Fertility begins with nourishment. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), what you eat directly shapes your blood and Qi—the foundation of reproductive health.

• Warmth matters: Cooked, warming meals protect digestion and circulation, keeping the womb fertile.
• Leafy greens & colorful veggies: Build blood, protect egg quality, and support hormone balance.
• Whole grains & legumes: Stabilize blood sugar, balance hormones, and promote regular ovulation.
• Healthy fats: Omega-3s from salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds improve uterine blood flow and support ovulation.
• Bone broth & lean protein: Nourish kidneys, build blood, and strengthen your reproductive system.
• Warming spices & herbal teas: Cinnamon, ginger, goji, and red dates warm and tonify the womb.
• Fertility herbs: Dang Gui and goji berries support hormone balance and egg quality.

Adopting a TCM fertility diet is more than eating well—it’s creating a warm, balanced environment for new life. Trust your body’s wisdom, and give it the nourishment it deserves.

Supplements are everywhere — but are they really helping you?

In this video, I share the truth behind the “healthy food and supplement” trend. More is not always better. Taking supplements without understanding your body can actually create imbalance, deficiency, and excess.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
• Why supplements aren’t one-size-fits-all
• How your needs change with each stage of life
• The dangers of following supplement fads without guidance
• Why probiotics and enzymes are often the most essential for gut health
• How working with a functional medicine practitioner or nutritionist helps you choose what your body truly needs

True health isn’t about chasing every supplement trend—it’s about balance, listening to your body, and supporting your unique needs.

If you’re considering supplements, this video will help you rethink what really matters for your health.

When it comes to cancer healing, every meal is a chance to restore balance. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, bone broth is one of the most powerful foods—it strengthens your Spleen and Stomach Qi, making digestion easier while nourishing your body with protein, phosphorus, and essential nutrients.

For cancer patients, digestion can be fragile, especially during chemotherapy. That’s why we emphasize warm, cooked meals instead of raw foods—they’re easier to absorb and gentler on immunity. A simple bowl of bone broth with lean protein, vegetables, and a touch of ginger can replace coffee or tea, calm nausea, and improve motility.

Small shifts in how you eat can create big changes in how you heal. Nourish your Qi, honor your body, and let food be part of your medicine.

It often starts small:
"Where did I put my keys?"
But over time, it can become:
"I don’t remember my child’s face."

This isn’t normal aging — it’s dementia. And it can begin years before symptoms appear.

Your brain cleans itself daily, removing waste like beta-amyloids. But aging, chronic inflammation, toxins, trauma, and even infections like COVID can slow this process — weakening the blood-brain barrier and accelerating damage.

Genes play a role, but they don’t decide your fate. Your daily choices do.

Protect your brain. Protect your story.

Heart palpitations are not a modern disease. While modern medicine often uses medications like beta blockers to manage them, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) looks deeper into the root cause — and it might not be your heart at all.

In TCM, the Heart is associated with fire, and the Liver with wood. When Liver Qi becomes too strong or stagnant, it fuels the Heart fire, making it blaze too hot. This can damage the heart channel, disrupt the flow of Qi and blood, and cause the irregular beating you feel.

From a nervous system perspective, this is like the sympathetic nervous system working overtime with no break from the parasympathetic side — often leading to feelings of anxiety alongside palpitations. But anxiety and heart palpitations aren’t always directly linked.

We’ll cover:
-The TCM view: Liver Qi stagnation, Heart fire, and the balance of Yin and Yang
-Modern parallels: The role of the vagus nerve in regulating heart rate
-Daily triggers: Overwork, dehydration, over-exercising, excess caffeine
-Natural TCM approaches: Why restoring Liver Qi can help restore Heart Qi

If your heart feels like it’s racing, it’s worth asking: is it really a heart problem — or is your Liver calling for help?

Watch now to learn how to identify triggers, restore balance, and support your heart naturally with TCM.

Postpartum healing isn’t about bouncing back.
It’s about replenishing what pregnancy drew from your blood, Qi, and essence.

In TCM, recovery matters.
After birth, fatigue, brain fog, and low immunity are signs your meridians need support.

How to Restore Balance:
• Eat deeply colored foods like beets & berries to tonify blood
• Add sour flavors (lemon, pickles) to ease Liver Qi stagnation
• Use acupressure: SP6 + PC6 for circulation, Du20 + Ren3 to lift Qi

This phase sets the foundation for lifelong health.
Support your healing now—for the woman you’re still becoming.

Feeling off before your period? You're not alone.

Mood swings, cramps, fatigue—PMS and hormone imbalance affect nearly half of women worldwide. But instead of masking symptoms, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) helps restore your body’s natural rhythm.

✨ In TCM, we don’t talk about “estrogen” or “progesterone.” We talk about balance.

PMS and perimenopause often show up as Liver Qi stagnation—caused by stress, diet, or emotional overwhelm. That stagnation? It can lead to irritability, breast tenderness, and cramps.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine work gently but powerfully to:
• Soothe mood swings
• Ease cramps and pain
• Improve sleep and anxiety
• Reduce hot flashes

Formulas like Xiao Yao San and Chaihu Shugan San support the liver, restore circulation, and bring your hormones back into harmony.

Your body knows how to heal—TCM just helps it remember.

- The best time to eat for deeper rest (between 5–7 pm)

- How stress and overwork contribute to dream-disturbed sleep
- Practical ways to rebalance your energy and calm the mind naturally

Autoimmunity isn’t just an overactive immune system—it’s your body asking for help.

While conventional care often focuses on suppressing symptoms like pain or inflammation, Functional Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) ask a deeper question: Why is this happening?

🌀 Functional Medicine investigates gut health, toxins, chronic stress, and hidden infections.
🌿 TCM sees imbalances like Qi stagnation, heat, dampness, and organ deficiencies (especially Spleen, Liver, and Kidneys).

Real healing happens when we treat the root, not just the branch. That means:
• Moving Qi with acupuncture
• Nourishing with herbal and food therapy
• Supporting digestion, sleep, and emotional balance

When we regulate Qi and clear internal imbalances, we help your immune system find peace again.

You don’t have to just manage flares—let’s support long-term healing from the inside out.

About me

When I was growing up, my mom always told me,"you need to know how to take care of yourself. We, women, are the foundation of our community and family." She was the type doesn't like to take medication. She told me nature has the best medicine and the kitchen is your best medicine cabinet. My grandmother was also an amazing woman. She was my teacher of herbal medicine. I was taught to use herbs from her small garden to take care of my mouth sore, colds, and tummy aches. That little seed of healing with natural herbs was planted since very early in my life. As I grew up, I was set to be a doctor by my parent's request. But I was drawn deeply to the amazing aroma of the herbs and decided to study Chinese medicine. When I started my medical training in Taiwan and Chinese, I was guided by a lot of amazing Chinese Medicine masters that showed me how to follow the natural rhythm to treat illness and live a healthy life. Their principle of following the nature of balance influenced my philosophy of life. Now I want to bring this practice to my patients and help my patients to live healthy, balanced, and focus on the whole person.
