Managing Overwhelm and Stress by Elizabeth Carpenter MS, L.Ac., CEFP

Published Monday, June 20, 2011


Overwhelm and stress are a recurring theme for fertility,  menopause transition patients and achievers of all ages managing career, family, health challenges and more. How do you break the pattern? What do you do when anxiety, fear and overwhelm hit?

Patients and those I do business with often comment on how “zen” I am and how relaxing it must be to be in my profession of Chinese Medicine and wellness. Let me tell you, as much as I completely adore and would not trade my life for a minute, and I have the benefit of the medicine's wisdom all around me— owning and running a company during a recessionis is not relaxing!

Which brings me to my point: managing stress and cultivating peace in our lives is a choice we make and a set of tools we employ moment to moment, day to day. It accumulates. It becomes a habit. It becomes your nature. Calm is a result. Joy and tranquility are the return on an investment!  Fully programmed and trained to worry by family and culture, I can worry with the best of them…but why? Worry is a completely unproductive energy sapping activity.

Worry is no more than a thought-feeling the body is having.  The mind creates a negative outcome on a future event.  Worry is fortune telling at it's worst!

Worry is an emotion.   Emotions are not a sum of who we are or an accurate accounting of circumstance.   But our minds can go crazy leading us down into the fear hole. We can thank our early brains for that. They've been with us all along, keeping us out of harm's way, eternally on the look-out for danger.

Yet, as we say "thank you for sharing" to our mind for the reporting on the brain's scan for potential danger, we must also acknowledge the physics of problem solving.  As Einstein suggested, it is is best done in a state of play, of wonder. Solutions come when we are relaxed, off-topic.  Personally, my greatest breakthrough's arrive while working out or in the shower, not when I am in hot pursuit of an answer.

So what gets us there? What induces that relaxation state? What helps us neutralize worry when it strikes?  Habits that become tools at-the-ready. 

Some of my favorites are breathing meditation, spiritual reading that brings me back to bigger perspective and re-introduces me to the truth of deeper connections, acupuncture naps, exercise, an observation walk (tuning into all that is going on outside of me and my mind on the streets of Manhattan).

Did you ever notice that when you are on vacation and you are still thinking or "working" that you feel a powerful sense of possibility? You come back refreshed not only because you switched physical/spacial gears, but because relaxation allowed you to background focus on your challenges. Inspiration hits. New possibilities and perspectives arise.

How do we bring THAT back with us? We decide upon it, and dedicate time to it every day.  We make a small space every day for play, for relaxing, for self-care, for being non-productive, for exercising.  As achievers, we are constantly in motion, solving, multi-tasking.  In the quality-of-life challenge of breaking the worry habit, we're called to let it all go.  We need to hit the "Enough" button, and shift our own gears.

Fertility in Your Forties by Elizabeth Carpenter, MS, L.Ac., CEFP

Published Wednesday, June 08, 2011
 

Conceiving and healthy pregnancy in the forties … sadly, women we see are desperate about being in their late 30’s and 40’s and their presumed inability to get pregnant.

Yet other women in this same age group stop using birth control for the identical reason--they've been told they're infertile-- and find themselves with unplanned pregnancies. Did you know this age group seeks abortions as frequently as teens?

Can we stop passing around the notion that women in their forties are infertile?

Chinese medicine tells us that we are capable of conception and childbearing up until menopause.

I was organizing my email recently and came across this note and I wanted to share it ... Not because it is unusual, but because it is typical!

“I want to thank you both so much because I really feel like the acupuncture, the massage, and the supportive/optimistic energy at Oriens helped me get pregnant (when my doctor told me I had only a 5% chance of conceiving naturally . . .”

The only thing truly unusual about this email, is that the doc had given her 5% odds.  Our patients often have received worse prognoses than that.  A few times I’ve had patients tell me that their doc told them they had less than 1% chance. And yet…Life comes through when circumstances are right.

