Healing Beyond the Diagnosis: Fertility, Trauma & the Wisdom of the Body with Nicole Lange
When you help, you see life as weak; when you fix, you see life as broken—but when you’re in service, you see life as whole and beautiful.
In this episode, Nicole Lange, a fertility and trauma-focused acupuncturist and founder of Life Healing Life, discusses her holistic approach to women’s health. Drawing from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Nicole explains how she integrates acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle support to help women navigate fertility challenges, trauma, and obesity. She shares how her practice focuses on identifying and treating patterns of imbalance rather than just symptoms, emphasizing a collaborative, person-centered model of healing. Nicole discusses the profound mind-body connection, the significance of trauma in health outcomes, and how Eastern and Western approaches can complement each other. Her analogies, like the “fire under the kettle,” illustrate how digestion, emotions, and trauma are interlinked. She also highlights the importance of self-awareness, seasonal eating, and patient empowerment in achieving sustainable health outcomes.
