Your body already makes GLP-1. The question is: are your habits turning it on… or blocking it?

GLP-1 helps regulate appetite, blood sugar, and satiety—and it’s not only influenced by medication. What you eat, how you move, how you sleep, and how stressed you are all matter.

Support your own GLP-1 with:
☯ Protein at every meal
☯ Soluble fiber (oats, beans, veggies)
☯ Healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, salmon)
☯ Fermented foods to support the gut

Layer in regular movement, stress reduction, and solid sleep—and the signal improves.

☯ I break this down more deeply in my article below. Food and lifestyle are powerful tools when used intentionally.

Winter—especially after the holidays—might feel like the perfect time to detox. But in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), winter is not detox season.

☯ Winter is governed by the Kidneys, which are responsible for deep energy reserves and immunity. Aggressive detoxes and cleanses during this time can be too draining and may actually increase susceptibility to colds and flu when your body needs strengthening—not depletion.

Instead, winter is a time to rest and gently reset. That doesn’t mean doing nothing—it means cleaning up excess alcohol, sugar, salt, and heavy fats from holiday habits and focusing on warm, cooked, nourishing foods that support digestion and immune health. Think soups, stews, roasted vegetables, and quality proteins.

☯ Spring is the proper detox season in TCM, when circulation and Liver energy naturally rise and the body is ready to release.

For now: warm, nourish, cleanse and support. Detox later.

Ready to reset your health — without overwhelm?

The New Year isn’t about doing all the things at once — it’s about thoughtful care, steady progress, and intentional choices that support your body all year long.

In our newest blog, Dr. Donna breaks down a Thoughtful Health Reset for 2026 — a smarter way to:
☯ revisit labs with context
☯ support hormones & the nervous system
☯ nurture digestion
☯ re-assess habits with compassion
☯ focus deeply on one meaningful health area instead of trying to fix everything at once

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all resolution — it’s a reset with depth, curiosity, and kindness.

✨ New blog: Bridging Personalized Nutrition & Constitutional Medicine ✨

We often hear about “personalized nutrition” — but what does that actually mean? In our latest article, Dr. Donna explores how modern nutrition science (think: blood sugar, hormones, genetics) can be powerfully paired with constitutional medicine — a wisdom-based system that looks at how your body is naturally wired (cold or warm, damp or dry, fast or sluggish).

➡️ When you combine data + energetics, you get a nutrition plan that’s not just “healthy” — it’s uniquely yours.

☯ Better blood sugar balance,
☯ Reduced inflammation,
☯ Hormonal support,
☯ And long-term vitality.

Now that Halloween has passed, the season of sweets, gatherings, and celebration is in full swing. Between Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s, it’s easy for our blood sugar, digestion, and energy to lose balance — leaving us tired, bloated, and saying once again, “Next year will be different.”

But what if this year truly could be different?

Rather than waiting for January to reset, we can begin now — by gently supporting the body’s natural rhythm, balancing blood sugar, and keeping our energy steady through the holidays.

In this month’s article, Dr. Donna shares practical, realistic ways to stay grounded and well through the season:
* simple strategies to balance blood sugar and prevent energy crashes
* mindful eating and gentle post-meal movement
* soothing digestive teas to reduce bloat and support Spleen Qi
* mindful ways to enjoy alcohol without fatigue or disruption to hormones

Let’s move into the new year not in recovery mode, but already feeling nourished, clear, and strong.

Over the past weeks, I’ve shared the 5 foundations of resilience:
1. Awareness + Stress Reset
2. Food as Medicine
3. Movement & Mind-Body Practices
4. Sleep + Herbal/TCM Support
5. Connection & Community

Each one is powerful on its own. Together, they create a strong foundation for mental health, helping you move from stress → strength.

☯ Remember: resilience isn’t built overnight. It’s grown in the daily choices you make for yourself, with compassion, not perfection.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, I invite you to choose one or two practices that resonate—and begin. Your body and mind are ready for balance, healing, and renewal.

Post 5: Connection + Community

Resilience isn’t built in isolation. Our nervous systems are wired for connection—when we feel supported, we handle stress more gracefully.

Sometimes resilience is as simple as:

☯ Sharing a meal with someone you love
☯ Calling a friend instead of scrolling
☯ Offering kindness to a stranger
☯ Spending time in community

These small acts nourish the heart and remind us: we are not alone.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s choose connection as medicine.

Post 4: Sleep + Herbal/TCM Support

Sleep is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. It’s where your mind and body do their deepest repair work. Without it, stress lingers, moods swing, and healing slows.

A few of my favorite sleep supports:
☯ A gentle wind-down ritual (dim lights, warm tea, no screens)
☯ Herbs like chamomile, lemon balm, or adaptogens to calm the nervous system
☯ Acupuncture to restore balance of Qi and Yin, promoting deeper rest

When we honor sleep, we give our nervous system the chance to reset. Prevention begins at bedtime.

Post 3: Movement + Mind-Body Practices

Movement is one of the most underused tools we have for mental health. Stress gets stored in the body—movement helps us release it.

It doesn’t have to be intense. A gentle walk, yoga flow, or 10 minutes of qi gong can shift your mood and reset your nervous system. Pairing movement with breathwork or meditation amplifies the effect—helping the mind and body reconnect.

☯ Today, ask yourself: how can I move my body in a way that feels good—not punishing, but nourishing?

Resilience often begins with the simple act of moving energy through.

Post 2: Food as Medicine for Mental Health

When it comes to mental health, food truly is medicine. What we eat influences our brain chemistry, inflammation, and resilience to stress.

Processed foods and sugar spikes often fuel mood swings and anxiety, while nourishing foods give your brain the building blocks for balance.

My favorite mood-supporting foods:
☯ Omega-3 rich: salmon, flax, walnuts
☯ B-vitamin packed: leafy greens, whole grains, legumes
☯ Magnesium-rich: pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate, spinach
☯ Fermented foods: kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir for gut-brain health

Start small—add one of these daily. Your brain and body will thank you.

Post 1: Stress to Strength

October is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to pause and look at how stress shows up in our lives. Stress doesn’t just weigh on the mind; it impacts hormones, immunity, digestion, and energy.

But here’s what I want you to remember: resilience can be cultivated. It’s not something you either have or don’t—it’s built, moment by moment, choice by choice.

This month, I’ll be sharing 5 key foundations I use in my practice to help patients move from stress → strength.

☯ Start today with a simple step: notice how stress feels in your body—your breath, your sleep, your mood. Awareness is the doorway to resilience.

Ultra-processed foods do more than add calories—they disrupt the very foundation of your body’s health: your genes.

🧬Don’t break the Chain (genomic chain)!

Research now shows that these foods trigger inflammation, oxidative stress, and genomic instability—damaging the communication between cells and accelerating aging at a molecular level. Over time, this instability affects brain health, hormone balance, and even mood regulation.

Your brain and genes thrive on nourishment, not chemicals or artificial additives.

Choosing colorful, whole, minimally processed foods supports not just your gut—but your genetic expression, helping your body repair and your mind stay resilient.

True wellness begins at the cellular level. What you eat today shapes how your body—and your brain—function tomorrow.
