Lots of good tips for this season!

🌸 What proteins do you use for Chinese soups?

From a TCM perspective, it all starts with your health goals and body condition.
Every ingredient, including proteins, have their own unique nature, actions, and contraindications.

Here's a great place to start when deciding what protein to go with. You can also opt for vegetarian options, which I usually do for teas.

The most common proteins in Chinese soups are:
👉 Pork - the most common and abundant protein in China (and even back in the day)
👉 Chicken - also common for that rich, healing soup and often mixed with pork together in Cantonese-styled broths
👉 Fish - the quick boil option that comes in a variety of delicious soups
👉 Beef - not as common, often found with more western-styled Chinese soups and quick boils
👉 Lamb - also not as common, more often found as a stew

💗 Which is your favourite?

Have you found a way to interact with AI that feels connective to yourself and humanity?

I honestly barely know what it can do. It feels strange to be so unaware of something that flagships a modern world and even the future.

This here is a very thoughtful read by Casper ter Kuile with super interesting links. Very focused on our tender humanity, not raging against the machine in any obvious way. Though, it’s still there in subtle ways 🩵

A modern-day promise ring to save yourself from artificial intimacy?!

A neuroscience/pharmacology take on what works for inflammation that is not a GLP1 besides sleep, diet and exercise. After all, it's important for all people to have access to conventional and alternative medicines. And part of access is knowledge that there are options.

BBC published this guide to not* top 10 national parks. I enjoyed this read and I hope you do, too. Katahdin sticks with me, being from Maine and Dry Tortuga once I feel I can go back to FL (having been born in FL ).

There are more than 400 sites in the US National Park System. Here's why it's time to skip the most-visited top 10 and seek out quieter, equally spectacular ground.
