Back to EpisodesPCOS, Menopause & Fertility: What You’re Not Told About Hormone Health - with Dr Suzi Craig
Description
Hormone symptoms are common, but they’re not normal. So why are so many women left in the dark?
In this episode of The True Form Podcast, I’m joined by Dr Suzi Craig, a Chinese Medicine Practitioner, fertility specialist, and advocate for integrative women’s health. With a background in both traditional Chinese medicine and reproductive science, Dr Suzi offers a unique perspective on hormone balance, fertility, and long-term wellbeing.
🎙️ We discuss:
– What most people misunderstand about PCOS, menopause, and fertility
– The Chinese medicine view of cycles, energy, and hormonal shifts
– Why “normal” doesn’t always mean healthy when it comes to periods and symptoms
– The impact of stress, diet, and environment on your hormones
– Supporting IVF, endometriosis, or perimenopause with an integrative approach
– How acupuncture, herbs, and lifestyle changes can help restore balance

Most people don't struggle because they lack motivation. They struggle because they've been given the wrong approach, too much focus on extremes, not enough on sustainability.
True Form Coaching is different.
This isn't a generic program. It's personal coaching built around you, your schedule, your goals, your life. Together, we work across three areas that drive real, lasting change:
Mind - how you think, focus, and manage stress
Body - how you train, move, and fuel yourself
Identity - who you become through the process
