In this episode, Pua sits down with Karen Jee, founder of Glow Within Wellness, to explore how traditional Chinese medicine and intentional nourishment can support women’s hormonal health. Karen shares her personal healing journey from severe eczema, PCOS, and painful periods to building a wellness practice that helps women address root causes through food, balance, and gentle daily habits. This conversation is a beautiful introduction to cyclical nourishment, warm foods, seasonal eating, and the power of using food as medicine. Karen breaks down some of the foundational principles behind her work, including the importance of balance, yin and yang, the energetic qualities of food, and how women can better support their bodies throughout different phases of their cycle. She and Pua discuss why period pain may be common but not necessarily normal, how cold foods can affect digestion, the role of warm cooked meals in supporting the body, and why cravings may offer valuable insight into what the body needs. The conversation also dives into practical ways to make this work feel approachable in everyday life.