What about the statistics?  They reflect data related to reproductive medical clinic outcomes, based on couples experiencing difficulty who seek help -- not couples world-over.  And for many couples, thankfully high tech exists!  At Oriens, we thoroughly enjoy partnering with great RE’s for IVF, IUI and natural IVF—a phenomenal combination where the couple  prepares through natural medicine and then benefits from high tech.

There's no question that the ease of achieving healthy pregnancy declines with age, particularly in the forties. But we also know that Mother Nature does not serve her best eggs first. So what remains in the reserve is often viable.  And we know that the environment in which eggs mature (nutrient and blood supply, etc.) contributes to "good" and "bad" eggs, as well as to the quality of the uterine environment for an embryo and child.  So we focus here, on what we can influence, to nurture fertility and increase the odds. 
 
 Since Nature has not quite caught up with modernism, women in their forties typically have more to accept, forgive and invest in, in order to lay their claim on motherhood.  But they are not infertile. As we delay child-bearing until we find love, or create financial security, or until we have the maturity to fully appreciate the miracle of family….more is required to balance the body and bring fertility forward.

We need to adjust our diets, we need to face our fears about it “not happening” so the body can relax into the knowledge that we will be OK whether we do or don’t have a biologic child—and free up energy for reproduction that is siphoned into fear management. We need to get more blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, we need to balance hormones.  Sometimes we need medical procedures to clear the path.

Acupuncture, Nutrition, Maya Abdominal Massage, , self-care routines, counseling that leads to self-knowledge and trust. These are not just preparations for conception and healthy pregnancy.  They are investments…in a healthy body, in a peaceful spirit, in a calm mind. A kind of deep strength emerges, a vibrancy—fertility showing herself!  Wow!...what preparation for motherhood!  And what lucky children to be loved by such moms!

Oprah on Maya Abdominal Massage by Elizabeth Carpenter, MS, L.Ac., CEFP

Published Monday, May 23, 2011
  Speak with Elizabeth about Your Fertility Issues

Oprah is such a “force.”  Oprah.com featured an article on Maya Abdominal Massage (MAM) last year, and it continues to help women find out about this  women’s health and fertility Super-Secret! Not that it’s just for women. Maya Abdominal Massage boosts men’s fertility as well and can also address a great variety of other health concerns such as digestive problems and prostate health.

At Oriens, we place MAM in almost every Fertility, Women’s Health or Digestive Health care plan. I personally love to receive MAM, as I know I am not just having a relaxing and delicious massage, but am building my long term health with every session. It took me over a year to find an extraordinary Maya Abdominal Massage practitioner capable of handling the complex fertility issues and the complex health issues Oriens specializes in working with. Simone is a gift! You will feel blessed and welcomed, heard and helped. She is masterful and completely approachable all at the same time.

I thought the Oprah article did a great job of talking about what MAM is and what to expect in a session.

For those interested in MAM for fertility enhancement, read this blog posted at CNY Fertility in Rochester NY  by Erin McCullough—the MAM therapist there—that beautifully outlined how MAM enhances fertility, and gets very specific. So I thought I’d share her gems with you here!

