Your body is telling you something’s wrong, but your labs say something different…
You’re exhausted but can’t sleep.
You’re bloated but eating “clean.”
Your mood is all over the place, but you’re told it’s just stress.
If you’ve been chasing answers for fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, digestive issues, or cycle irregularities—and getting nowhere—you’re not imagining things. And you’re not alone.
Many women are told everything looks “normal” when they’re clearly dealing with real women’s health issues—fatigue, bloating, mood swings, and more.
Why “Normal” Doesn’t Mean Healthy
Standard lab results only tell part of the story. What gets overlooked are the deeper patterns in women’s health issues—how chronic stress impacts digestion, how inflammation disrupts hormones, how unresolved trauma stores in the nervous system.
Women today are juggling nonstop responsibilities: work, home, family, caregiving. That nonstop pressure builds up. And when your body starts to signal distress, most systems aren’t designed to connect the dots (or offer lasting solutions).
You might be dealing with ongoing bloating, irregular cycles, mood swings, low energy, or inflammation. But if no one’s asking why, you won’t get real answers.
A More Connected View of Women’s Health Issues
At Needle & Glow, we don’t treat symptoms in isolation.
Kari, our licensed acupuncturist and wellness practitioner, works with women who are done with the “wait and see” approach. She blends Traditional Chinese Medicine with nutrition, neuromuscular therapy, and stress regulation—offering a plan that reflects your life, not just your chart.
Many clients arrive frustrated. Some are managing Hashimoto’s, IBS, or mystery fatigue. Others are navigating perimenopause, postpartum, or burnout. Most are simply looking for someone who will actually listen—and help them feel better, not just look “fine” on paper.
What a Whole-Body Approach Can Support
Here’s what Kari helps clients with most often:
- Hormonal imbalances across all life stages
- Food sensitivities and gut health challenges
- Nervous system dysregulation from chronic stress
- Fatigue, brain fog, and sleep issues
- Inflammation and joint or muscle pain
- Mood swings, anxiety, and emotional overload
Sessions are customized and often combine acupuncture, nutritional coaching, and neuromuscular therapy. It’s not about a magic fix—it’s about restoring balance over time, with the right tools and consistent support.
You’re Not Broken—You’re Undersupported
If you’ve been told “this is just part of being a woman” or “your labs are normal,” it’s time for a different approach.
Kari doesn’t aim to fix you, because you’re not broken. Her work is about helping you understand what your body is asking for and giving you the tools to respond.
If your body’s been speaking up—and no one’s been listening—this might be the place to start. Book a session to further explore how we support women’s health at Needle & Glow.
Frequently Asked Questions
These are some of the most common questions women search when they’re struggling with unresolved women’s health issues—and conventional care isn’t providing answers.
Q: Why do I feel so tired all the time even though my lab work came back normal?
Fatigue can stem from a range of root causes that don’t always show up on standard bloodwork—like hormone imbalances, nervous system dysregulation, inflammation, or food sensitivities. At Needle & Glow, we take a whole-body approach to help uncover and address what your body is really asking for.
Q: Can acupuncture help with hormone imbalances or irregular periods?
Yes. Acupuncture is commonly used to support hormone regulation, reduce PMS symptoms, and improve cycle regularity—especially during perimenopause or after stopping birth control. It works by promoting better circulation, reducing stress, and supporting the endocrine system.
Q: What’s the best treatment for unexplained bloating or digestive issues?
If your gut issues haven’t been resolved by diet changes or medication, it’s worth exploring a more integrative approach. We look at stress, nervous system function, food sensitivities, and gut inflammation to find the deeper cause—then create a tailored plan that may include acupuncture, nutritional support, and lifestyle shifts.
Q: How does stress affect my hormones and energy levels?
Chronic stress raises cortisol, which throws off your entire hormone system—including estrogen, progesterone, and insulin. This can lead to fatigue, poor sleep, anxiety, and even digestive problems. At Needle & Glow, we use acupuncture and holistic strategies to regulate your nervous system and support better energy, sleep, and mood.
Q: What kind of practitioner should I see if I feel off but my doctor says I’m fine?
If you’ve been told your labs are normal but you still don’t feel right, working with an integrative practitioner who understands the body as a connected system can make a big difference. Kari combines Traditional Chinese Medicine, nervous system support, and modern nutrition to get to the root of what’s going on.
