214 | Neurology Meets Acupuncture: Dr. Amy Ly's Guide to Midlife Wellness for Women

Welcome back, midlife mavens, to episode 214 of the Life Coach BFF Show! I'm your host, Heather Pettey, and I'm thrilled to be joined by my fabulous co-host, Dr. Carol Lynn. Today, we're in for a treat as we welcome Dr. Amy Ly, a board-certified neurologist and medical acupuncturist who's about to blow our minds with her unique blend of Eastern and Western medicine.

Dr. Ly isn't just any physician – she's a fourth-generation healer in her family's lineage of acupuncturists and Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners. Imagine growing up learning these ancient healing arts from your grandfather and father! 

Get ready to explore the fascinating intersection of neurology, acupuncture, and midlife wellness. We'll be diving into how Dr. Ly's integrated approach can help with everything from hot flashes to headaches, and maybe even turn back the clock on some of those pesky midlife symptoms.

So grab your favorite cup of tea (or coffee, we won't judge!), get comfy, and prepare to be amazed. Let's dive into this enlightening conversation with Dr. Amy Ly!
