What if instead of trying to have a “Forever 35 Face” we invested our energy in daily health habits that keep your posture healthy, aka *functional.* And help us stay out of “forward head posture.” That alone would do wonders for our health. And our health IS our beauty.

Here are my tips in review:

1️⃣ Use your phone on a selfie stick instead of slumping over it like a hunchback.

2️⃣ Daily Gua Sha after a long work day to relax your neck and shoulder

3️⃣ Tongue posture training. This is the only “face excercise” I care about.

4️⃣ Stop going to bed late. This is a big game changer that very few do these days.

5️⃣ Give up iced drinks and cold foods for warm drinks and warm food. Better gut health means better quality collagen.

In many Chinese households, soup is considered essential to a proper meal. In my family, there is always a nourishing clear broth on the table, often a simple meat stock with seaweed, mung bean sprouts, tofu, cabbage, or whatever is in season.

If you grew up Chinese, you’ve probably heard your parents encourage you to sip a little ginger tea, drink hot broth, or have something a little spicy. These “开胃” (kāi wèi) practices literally mean “open the appetite,” but more accurately they prepare the digestive tract to receive food. Kai wei helps keep digestion smooth and efficient, preventing bloating, chronic gas, and food stagnation. A warm or hot (not scalding) broth lubricates and gently warms the digestive tract so your body can absorb nutrients and leave you feeling lighter after meals.

My soup today has:
1️⃣ 1-2 cups Shan yao (Chinese yam 山药) → strengthens Spleen and Stomach energy in TCM, which supports metabolism, and acts like an internal moisturizer, building yin.
2️⃣ 1-2 handfuls Wakame seaweed → a natural source of trace minerals.
3️⃣ 1 cup Cabbage → gentle, easy-to-digest nourishment, rich in vitamins and minerals (especially vitamin C, K, and folate).
4️⃣ Add water to cover ingredients, with salt + pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer until veggies and seaweed are soft. Enjoy!

✨ This Chinese health proverb recognizes what truly impacts the health of our gut and body. Not expensive supplements or drugs with side effects, but understanding the nature of your body and following its code. In this case, that means warm, nourishing soup with meals. TCM gives us the map of this code 🙌 Like and follow for more ❤️

👆see link in bio for products. I’m obsessive about protecting my collagen in the summer. I want to enjoy the sun—but this year, I wasn’t about to be wrapped head to toe in sun-protective gear like my Asian relatives.

At 50, SPF alone doesn’t cut it. I go hard on extreme moisturizing and deep hydration—because that’s the missing piece in most summer skincare routines.

Sun + heat = serious moisture loss. UV exposure already speeds up aging, but it’s the combo of UV + high temps that creates the perfect storm for collagen breakdown.

This is the exact routine I used on a recent trip to hot, sunny Greece—and my skin actually looked better after the trip than before I left.

Before and after any sun exposure, I layer on moisture like it’s a competitive sport.

Which of these pattern types are you? It’s possible that more than one fits. In TCM, we treat you—not just the symptoms—using acupuncture and herbal medicine tailored to your unique combination of symptom patterns. That’s why we say we treat the individual, not the disorder. And while I wouldn’t call menopause a disorder—it’s a natural transition—if you arrive at this Second Spring depleted and with exhausted organ systems, it’s no mystery why you might struggle with discomfort.

Want to learn more about how we work to relieve the discomforts of menopause in TCM? Join me for our first-ever monthly TCM Menopause Support Class. My intent is to teach you how we view this important life and body transition—along with practical remedies and habit changes to help you move through it with more calm and ease.

🙌 Want a FREE tutorial on how to use heat, acupressure, and gua sha to support digestion, metabolism, and inside-out weight loss? It’s part of our FREE 3-week TCM Summer Body Challenge, where we teach 5 simple rules to strengthen your gut the Chinese medicine way.

Registration closed last week… but we’re reopening it for 24 hours to give latecomers access to Class 1 playback + bonus tutorial on our favorite “TCM Ozempic” acupoints. You have until 9pm Friday 5/6 to register, after that it closes until we do it again!

In Chinese medicine, it’s not just about calories or relying on semaglutide. It’s about reviving your gut’s natural power to digest, eliminate, and burn like it did when you were younger. As we age, our Stomach and Spleen energy slows down, but these systems are key to a healthy metabolism.

💬 Drop your top 3 gut/digestion symptoms (bloating, slow digestion, GERD, peri/menopause weight, etc.) in the comments—and then hit the link in bio to join us!