“[Maya Abdominal Massage] is a modern adaptation of ancient Mayan healing techniques that adds modern knowledge of anatomy, physiology and herbology. Through noninvasive massage, this technique gently manipulates the muscles and connective tissue that hold the pelvic organs in place. The intention is to reposition the pelvic organs so that any blockages and congestion are removed. When blockages and congestion are resolved, the body can self-regulate, heal and regenerate. In addition, physiologically, there is increased blood flow, the functioning of the lymphatic system and nervous system are optimized, and life creating energy is maximized. Both female and male fertility can be enhanced by applying these massage techniques.
Specifically, Arvigo Maya Massage benefits fertility in the following ways:
FOR WOMEN:
1. Increases blood flow to the reproductive organs
2. Nourishes follicles with fresh blood supply and oxygen
3. Helps to break down scar tissue and adhesions
4. Helps cysts to dissolve
5. Helps to resolve blockages in the fallopian tubes
6. Re-aligns uterus, as in the case of a prolapsed or “tilted” uterus
7. Relieves stress and anxiety, releasing emotional blockages
8. Improves digestion and absorption of nutrients
9. Helps to regulate the menstrual cycle (addresses cramps, heavy bleeding, irregular cycles, reduces clotting)
10. Restores healthy menstrual flow in amenorrhea
11. Improves, tones and cleanses the uterine lining
12. Helps to prepare body to carry a healthy pregnancy, a key ingredient in the case of frequent miscarriage
FOR MEN:
1. Increases blood flow to the reproductive organs
2. Regulates enlarged prostate
3. Improves sperm (count, motility and morphology)
4. Improves digestion and absorption of nutrients

So just how do our pelvic organs become blocked and/or congested? Arvigo says 90% of women will have a misplaced or tipped uterus at some point in their lives. The causes include difficult labor and delivery with prolonged periods of pushing; poor professional care during pregnancy, labor and delivery; repeated pregnancies close together; falls to the sacrum; a career in aerobics or high impact sports and dancing; wearing high heel shoes; poor alignment of the pelvic bones with the spinal column; chronic muscle spasms around the hips, low back and sacrum; carrying young children on the hip for prolonged periods of time; rape, sexual abuse or incest at any time in life; chronic constipation; running or working on cement surfaces with improper foot support; and errors committed during surgery that cut through uterine ligaments. Any of these can damage, tear or overstretch uterine ligaments, thereby prohibiting them from properly supporting the uterus and causing it to eventually fall down (inferior), backward (retro), forward (antero), or causing it to shift either to the left or right side of the pelvic floor.”

When reproductive organs shift out of proper position, they can constrict normal flow of blood, lymph and nerve connections. Just a few extra ounces sitting on delicate blood and lymph vessels can cause havoc throughout the different systems of the body. For women, by gently shifting the uterus back into place, homeostasis (or the natural internal balance of the body) is brought back to the pelvic area and surrounding organs. Toxins are flushed and nutrients that help to tone tissue and balance hormones are restored to normal order. This is essential for conception. Old adhesions from invasive treatments to the pelvic and abdominal area, are diminished gradually and safely when addressed by uterine massage.

For men, the massage also addresses and prevents a congested or swollen prostate by maintaining proper blood supply and fluid drainage, thereby preventing swelling and inflammation.

When to Receive Arvigo Maya Abdominal Massage:
For best results, start ATMAM 90 days before beginning ART and commit to a minimum of one treatment per month from ATMAM practitioner in conjunction with a self-care routine at home. Men can receive ATMAM anytime but women have special considerations depending on the time of the cycle, ART treatments and contraceptives.

Special instructions for women:
Receive MAM after period and before ovulation, trigger shot or retrieval. If you are in the process of doing a donor cycle then you can have an abdominal massage anytime before transfer. In the case where you are taking birth control pills due to cysts, you can receive ATMAM anytime, which may help to resolve your cysts very quickly.”

Fertility--Easter, Eostre, Estrus, Estrogen Equinox by Elizabeth Carpenter, MS, L.Ac., CEFP

Published Sunday, April 24, 2011



I often wondered as a child growing up in a vitally Christian home, why a Super Bunny cooked, painted and delivered chicken eggs along with chocolate images of himself...all on the holiest day in the Christian calendar.  We always had an Easter egg hunt and built a bunny hutch out of pine tree sprigs for him to rest and restore himself in...complete with carrots--tops on.  I was one of those children that was particularly devastated to learn that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny were fictions.  I had totally bought in and clung on as long as I could.  Today I find Easter's stories moving, meaningful and inspiring:  death and resurrection, fertility and new life.

