The Wellness Catch-Up: Menstrual Cycle Wins, Chinese Medicine for Fertility & Endocrine Disruptors in Your Home (Ep. 69)
Episode 69
Wednesday, 6 May, 2026
Life updates, hormone wins, and holistic health deep dives — we are back with a raw, real catch-up episode you don't want to miss. In this week's catch-up episode of The Wellness Effect, we share personal health updates that are equal parts exciting and eye-opening. Jensen reveals a potential breakthrough in her menstrual cycle after completing a parasite cleanse — her shortest cycle in three years. Lacey opens up about her first acupuncture experience with a Chinese medicine practitioner on her fertility journey, unpacking what pulse reading, meridians, and liver qi stagnation actually mean for hormone health. Kira gets vulnerable about her emotional thaw after years of fertility struggles, sharing how she's finally reconnecting with the joy of creating holiday memories for her kids. We also get into the dangers of toxic household products like Scentsy and dryer sheets as endocrine disruptors, and Jensen's plans to start making home-cooked, whole-food meals for her dog Stevie, who has been dealing with pancreatitis and GI issues. Key Takeaways 1. Parasite cleansing may support hormonal and menstrual health. 2. Chinese medicine and acupuncture offer a whole-body lens on fertility. 3. Everyday scented products are endocrine disruptors harming your hormones.
