In this empowering episode, I’m joined by Dr. Beck Hoehn—a licensed acupuncturist, board-certified herbalist, and fertility specialist based in Los Angeles. With a doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese medicine, Dr. Hoehn helps women move through hormonal chaos with the wisdom of Eastern medicine and the precision of personalized care.
We explore how acupuncture and herbal medicine can support perimenopause and menopause—especially for women with autoimmune conditions like type 1 diabetes. From regulating the HPOA axis to relieving vasomotor symptoms like hot flashes and sleep disruption, Dr. Hoehn explains how we can get ahead of symptoms and use natural tools to reclaim balance.
She also breaks down:
· Why urine metabolite testing gives better insight than labs alone
· The power of adaptogenic herbs like Vitex (chasteberry)
· When it’s safe—or not safe—to combine herbs with HRT
· How cycle tracking needs to evolve in perimenopause
· The emotional weight of midlife symptoms and how to advocate for better care
If you’ve ever felt dismissed or told to “just wait it out,” this episode offers real hope, grounded strategies, and new ways to feel seen and supported.
