Tahnee is thrilled to be speaking with the wonderful Clare Pyers on the Women's Series today. Clare is an integrative medical practitioner who specialises in women's health, particularly in the areas of reproductive health and complex health conditions. Clare has a broad educational background including Chemical Engineering, Chinese Medicine, Integrative Medicine and Yoga. Clare is a leader in the industry of Chinese Medicine, having written the first comprehensive textbook that shows practitioners how to translate between the paradigms of Conventional, Functional and Chinese Medicine. A true renaissance woman, Clare also hosts Qiological, a podcast specifically crafted for Chinese Medicine practitioners. Clare joins Tahnee today, to bridge the gap between the East vs West approach to women's health, sharing her insights in a manner that is highly informative and easy to understand. Clare's clinical work is practical and thoroughly grounded in a holistic approach. Clare's methods allow women to feel safe, held and completely nourished on their journey to harmonious health.
Tahnee and Clare explore:
-How Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views hormones, and the East vs West approach to addressing hormonal issues.
-The natural ebs and flows of the female reproductive cycle and the importance of the 'Chong Mai' vessel in TCM.
-The significance of the transitions between the body's phases of Yin and Yang, and how a disturbance in the body's natural course of Qi interferes with establishing menstrual harmony.
-The masculine nature of Western society, and how operating a system that is dominated by this energy impairs female reproductive health.
-The Heart as the female palace of glory, and the Daoist system views this important organ.
-The misdiagnoses and misuse of herbs in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
-Reproductive capability as a reflection of overall health, the idea that an organism cannot create new life in an environment (the body) where life is deficient.
-The Liver's role in female reproductive health.
-The difference between deficiency and excess.
-How TCM views menopause.
-The connection between the thyroid, iodine and salt.
-Hashimoto's and Graves Disease.
