Support Your Body Through Premature Ovarian Insufficiency

If your periods have become irregular or stopped earlier than expected, or you’re struggling with fertility and wondering what’s happening with your hormones, you deserve more than a quick explanation. Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) can affect your cycles, fertility, bone health, energy, and overall wellbeing. At Connected Healing, we combine functional medicine, Chinese medicine, and integrative therapies to look at the bigger picture and understand what may be contributing to your symptoms, while creating a personalized plan to support your hormonal health and fertility goals.

This is for you if...

  • You’ve been diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI)
  • Your periods have become irregular or stopped unexpectedly
  • You’re experiencing symptoms of low estrogen
  • You’re concerned about your fertility or ovarian function
  • You’ve been told you have diminished ovarian reserve or elevated FSH
  • You’re experiencing hot flashes, sleep changes, or other hormonal symptoms
  • You want to understand what may be contributing to changes in your ovarian function
  • You’re navigating fertility decisions following a POI diagnosis
  • You want a more comprehensive approach to your hormonal and reproductive health

A Root-Cause and Holistic Approach to Premature Ovarian Insufficiency

Premature ovarian insufficiency can have many contributing factors, and there isn’t always one simple explanation. At Connected Healing, we bring together functional medicine, Chinese medicine, and integrative therapies to understand your health from multiple perspectives. We may look at thyroid function, nutrient status, metabolic health, inflammation, stress, nervous system regulation, gut health, and other factors that can influence hormonal and reproductive health. From there, we create a personalized plan that may incorporate targeted nutrition, lifestyle changes, functional testing, Chinese medicine, and other integrative therapies to support your overall wellbeing and fertility goals.

Connected Healing is a nice place. The receptionists are kind and helpful. You never have to wait for your appointment. They're always on time and friendly. I did acupuncture for a little over 5 months in hopes of achieving pregnancy. I (likely) have hypothalmic amenorrhea. I had been doing unsuccessful fertility treatments with froedtert for years. My stagnant-for-years estrogen level tripled. I did actually have a natural ovulation and period. I didn't conceive and it didn't happen again so I ended up giving up. But that progress alone is a sign this can really work (for other people). And bonus, even weekly treatments end up being cheaper than fertility clinic stuff. It may seem pricey but if you're between this and IVF or something, it's worth the investment to try to actually heal your body instead of trying to override the body's signals that something's wrong. Long story short--- it's really worth a shot. This is a good place to land on if you're on a fertility journey.

The staff is kind, professional, and truly cares about your well-being. The treatments are gentle, effective, and tailored to your individual needs. I always leave feeling more relaxed, refreshed, and better than when I arrived. If you're looking for a place where you'll feel comfortable, cared for, and receive exceptional acupuncture treatment, this is the best place to go. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend giving Connected Healing & acupuncture a chance! I spent years with worsening symptoms that many doctors were unable to diagnose or treat. Caitria gave me hope - and after a few treatments, my daily life has completely changed for the better. The treatment plans meet you where you are at and guide you towards your healing goals.

Conventional medicine isn’t designed to find the root cause.

do any of these sound familiar?
  • Your lab results are "normal", but you struggle daily with symptoms that affect your quality of life
  • You've seen multiple doctors and are no closer to getting answers or relief
  • Your physical/mental health keeps you from living life the way you want to
  • Your doctor has told you "you'll just have to live with it"
  • You're looking for an option besides prescription medications or invasive surgery
  • You're beginning to wonder if you'll ever feel like yourself again

...you’re not alone. Most care models focus on symptoms (not systems), and they often miss the full picture and rely on
generalized protocols that don’t work for everyone.

That’s why at Connected Healing we do things differently

We bring together the best of functional medicine, Chinese medicine and holistic health to get a full-body picture of what’s happening at a foundational level so your body's naturable abilities are restored.

Frequently Asked Questions

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) occurs when the ovaries stop functioning normally before age 40. It can affect menstrual cycles, estrogen levels, fertility, bone health, and overall wellbeing. At Connected Healing, we look beyond the diagnosis to explore the factors that may be contributing to your symptoms and support your health through an integrative approach.

Functional medicine can help identify and address factors that may be affecting overall hormonal and reproductive health. At Connected Healing, we combine functional medicine with Chinese medicine and integrative therapies to look at areas such as nutrition, thyroid function, metabolic health, inflammation, stress, and nutrient status. Treatment is personalized based on your symptoms, health history, and goals.

Pregnancy can be more difficult with POI because ovarian function and ovulation may be unpredictable, but spontaneous ovulation and pregnancy can still occur in some people. Fertility options depend on your individual circumstances. Connected Healing can provide integrative support for your overall health and fertility goals while working alongside your medical or fertility care team when appropriate.
