Ep 60: Prioritizing Menstrual health with lulu ge
Bailey sits down with the amazing and charming Lulu Ge, founder and CEO of Elix healing. Together they talk about their relationship, and why Lulu created Elix. How it all began with her own story of dealing with painful menstrual cycles and trying to navigate herself off prescription birth control. Through her journey she found that western medicine didn’t have the answers she was looking for besides just going back on more prescription birth controls. So, with the insight from her grandfather who ran a hospital in China, she turned to a more holistic approach through medicine from special herbs, superfood tonics, and plants.
Into her journey of using Chinese herbs to help her menstrual cycles, she found her painful symptoms declining and becoming much more manageable even by the first few months. This amazing change helped her gain more confidence with discussing it with her friends and coworkers. Instead of living in pain in silence, she was able to open up her heart and feelings around painful menstrual cycles.
What happened next was alarming for her. The pain that she thought was rare and only hers was actually much more prevalent in her friends and coworkers than she ever imagined. So many women she knew opened up to her and revealed their own cycle problems and situations. Examples of these symptoms were headaches, bloating, cramps, nausea, and many more. Knowing that she was not alone and that many women live in painful silence, made her want to help make a difference and make a change.
She wanted to share her special tonic with her friends, but she found out that her special herbs blend was tailored to her specific symptoms and needs, and really for her only. That every woman is different and depending on their cycle symptoms, body type, and so on, changes the specific herbs needed to help them.
This journey is where Elix began. A way to bring a licensed practitioner to an online experience for any woman, and to access anywhere, especially people living in rural areas. Herbs from ethically sources, advisors from certified professionals, and support from people in the community and all over the world.
Elix has grown exponentially over the last 2 years and has helped over +100,000 women. Everyday they are helping more and more women all over the world and to let them feel empowered with their cycle symptoms, and to feel better supported with their overall health.
