Several things can cause low libido in women: hormonal imbalances, anxiety, depression, poor communication between partners, underlying health conditions, or even exhaustion from juggling responsibilities and commitments without proper rest and relaxation.If you're experiencing low libido, treating the issue as soon as possible is essential for your physical, mental, emotional, and overall health. Fortunately, low libido is a common problem that can be treated naturally with modalities like acupuncture and herbal medicine. Acupuncture is one of the oldest healing techniques in the world. It involves placing very fine needles into your body at specific points, stimulating your body's energy flow, and helping to regulate hormone levels, blood flow, and nervous system activity.

Welcome back to "A Better Way To Health. In this episode, Dr. Shipe is diving into a problem that often doesn't have any symptoms in a patient's 20s and 30s - but as you age, it becomes a significant issue, and that's "degenerative joint disease," commonly known as "osteoarthritis." There are so many forms of arthritis; nearly 70% of individuals will encounter arthritis as we age. If you're living with arthritis symptoms, we know how challenging it can be to find relief from your joint pain. You're not alone. The breakdown of cartilage that takes root in your hips, hands, knees, lower back, elbows, and neck is painful, and weight, age, and genetics can also play a role in your risk for injury. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common type of arthritis where the arthritic joints become inflamed and can lead to long-term damage and motion loss.Let's get to the root causes of your arthritis. Fortunately, acupuncture and the modalities of care we offer at Women's Traditional Chinese Healing are safe, effective, natural, and drug-free. As a result, we can help alleviate those symptoms and get you well.

Welcome to "A Better Way to Health" with Dr. Stuart Shipe. Dr. Shipe covers irregular menstrual cycles and premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) in today's show. We're calling it "Menstrual Madness." PMS is a group of physical and emotional symptoms linked to a woman's menstrual cycle. PMS symptoms usually occur during the ten days before menses and disappear shortly before or after the start of menstrual flow. Symptoms vary from woman to woman, but each woman's symptoms are typically predictable.Changes in hormones during the menstrual cycle are an essential contributor. These changing hormone levels may affect some women more than others. Chemical changes in the brain may also be involved. Other factors such as stress, a nutritionally inadequate diet, lack of exercise and sleep, and a hectic or demanding lifestyle may exacerbate the symptoms. Tune into the show to learn how you can balance your body naturally.For more information about today's show or products, don't hesitate to contact Women's Traditional Chinese Healing through our website, www.traditionalchinesehealing.com, email us at info@traditionalchinesehealing.com, or call us at 772-398-4550.

Welcome to "A Better Way to Health" with Dr. Stuart Shipe. In today's show, Dr. Shipe covers herbal medicine.

Could herbal medicine be the best way to get well and stay well - naturally?Did you know that Dr. Shipe was once a practicing pharmacist?
