👅 What Your Tongue Tells Us in TCM

Your tongue is a window into your internal health.
In TCM, we look at the color, shape, coating, and moisture to assess things like digestive strength, inflammation, fluid balance, and even emotional stress.

If your tongue is swollen, pale, cracked, or has a thick coating—it’s telling us something important. And we listen.

Hot flashes? Meet your new breakfast bestie 🌸🥣

When your day starts with a breakfast that tastes amazing and supports your hormones, you’re already winning. This creamy, protein-rich yogurt bowl is designed to help reduce hot flashes, steady energy, and keep your mind clear – all while feeling like a treat.

✨ Why it helps with hot flashes:

• From a TCM perspective, the fresh figs and yogurt help nourish yin and fluids, which can cool the body and ease heat symptoms like night sweats and hot flashes. The 4 Mushroom Blend (Reishi, Maitake, Shiitake, Lion’s Mane) supports the Heart and Kidney systems, calms the Shen (mind), and boosts qi for better resilience.
• From a functional nutrition perspective, the Greek yogurt delivers protein and helpful probiotics for blood sugar balance and gut health. Marine collagen supports skin elasticity (often impacted by estrogen changes), while the mushroom blend provides beta-glucans and antioxidants to regulate inflammation and improve stress response. Walnuts add omega-3s for brain and heart health, while chia seeds provide plant-based protein and fiber for satiety.💚

Recipe:
• 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
• 1 fresh fig, cut into quarters
• 1 scoop marine collagen
• 1/2 tsp 4 Mushroom Blend
• 4 Walnuts, roughly chopped
• 1 Tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tsp raw honey (optional)

How to make:
1. Add yogurt to a bowl.
2. Mix in marine collagen, chia and mushroom blend until smooth.
3. Top with sliced figs and walnuts.
4. Drizzle with honey if desired. Enjoy slowly, ideally in a calm setting to support digestion.

Summer is actually the perfect time to support your blood sugar. 🍓☀️
Less stress. Lighter meals. More sunshine = more metabolic support.

But skipping meals and running on coffee and fruit snacks? That’ll crash your energy fast.

Try this instead:

✅ Don’t skip breakfast
✅ Add 25g+ of protein per meal
✅ Hydrate with minerals, not just plain water
✅ Snack on veggies + beet or hummus dip

Your body (and hormones) will thank you.
