the Spring season. Here are some tips to transition into the season using TCM theory: ⁠
⁠
🪵 To support the Wood Element, calm the nervous system and ease into a more relaxed state. Take time during the day to transition between activities, receive acupuncture, listen to soothing music, meditate, or read. ⁠
⁠
🥬 To support the Liver and Gallbladder, the diet should be the lightest of the year and contain foods that are nutrient dense, such as dark leafy greens.⁠
⁠
🍎 If you crave sour foods that may be your Liver communicating that it needs an extra boost, so be sure to include apple cider vinegar and sweet and sour recipes in your diet.⁠
⁠
🧘🏾‍♀️Try to stay calm, especially during the spring. Don’t get caught up in spring’s intense new energies. Take things easy and go at your own pace; take a nice long walk in the park or do other gentle yin exercises to relax your mind, body, and spirit. Let go of any stressful situations that you can and do an activity or hobby that you enjoy.⁠

What is Glutathione and why do you need it?⁠
Glutathione is the mother of all antioxidants, the master detoxifier and maestro of the immune system. It is a tripeptide made up of 3 amino acids; glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. 💉⁠
⁠
💙Glutathione has many important functions in our body, but most importantly, it is referred to as the master antioxidant . In relation to fertility, it protects cells (egg/sperm) from damage due to ROS (Reactive oxygen species) such as lipid hydroperoxides (turning them into alcohols) and hydrogen peroxide (turning it into water).⁠
⁠
💙 Glutathione is important in recycling other antioxidants such as vitamin C and E, so their net protective effects are increased. It is capable of preventing damage to cellular components caused by ROS (such as free radicals, peroxides, lipid peroxides), xenobiotics, and heavy metals.⁠
⁠
💙 It plays important roles in nutrient metabolism, and regulation of cellular events including; ⁠
🌱Proper gene methylation (expression of genes)⁠
🌱DNA and protein synthesis⁠
🌱Cell proliferation (growth)⁠
🌱Cellular apoptosis (regulated cell death)⁠
🌱Cellular communications⁠
🌱Immune response⁠
⁠
💉Glutathione is available in different forms, including pills, and in a lot of foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and meats. However, an injection form of glutathione is more effective than oral supplementation. This is because it delivers the powerful antioxidant directly into your bloodstream and bypass the digestive system and allows you to get the benefits of glutathione much more quickly in higher concentrations. 💉
