About Our Guest On Today's Show:

Dr. Lyndsey Tucker - Doctor of Acupuncture ,

Sound healing Practitioner, Reiki Master

Dr. Tucker is a Doctor of Acupuncture in Alberta Canada. She holds two 4 year diplomas in Acupuncture and Dr. TCM. In addition to her base training she has attended continuing education classes through the Acutonics Institute of Integrated Medicine in Sound healing, Low FODMAP diet training through Monash University in Australia as well as focusing on expanding her dietary therapy knowledge with TCM Herbs and foods through CEU credits.

Dr. Tucker has a particular interest in women's health, focusing on Non fertility based menstrual health. She believes you deserve healthy happy menstrual health regardless of your desires to conceive a child.