Easter is named for the Anglo-Saxon lunar goddess, Eostre--also the root of the female hormone estrogen.  She was celebrated on the first full moon after the Spring Equinox (March 22).  Fertility festivals and rites celebrated the fecundity of the earth, its ability to give forth life.  Animals were in estrus (heat) or bearing offspring.  Myth has Eostre mating with the sun god to conceive a child that would be born 13 moons later, at the Yule, or winter solstice (December 21).

Eostre was symbolized by the egg (potential for new life) and the hare (fecund breeder) that appeared in the full moon. 

Other parts of the Easter story hark to death and resurrection of a hero, child or lover (Osiris, Dionysis, etc.) and other principals of the mystery cults that were popular competitors in Christianity's early years.

Like the Christmas tree and Santa, the integration of Easter's pagan and other symbols is not particularly well explained.  And many rail against it.  But I find it wonderful.

To me these juxtapositions and layers are great call to experiencing meaning in our lives.  I find the invitation to align ourselves with the energy of spring quite compelling.  Spring is very much a heightening of our fertility whether that be conceiving children, beginning a new life chapter, birthing a project, climbing out of the restful introspective energy of winter or any other progression or metamorphosis.

The idea of resurrection is strong in the 5 Phase cycle of Chinese cosmology, one of the founding theories of Chinese medicine.  The winter season of water represents death and descent into the depth.  Unseen activities, deep nourishment of internal waters, make the pushing through, birth-into-being energy of spring possible. Spring arrives as a miracle, seemingly out of nowhere, a radiant infusion of new life.

I am also energized by the celebration of intervention. The notion that something greater than ourselves--the moon, nature, God, The Great Mother, Universe, Source... whatever one's spiritual alignment is--is active in our lives, plotting a rhythm we are wise to fall in with. I find this both challenging and reassuring.  Everyday as I observe my own life and the lives of those that trust me with their health, I notice that fertility and well-being lie in aligning ourselves with these greater processes and forces. The cycles of our bodies, the cycles of growth and aging, the cycles of relationships, the cycles of nature.  The opportunity to let situations and parts of ourselves die only to give birth to something better, more of who we are, more of what we are capable of, more of who we are called to be in this precious short time on earth we call "our life."

I don't really eat those marshmallow chicks anymore, with the yellow #5 dye, but I always look forward to the homemade chocolate peanut butter eggs and if a dark chocolate bunny appears, I won't say no.

Hormone Balance in Your 40's to 50's by Elizabeth Carpenter, MS, L.Ac., CEFP

Published Wednesday, March 16, 2011
  Speak privately with Elizabeth about your Women's Health & Hormone needs.

“It’s all in your head.” Only recently, this was not uncommon thinking and the professional medical response to women suffering from the hormone instability natural to the decade or more prior to menopause.

Even now we see patients being given anti-depressants first and questions asked later. Sometimes she is offered birth control pills. But many women in their 30’s and 40’s either don’t want to be on medication or they are hoping to conceive.

Just as we think of puberty as the ramp UP to hormone stability and peak fertility, peri-menopause is the ramp DOWN. We've spiraled around for a second run on the same issues: cycle changes, mood swings, wired-tired, insomnia, concentration issues, acne, anatomical changes, body image issues, attention span shifts, metabolism & weight changes and more.

And, just like in puberty, with all of these changes we're invited to deep pondering and reflection…another opportunity to ask, “Who am I? What do I want in my life? How do I want to DO my life? What turns me on? What isn’t working for me?”

If the menopausal years are the Driver’s Seat—you’ve cracked your career and are enjoying the privileges, or you are making a career change that expresses your talent and interest more authentically, you know who you are, your self-expression is full, you’ve made some money, your kids are independent—then the decade or so leading up is your Learner’s Permit.

You’re in a maturity transition.  :)

This is a natural stage of life. The physical changes in your cycle, energy, cognition and other aspects of your health are NOT just about aging. They are largely about – and can largely be controlled by—your attention to yourself!

