Secrets Your Tongue Is Telling You About Your Health

Your tongue can reveal early signs of internal imbalances — long before symptoms show up elsewhere. Here’s what to look for:

COLOR
• Red – Inflammation, toxins, infections, anxiety, heart issues
• Pale pink – Anemia, low iron, low oxygen
• Purple – Blood stagnation, liver impairment, suppressed anger

CRACKING
• Down the center – Digestion, leaky gut, spleen issues
• Center to tip – Heart vs digestive imbalance
• Horizontal cracks – Kidneys
• Side cracks – Liver, gallbladder, digestive stress

COATING
• White – Lung or colon issues, candida, mold, parasites
• Yellow – Gut, spleen, caffeine overuse
• Black – Deep immune issues, possible cancer
• Coating everywhere except back – Kidney-related

MOISTURE
• Dry – Dehydration, low minerals, medications
• Overly moist – Fluid stagnation, lymph/liver congestion

TOOTHMARKS / SCALLOPING
• Blood sugar imbalance, inflammatory food intake, kidney or thyroid dysfunction

Your body leaves clues. Pay attention to what your tongue is telling you.

We are proud to work with Urban Street Angels, a San Diego-based nonprofit dedicated to transforming the lives of homeless youth.

These treatments are intended to support mental and physical well-being, reduce stress, and promote healing—complementing the holistic care already offered.

What is true power?
💫True power begins when you realize this:

You are your own healer.
Your body holds wisdom.
Your heart holds truth.
You lead yourself with compassion, peace, and presence.

Every step you take toward inner freedom and self-awareness is power in motion.

True power doesn’t control ~ it heals, uplifts, and radiates love.

🌿 At Source, we’re here to support your journey and remind you the healer is you. 🌿

Feeling off means your body is asking for alignment.

Discomfort is often the doorway to deep transformation.

Investing in your well-being is the greatest form of self-respect.
⠀
Growth may feel like weakness at first.
Healing may stir emotions you’ve buried.
But every action you take brings you one step closer to the home within yourself.

✨You are already whole as you are✨

✨ Meet Dr. Laura Weatherbee, DACM — our newest acupuncturist at Source! ✨

Laura is inspired by the ancient wisdom of classical Chinese philosophy, especially the I Ching—the Book of Changes—which teaches that life is a continuous process of change shaped by the dynamic interplay of yin and yang. She believes each of us has a unique destiny to fulfill, and that illness or pain can serve as signposts guiding us back to balance and purpose.

Raised by two biotechnologists, Laura grew up immersed in the world of science. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Engineering from Cornell University before following a deeper calling to study Chinese medicine. She completed her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine at Pacific College of Health and Science.

Proud of her Chinese heritage—her mother is from Hong Kong—Laura embodies an East-meets-West approach. She believes deeply in integrated medicine, combining the best of ancient practices and modern tools. She especially loves sharing Qi Gong, a gentle, powerful movement practice that helps people to reconnect with body, breath, and deeper purpose.

We’re honored to welcome her to our community 💛

Call/text us at (619) 761-9544 to book with her!

New research reveals that listening to Mozart’s Sonata K.448 can double levels of beneficial gut bacteria and strengthen gut barrier function — key factors in supporting digestion, immunity, and brain health.

Key findings include:
✅ Increased Lactobacillus (good gut bacteria)
✅ Reduced harmful microbes
✅ Improved gut lining integrity
✅ Lower inflammation
✅ Potential cognitive and immune benefits

Compared to silence, this composition promotes a more balanced and diverse microbiome — highlighting the powerful link between sound and health.

🎧 Try 20 minutes of Mozart’s Sonata K.448 daily. Music is medicine.

Gallstones can silently block digestion, detox, and hormone balance.

Do You Have Gallstones?

Mild signs to watch for:
• Right rib pain after fatty meals

✨ Prep:
– 2 weeks prior: Liver detox tea
– 1 month prior: Parasite cleanse

✨ Cleanse Day (48 hrs):
– Light breakfast → Fast after 12pm
– 6pm & 8pm: 15 Epsom salt capsules

✨ Next Morning:
– 6am & 8am: More Epsom salt capsules
