Menstrual Illnesses

DID YOU KNOW… that many menstrual disorders become much easier to treat once you understand the physiology of the menstrual cycle?

Painful periods. Heavy bleeding. Missing periods. Irregular cycles. PMS. While these conditions may appear unrelated, they often arise from disruptions in the same underlying physiological processes.

In the Women’s Great Turning Program, Suzanne Connole teaches practitioners how to understand menstrual illness through the lens of Great Turning physiology and classical East Asian medicine. Rather than memorizing treatments for individual symptoms, you’ll learn how to identify the patterns that give rise to those symptoms and determine the appropriate treatment strategy.

Through case studies drawn from our own practices, Suzanne demonstrates how experienced clinicians distinguish between patients who appear similar on the surface but require entirely different approaches. You’ll learn how to think through a case, identify the key physiological relationships that have become disrupted, and choose formulas with confidence and clarity.

The focus is not simply on what formula to use, but on understanding why the formula is appropriate. As your understanding of physiology deepens, diagnosis becomes more intuitive and treatment becomes more effective.

Students are encouraged to bring questions and menstrual cases from their own practices for discussion. These conversations often become some of the most valuable learning experiences in the course, allowing practitioners to apply what they are learning directly to their clinical work.

You’ll also receive exclusive eBooks compiled and translated by Sharon Weizenbaum containing case studies, formula discussions, classical source material, and clinical commentary related to menstrual health. As the course progresses, these resources become part of a substantial women’s health reference library that you can continue to use long after the program is complete.

The goal is not simply to learn how to treat menstrual symptoms. The goal is to understand the physiology that creates them so that you can practice with greater confidence, effectiveness, and joy.