In these years we tend to be gunning hard. We’re full throttle professionally; we’ve earned our place. We’re multi-tasking like sorceresses—family, career, aging parents, children, pets, household. And very often we’ve depended on will-power and the regenerative mojo of youth to sustain the pace!

But now the piper needs a payment. And while it may seem like an inconvenience after so many years of doing as we pleased, she’s not exacting a very high price. But default on your payment at your peril!!!

To enjoy the abundance of this time of life and minimize or ELIMINATE many of the symptoms, we need to pay attention to our bodies through nutrition, exercise, sleep. We need to make alone time for introspection to ask those key questions. We need to prioritize and attend to ourselves! “Work smarter not harder”—genius and true.  And for goodness sakes, we need to lighten up and PLAY more.

There is SO much you can do to have an easier and much more enjoyable hormone transition! Talk to us! Get off the hormone roller coaster!

Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine, Maya Abdominal Massage, Nutrition, Counseling and Yoga – every single one of these has been changing women’s lives for thousands of years.

You’re hitting your prime! . . . Enjoy it!

Call or email Oriens to find out how You can be supported through your transition!

2 Studies Suggest Acupuncture Works for Menstrual Pain

Published Tuesday, January 18, 2011
  

Interesting study published in the British Journal of Obstetrics finds acupuncture may be effective at reducing the pain and discomfort experienced by women who are going through their menstrual period. Researchers evaluated 27 studies that included over 3,000 participating women. From these, the they concluded that there is "promising evidence" concerning the viability of acupuncture in treating menstrual pain.

 “The Kyung Hee Medical Center research team that conducted the study found that patients who underwent acupuncture treatment experienced a greater reduction in pain than did those who relied on drug treatments. They were unable to verify, however, whether or not the treatment actually affects women's nervous systems when providing relief.”

Separately, research was published in the journal, Brain Research, verifying that acupuncture treatments legitimately work neurally to deactivate the portions of the brain that process feelings of pain. Their scientific analysis gives tangible credence to what many already recognize as a reality concerning the effectiveness of acupuncture. Their study will also likely increase the acceptance of acupuncture as a viable treatment among mainstream medical professionals.”

Try Acupuncture if you are experiencing painful periods. Or give us a call to explain your situation and learn if acupuncture could help!  212-213-5785

Eliminate PMS with Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine

Published Wednesday, January 05, 2011


Premenstrual syndrome, or PMS, is a group of symptoms that start one to two weeks before your period. Most women have at least some symptoms of PMS, and the symptoms go away after their periods start. In recent literature it is noted that as many as 80% of women experience some form of PMS at some time or another. 30-40% of these women have PMS severe enough to interfere with their day to day lives!

One reason why Traditional Chinese medicine is so beneficial in treating symptoms of PMS is because the therapy involved focuses on treating the root of the problem rather then just the present symptoms. Because most of the symptoms related to PMS are subjective many Western practitioners are at a loss when it comes to treating PMS and are quick to prescribe medications or recommend over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen, aspirin or naproxen.

Please be aware that  you do not need to be experiencing this pain and discomfort every month! When the symptoms of PMS are reduced or eliminated, women feel more energetic -- physically, mentally, emotionally and creatively.

Some of the symptoms related to PMS include but are not limited to:
Abdominal bloating and cramps, breast tenderness & swelling, mood changes (irritability, frustration, depression, anxiety), acne, back pain, fatigue, food cravings, headaches, insomnia, joint pain, water retention, dizziness.

Please read an Oriens article we hope you'll find useful.

 Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment: Treating the Root

Acupuncture and Chinese herbs have been widely and successfully used to treat PMS.
The symptoms of PMS may defer from woman to woman; what is unique and special about TCM treatments are that the variations in each woman's condition are acknowledged. Most women respond very well to acupuncture and Chinese herbal treatment in combination with dietary changes, exercise, and working on their emotional well being.

