I get it. New year energy hits and suddenly everything feels possible.

But here's what most people miss: Your nervous system decides how well any of that actually works.

Before the goals. Before the push to become someone "better." You need to start with the foundation: your nervous system.

It controls how well you sleep, how you digest your food, how you respond to stress, and how sustainable any change actually is.

When your nervous system is overloaded, even the best intentions feel exhausting. You start strong and burn out by February.

When it's supported?
🤍 Consistency becomes easier.
🤍 Focus softens.
🤍 Your body feels safer trying something new.

January doesn't need force. It needs stability.

Acupuncture supports your nervous system by regulating stress hormones, improving sleep quality, and helping your body shift out of survival mode. It creates the foundation that your plans can actually stand on. 👍

Slow care now means steadier progress later.

If supporting your nervous system feels like the right first step, I still have some spots for January. Book through the link in bio!

Taiwanese researchers discovered acupuncture triggering stem cell release healing damaged organs naturally. Scientists at China Medical University found that electroacupuncture at specific meridian points stimulates bone marrow to release mesenchymal stem cells into circulation, which then migrate to injured organs and promote tissue repair. This mechanism explains acupuncture's therapeutic effects through measurable biological processes rather than placebo.

Traditional Chinese medicine has used acupuncture for thousands of years, but Western medicine dismissed it as placebo due to lack of biological mechanism. Taiwanese researchers using advanced imaging and cellular tracking discovered that needle stimulation at specific points triggers measurable stem cell mobilization—providing the first clear biological explanation for acupuncture's effects.

Electroacupuncture (needles with mild electrical current) at ST36 (Zusanli point) and GV20 (Baihui point) causes a 300% increase in circulating stem cells within 24 hours. These mobilized stem cells express homing signals drawing them to damaged tissues—injured liver, heart, kidneys, or brain—where they differentiate into organ-specific cells and release healing factors. It's like acupuncture triggers the body's internal repair dispatch system.

Stroke patients receiving electroacupuncture within 48 hours of stroke showed 40% better functional recovery than those receiving standard care alone. Liver cirrhosis patients showed reduced fibrosis markers. Heart attack survivors demonstrated improved cardiac function. The mechanism is entirely biological—traced stem cells from bone marrow to damaged organs. Skeptical Western physicians are reconsidering acupuncture given this mechanistic evidence. We're discovering that ancient healing practices work through sophisticated biological mechanisms science is only now capable of detecting.

As we settle into the new year, I want to pause and say thank you.

Thank you for trusting me with your health. For showing up to appointments even when life was full. For being honest about what your body was carrying. For allowing me to be part of your healing process. This work means so much to me!

To my family and friends, thank you for your patience, your quiet support, and for holding space for me in ways you may not even realize. For the check-ins, shared meals, and conversations that reminded me who I am beyond work.

My hope for you is rest. Real rest. Not just time off, but the kind where your body actually feels settled. The kind where your nervous system can exhale.

I hope 2026 brings more moments of presence, nourishing meals, meaningful connections, and space to slow down as you begin what’s next!

One of the things I try to make during the holidays is a simple ginger-garlic chicken soup.

Nothing fancy and definitely not a typical holiday dish. Just chicken, lots of fresh ginger and garlic, some mushrooms, a squeeze of lemon, and whatever greens I have on hand.

It's warm, it's comforting, and it's packed with ingredients that actually support your immune system.

✅ Ginger reduces inflammation.
✅ Garlic has natural antiviral properties.
✅ Mushrooms boost white blood cell production.
✅ Citrus gives you vitamin C.
✅ Greens provide the nutrients your body needs to stay strong.

And the best part? It tastes good. No one is thinking "this is healthy food." They're just enjoying it!

(I talk more about natural ways to support your immunity during flu season in my recent blog - link in bio.)

I love that food can be medicine without feeling like a chore. Especially during the holidays when you're already juggling a million things.

Your immune system needs support this time of year - between the stress, the lack of sleep, the sugar, and everyone gathering indoors.

What do you love making during the holidays?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today I'm grateful for my family, my practice, and the people who trust me with their health.

There's something about this season that reminds me why I do this work. It's not just about the treatments - it's about helping people feel good enough to actually show up for the moments that matter.

The dinners. The chaos. The laughter. All of it.

I hope you're spending today with people you love, eating good food, and feeling present for it all.

What are you grateful for this year? 👇

"Should I try probiotics or acupuncture for my digestion?"

Here's my honest answer: Acupuncture.

Probiotics and digestive enzymes can help. I even recommend them to some patients.

But here's the difference: You need to take supplements every day, and they work on one specific part of digestion, essentially adding something external to compensate for what your body isn't doing.

Acupuncture addresses the root cause of WHY your digestion isn't working properly in the first place. (It's like the difference between giving your car more gas versus fixing the engine.) It...

✅ resets your body's natural ability to produce the right enzymes
✅ regulate stomach acid
✅ move food through properly
✅ manage the stress that's messing with your gut.

You're not just adding something from the outside - you're restoring your body's internal balance. After several treatments, many of my patients need fewer supplements because their body starts doing the work on their own again.

That doesn't mean you'll never need probiotics or enzymes. Some people benefit from both!

But if you've been relying on supplements for months (or years) and still dealing with bloating, irregular bowel movements, or discomfort after eating, it might be time to look deeper.

Your body knows how to digest food. Sometimes it just needs help remembering how.
