Episode 041: Harnessing the Energy of Spring and the Role of the Liver in Health & Fertility: a TCM perspective

Dr. Katie Rose Episode 41

Spring is the season of renewal, growth, and fresh energy—just like your fertility journey. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this time of year is closely tied to the liver, an organ that plays a crucial role in detoxification, emotional balance, and reproductive health. When the liver is in harmony, hormones flow smoothly, emotions feel lighter, and fertility is naturally supported. But when it’s stagnant, it can lead to stress, hormonal imbalances, and feeling stuck—both physically and emotionally.

In this episode, I explore the deep connection between the liver, spring energy, and fertility from a TCM perspective. You’ll learn how to work with your body and the season to gently release tension, improve circulation, and invite more ease into your life.