In traditional Chinese medicine, groups of symptoms, or syndromes, are typically classified into patterns that involve the internal organs and/or energy pathways of the body. The major organ systems that are primarily involved in the PMS pattern differentiation are the Liver, Heart, Spleen and Kidney

Liver Qi Stagnation pattern: Emotional stress is one of the main contributors to the Liver Qi Stagnation pattern of PMS. Other clinical manifestations include headache, breast tenderness, depression, irritability, and a feeling of distention or pain under the rib cage.

Heart Blood Deficiency pattern: Chronic illness or excessive menstrual blood loss contributes to Heart Blood Deficiency pattern of PMS. Other clinical symptoms include: Heart palpitations, dizziness, insomnia, emotional upset, speaking incoherently, sadness, fatigue/sluggishness, poor memory and dull-pale complexion.

Spleen Qi or Yang Deficiency pattern: Poor diet and emotional stresses are the main causes for Spleen qi and yang deficiency pattern of PMS. Clinical manifestations include: feeling weak and lethargic, edema of the lower body, easily able to bruise, bearing down sensation of the abdomen/ uterus, pale face, shallow breathing, loose stools.

Kidney Qi or Yang Deficiency pattern:
A pattern of menstrual disorders with Kidney Yang Deficiency will often include back soreness before and during menstruation, fatigue, watery menstrual blood, diarrhea just before menstruation, cramps after menstruation begins, ringing in the ears, or a feeling of cold in the body.

*It is important to note that most women have more then one pattern diagnosis as the cause of their PMS symptoms, therefore you may have symptoms from one or all patterns described above.

Come into the clinic 1-2 times per week for acupuncture.  If you like, we  will also prescribe a  Chinese herbal formula for you to take as well. To effectively treat the root cause of the PMS, it takes approximately three menstrual cycles. Some women will see a reduction in their symptoms right away while others it may take a longer period of time. Stress levels, lifestyle, and general health are important factors involved in response time.

Thyroid, Perimenopause & Infertility by Elizabeth Carpenter, MS, L.Ac., CEFP

Published Tuesday, November 09, 2010

 Speak with Elizabeth about your health  212-213-5785.

Thyroid issues are underlying so many women’s health concerns in peri-menopause (the decade leading up to menopause) and over 35. 

In my practice, it’s now my routine to send almost every woman straight back to her GYN or RE for FULL labs on thyroid – not just TSH!  It’s impossible to know what’s going on by looking at TSH in isolation.  More times than not it needs support in order to get traction in the more obvious issues showing up:  the symptoms she is complaining of (such as constipation, stubborn weight, wired-tired and insomnia), or for fertility patients, an embryo (natural conception or assisted reproduction) progressing to become a healthy pregnancy.  Thyroid is a key player in many systems, so eventually thyroid imbalance will most likely lead to other problems as well.

This link takes you to an abstract of some research indicating women in the highest 25 percentile range of having the chemical PFFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid) and PFFOS (perfluoroctane sulphonate) in their bodies were TWICE as likely as other women to have thyroid disease at the time of testing.  This stuff is found in the industrial compound used in non-stick cookware! (among other places)

What to do….

  • Check out the new Thyroid Book In the Oriens waiting room (or click the book icon below) by one of my favorite teachers—Dr. Datis Kharrazian—whose courses in functional endocrinology, thyroid and more have revolutionized the east-west/natural-traditional integrative practice model. 

  • Have your GYN or RE run FULL labs on your thyroid—including thyroid antibodies check.  If you have values out of line in any panel, before you jump on synthetic replacement hormones, come see Sharon  or me to review options and discuss whether a natural support strategy makes sense for you or if indeed you’d be better served by the straight western route.

  • Go for ceramic coated iron or plain ceramic cookware or glass cookware.  They handle high heats well and are pretty non-stick.  Aluminum, stainless steel, uncoated iron, Teflon—all of these leach hazardous ions/metals.
