ANECDOTE

From IT To Chinese Medicine

Anissa left IT after chronic health issues and pursued Chinese medicine using a redundancy payout.
Acupuncture delivered lasting shifts in her energy and menstrual health where other approaches only helped temporarily.

ADVICE

Treat The Whole Body First

Use acupuncture and herbs to rebalance the whole body rather than targeting one symptom.
Address emotions and mindset because they affect organs and hormone regulation.

INSIGHT

Fertility Mirrors Modern Lifestyle

Fertility problems often reflect broader lifestyle and environmental changes, not just biology.
Sperm and egg quality have declined alongside processed foods, toxins, and later pregnancies.

Okay, this one is for the women who feel like they’ve tried everything — the supplements, the diets, the appointments — and are still wondering WTF is going on with their body.

This week on The Wilde Way, I’m joined by the brilliant Anissa Au — acupuncturist, Chinese medicine practitioner, and founder of Pure Alchemy. She’s been helping women get pregnant, balance their hormones, and actually feel like themselves again for nearly 20 years (so yes, she knows her sh*t).

In this episode, we get into:
✨ How Chinese medicine sees your cycle (and what it means if your period is MIA, painful, or chaotic)
✨ Acupuncture for fertility — and why it’s more than just needles
✨ TCM food wisdom: what to eat (and when) to nourish your hormones
✨ The emotional root of imbalance — and how energy medicine helps
✨ Her advice for women navigating IVF, pregnancy loss, or burnout

Plus, she shares her own story of going from IT to intuition, and the book she’s writing for women everywhere who’ve never been taught how their body actually works.

This one is juicy, healing, and so full of wisdom — ancient and modern.
