Understanding Insomnia During Perimenopause - WHY is this happening all of a sudden? During perimenopause, Estrogen and Progesterone fluctuate dramatically. These hormones don't only affect reproductive health, your hormones also influence the brain chemicals that regulate sleep and mood. Estrogen interacts with neurotransmitters like serotonin, GABA, and melatonin, all of which play important roles in helping us fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake feeling rested. As these hormones change, many people notice: Difficulty falling asleep Waking between 2–4 a.m. Night sweats Anxiety Brain fog Fatigue Feeling "wired but tired" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153bbdd7fec645acdca2bb8/e94832d1-074c-4702-88d0-e0247ea108c2/Al-46.jpg Blog - Why Can’t I Sleep Anymore? Understanding Insomnia During Perimenopause Some Things I Want to Say Clearly: Perimenopause is something I treat well regularly. Especially those struggling with Insomnia Perimenopause affects much more than your reproductive health! Hormonal Health is Everything It’s Sleep, Energy Levels, Mental Health, Brain Function, Bone Health, Headache and Migraine Support, and More! Of course, I love to help everyone sleep better- whether you are going through Perimenopause or not. Nice thing about Acupuncture is we are treating things both specifically and holistically. We can focus on the symptom and the context, while also looking at how everything is connected. Which is especially important with Hormonal Health where so many different body systems are affected by your Hormones! https://www.alreedacupuncture.com/blog/why-acupuncture-is-part-of-my-training-routine monthly 0.5 2026-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153bbdd7fec645acdca2bb8/c963d473-da88-42ba-87ed-bc004b449f32/unnamed-3.jpg Blog - Why Acupuncture Is Part of My Training Routine - When I was a kid, I was a long distance runner and did both track and cross country. I stopped after tearing up my knees. And also wanting a break from logging a bunch of miles as a huge part of identity. So after a casual 20 year break, I decided to give it another go. I have always been pretty active, but thought getting back into running was going to be too hard on my knees and hips. https://www.alreedacupuncture.com/blog/blog-post-title-one-tmafd-n5gyk monthly 0.5 2026-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153bbdd7fec645acdca2bb8/1713995633139-JZ3TI3YKCRTIYGDKRF4U/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Acupuncture for Hiking Aches and Pains - Do you find yourself getting more active outside via Hiking your favorite PNW hikes?

What does that mean? Using acne as an example, Acupuncturists are thinking about why you are more prone to even getting acne in the first place. Could it be hormonal fluctuations? Could it be related to digestion? Could it be excess heat or dampness in the body? https://www.alreedacupuncture.com/blog/acupuncture-for-motor-vehicle-accident-recovery monthly 0.5 2025-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153bbdd7fec645acdca2bb8/1716392755698-SJFGI925QRYXOZCL1Q2H/Acu+for+hiking.png Blog - Acupuncture for Motor Vehicle Accident Recovery - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.alreedacupuncture.com/blog/why-cupping-is-the-best-of-the-best monthly 0.5 2025-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153bbdd7fec645acdca2bb8/1757971279447-TFVN4OI2I4ACQ4B7CNAM/Al-25.jpg Blog - Why Cupping Is the Best of the Best What Is Cupping? Cupping involves placing small round cups on the skin to create suction. This suction gently lifts the skin and muscle tissue, helping to release tension, improve circulation, and bring fresh blood flow to the area. There are different styles — like fire cupping, where a flame is briefly held inside the cup before it’s placed on the skin (no, it doesn’t burn you). Cups can be kept still or moved across the muscles, depending on what your body needs. When performed by a licensed acupuncturist, cupping is both safe and effective. Why It’s the Best Pain Relief – Melts away tight shoulders, stiff necks, and sore muscles. Circulation Boost – Brings fresh, oxygen-rich blood to areas that need healing. Immune Support – Stimulates a healthy immune response + gets lymph moving. Stress Reset – Deeply relaxing and tension-melting (goodbye, overwhelm ) https://www.alreedacupuncture.com/blog/why-acupuncturists-are-the-gold-standard-for-needle-based-therapies monthly 0.5 2025-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153bbdd7fec645acdca2bb8/360c2f7b-847e-4bf9-89c9-df32f50956b9/IMG_2486.jpeg Blog - Why Acupuncturists Are the Gold Standard for Needle-Based Therapies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.alreedacupuncture.com/blog/blog-post-title-one-tmafd monthly 0.5 2025-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153bbdd7fec645acdca2bb8/1713195831162-HQ8JCCB6KQFWELFB3ZLJ/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Acupuncture for Allergies - Love the flowers but hate the clogged sinuses?

You might notice yourself already rubbing these points to open up your sinuses so you can ahhhh... breathe again. Tiny little needles in those spots really help bring the relief to another level. https://www.alreedacupuncture.com/blog/acupuncture-for-neurodiversity monthly 0.5 2025-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153bbdd7fec645acdca2bb8/dd5c6446-0685-4742-8854-42b90a1aa8f5/IMG_4130.jpeg Blog - Acupuncture for Neurodiversity Acupuncture creates an intentional space to connect and feel safe with oneself that empowers individuals to embrace the unique way that they sense the world around them. It can help an individual slow down and connect with their body- a very rare treat in our overstimulating world. This slow down can help people with sensory regulation, proprioception (knowing and sensing where your body is and how it moves in spaces), stress reduction, and support their environmental and communication needs. https://www.alreedacupuncture.com/blog/now-offering-microneedling monthly 0.5 2025-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153bbdd7fec645acdca2bb8/834b6aaf-2c3f-43f4-88cc-1c450a7fe9ef/Micro.png Blog - Now offering Microneedling! - Make it stand out Microneedling, or sometimes called Collagen Induction Therapy, is a safe and natural way to regenerate and reinvigorate your skin. It does so by creating thousands of tiny micro-punctures in the top layer of your skin to stimulate the body’s own healing process and increase collagen and elastin levels in the skin. It is the perfect mix of natural beautification for those who love both Acupuncture and skin care! Like Acupuncture, it is minimally invasive. And it can offer big results such as smoother, brighter, firmer skin. It is also great at helping reduce the appearance of acne scarring, hyperpigmentation spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. In the above photo, you can see what two treatments of Microneedling can offer the skin, specifically noticing the brighter tone, the overall firmer skin, the lift in the skin around the mouth, cheekbone, and the eyes, the reduction of lines around the mouth, nose, and eyes. Also around the chin, there is some reduction in acne scarring that will only continue more with the next Microneedling treatment! Here, I would recommend to the patient to get 1-2 more treatments to help with the acne scars. Overall, the patient has been really happy with the results, and she noted how much she notices the increased brightness and color to her face immediately after each session. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153bbdd7fec645acdca2bb8/ef97ddfd-ceb5-49d7-8813-c86c1aba72ad/Copy+of+Al+Reed+Carousel.png Blog - Now offering Microneedling! Also like Acupuncture, Microneedling works best in a sequence rather than as a one off treatment. Sure one can be really helpful but it’s unlikely to get to the root.It is recommended that people who have never had Microneedling before to start with a 3 sessions spaced out every 4-6 weeks.
