Dr. Heidi Lovie, DACM is a New York City based Chinese medicine practitioner and educator. Her clinical work focuses on women’s health, autoimmune conditions, and perimenopause, with particular attention to how endocrine shifts influence immune expression and long-standing patterns. Beyond her work with Hashimoto’s, she is known for integrating modern lab data, including comprehensive thyroid and hormone panels, into the diagnostic framework of Chinese medicine, using it to clarify rather than replace traditional pattern differentiation. Dr. Lovie’s teaching centers on the complexity of real-world presentations, where symptoms rarely follow clean textbook patterns. She explores perimenopause as a physiological transition that reshapes systems such as the Chong Mai, Blood, and Bao Mai requiring a shift in how practitioners interpret and treat what is often mislabeled as decline. Dr. Lovie is a graduate of and former instructor and supervisor at Pacific College of Health and Science, has lectured for Pacific Center for Lifelong Learning, and is a returning speaker for Pacific Symposium.
