👉 PCOS was never just about “cysts”
In fact, many women diagnosed with PCOS:
• don’t have cysts
• have normal ultrasounds
• are dealing with deeper metabolic and hormonal patterns
PCOS is a complex, whole-body condition involving things like:
• insulin resistance
• hormone signalling
• inflammation
• nervous system
Which is why symptoms can vary from person to person. And also why generic advice often falls short.
The name matters less than this:
Understanding what’s driving your symptoms.
That’s where real change happens.
We see the name change as a positive step in the right direction. One that may reduce confusion around the diagnosis and ultimately support earlier, more accurate care. Thoughts on the name change?!

We’ve been asking each of our practitioners a handful of fun little questions to give you a peek behind the scenes, beyond the treatment room.
This time, it’s Phoebe, one of our Acupuncturists and the lady that keeps Shift going day-to-day!
Phoebe is deeply passionate about supporting women through every season of health. From hormones and cycles to fertility, stress and everything in between, with care that feels both grounding and genuinely supportive.
We feel so grateful to share a little more of the humans behind Shift and hope you enjoy getting to know Phoebe a little better 🤍

And sometimes that helps… but often it doesn’t fully resolve the issue and you feel like you keep find new things that contribute to your bloating.
That’s because bloating isn’t just about what you eat, it’s about:
• how you digest
• how your gut is functioning
• what’s happening with your hormones
• how your nervous system is influencing digestion
I see this all the time in clinic. Women cutting more and more foods, adding random supplements and still feeling uncomfortable in their body.
But here’s what often gets missed 👇
Not all bloating is the same and treating it generically can make it worse.
For example:
• The wrong probiotic can increase gas and bloating
• Poor stomach acid can leave food sitting and fermenting
• Gut imbalances (like bacterial overgrowth or dysbiosis) need targeted support
• Hormonal shifts (especially PMS or perimenopause) can slow digestion and increase fluid retention
This is where comprehensive microbiome testing can be helpful to actually understand what’s happening inside your gut, rather than guessing.
Because more restriction isn’t usually the answer.
👉 The goal is to support your body so it can digest, absorb, and function properly again.
If you’re dealing with daily bloating, there is a reason for it- let’s sort it out!

RESEARCH 🥝 A randomized controlled trial ( published in 2023 shows that consuming 2 green kiwifruits daily improves constipation, reduces abdominal pain and improves overall gastrointestinal comfort.
Today can be beautiful and special, but for many it’s also deeply hard.
However this day lands for you; joy, grief, longing or something in between, it’s valid.

PMS can be linked to changes in progesterone, blood sugar or stress levels.�Painful periods may point to inflammation or conditions such as endometriosis. �Irregular cycles can reflect disrupted or absent ovulation, high stress or conditions like PCOS.�Heavy or very light bleeding can be a sign that hormones are out of balance.
These are not signs & symptoms to ignore or push through. They are signals.
Understanding your cycle gives you the opportunity to support your body earlier, rather than waiting until symptoms become more disruptive.
If your period feels unpredictable, painful or difficult to manage, it is worth exploring why. Your body is not random. Your cycle is feedback. ❤️

Moxibusion is its true name, and its action is to stimulate meridians and acupuncture points. It is incredibly effective for:
🌱Cultivating energy
🌱 Improving circulation & providing internal warmth
🌱 Relieving pain
🌱 Anti-inflammatory actions
🌱 Strengthening immunity
🌱 Enhancing healing & stopping bleeding
🌱 Boosting digestive flow
🌱 Pregnancy/reproduction
The most common form is to use moxa indirectly over the skin with a stick that looks very similar to a cigar. It also comes in small rolls or cones too which are used directly on the skin. The herbal fragrance comes from the leaves of the mugwort plant which are dried into a wool like form. This fluffy herb is then rolled/pressed. Adding herbs, oils, even salt or ginger makes it more stimulating.
Moxa has so many amazing applications and my favourite is for turning a breech baby in pregnancy. Applying moxibustion to the acupuncture point Bladder-67 has shown positive effects for helping a baby move into the optimal foetal position. Studies by Cardini & Weixin (1998), Coyle et al. (2013) and Neri et al. (2004) presented conclusive results using moxa in breech presentation.
I also love to use this herby scent for warming too. Particularly where immunity is waning and needs a little lift therefore some indirect moxa on the point called Zusanli can help zap a cold & increase white blood cells for protection. Zusanli is also famously recognised as a preventative acupoint that can ‘increase one’s vitality and longevity’.
Anyone with menstrual or reproductive issues, postpartum or infertility may also benefit from moxa This herb has an affinity toward the uterus and is a conduit for balancing pelvic disharmony.
Moxa isn’t for everyone, particularly if you show signs of heat e.g. infection, fever, headache it would most likely exacerbate your symptoms. Outside of this, moxa is a superior herb that has pride of place in clinic for a Chinese Medicine doctor.
