Birthdays remind me that nourishment begins long before the first bite.

Dinner at .la felt like a meditation in balance — stone and foliage, warmth and restraint, fire and time. Every detail grounding, sensory, alive.

Here’s to another year of living artfully — where wellness begins with presence. 🌿

When we bottle up emotions, the body remembers.

Cupping shows what words can’t.
These dark marks aren’t bruises — they’re the visible expression of blood stagnation: when circulation slows, and emotional tension leaves its imprint on the blood itself.

In Chinese Medicine, unprocessed emotions — especially anger, worry, and grief — can constrict the flow of Qi and blood. Over time, that stagnation builds pressure beneath the surface until the body finally finds a way to release it.

This patient carries a lot — work, family, constant responsibility. Today, he came not to push through pain, but to exhale.

The body doesn’t lie.

It speaks through color, texture, tension, and release.

When the blood moves, emotions move too.

✨ Save this as a reminder that healing isn’t always gentle — but it’s always sacred.

Starting the day with a warm, protein-focused breakfast: a sprouted, organic sourdough buckwheat English muffin with Boursin cheese, two pasture-raised eggs, organic whole milk cottage cheese, organic avocado, and a few pieces of organic cauliflower.

Total protein: about 31.5 grams per meal.

In Chinese medicine, it’s said: “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper.”

Breakfast is when your digestive system is strongest, ready to absorb nourishment and support your energy for the whole day.

Eating a warm breakfast is especially important, because warmth supports digestive fire and helps your body process nutrients smoothly.

Why I make protein the priority in the morning:

- Keeps blood sugar steady and prevents energy crashes
- Supports hormone balance and overall metabolism
- Provides the building blocks for muscle repair and recovery
- Fuels brain function, focus, and mood

I also make sure to include healthy fats from avocado, fiber and antioxidants, plus extra benefits from colorful veggies like cauliflower and tomato—packed with nutrients like sulforaphane, polyphenols, and lycopene.
