My turn on the table. 😅

Tiara Dunson from .health treated me this time!

She zeroed in on my hip. Soft tissue work first, then straight into isometrics in a prone position. The tension? Gone. Like, immediately.

And the way she broke it down was so good: Open the window of opportunity first. Then go deeper. More load. More force. Layer in different exercises to stretch and strengthen. Repeat. Build over time.

THIS is why collaboration hits different. The connection between acupuncture and PT is real, and when you combine both? The body just lights up. Recovery on another level.

Walnuts look like a brain 🧠 — used to support brain vitality.
Modern science: walnuts are packed with unsaturated fats + plant omega-3, and studies show they can improve cholesterol markers.
Try them with black sesame for a perfect winter combo 🖤
Thanks Annie and Jessica from Third Space Roots for this chat, they make amazing TCM inspired snacks.

Winter wellness in Chinese medicine = black foods 🖤

In TCM, winter is linked to Kidney energy, and traditionally black foods are used to nourish and restore—think black sesame + black beans.

✨ Why I love black sesame in winter:
It’s naturally “oily” and moistening, so it can be especially supportive if you feel dry or tend toward constipation.

Bonus: black sesame is also a classic food people use to support hair vitality.

Easy add-on: 1 tbsp black sesame powder in oatmeal, soy milk, or yogurt.

Save this for your winter ritual ❄️🖤

Games can bring you safety + control... it can also turn into depression or aggression🥶

So well said by

This one is for anyone who’s ever been told “you’re spending too much time gaming”

“Gaming is a culture, it has it's own language... terms, rules, jokes, teamwork cues.”

Most parent–kid conflict around games is about language.

TCM… lifestyle or medicine? 🌿
For me it’s both.
In winter: eat warmer, cozier foods, slow down, and take care of your energy.
Even things like cinnamon aren’t only for flavor, it’s a warming herb we use to support vitality.🥣💛

Teaching acupressure in San Francisco is wild.
I taught Zu San Li 足三里 and someone asked:
“If it’s sore… am I dying?”
NO 😂 Soreness is normal.
Try it for 30 seconds and tell me what you feel 👇

How to tell if a white person is burned out 😂

01/25/2026

Didn’t expect our first event to resonate this much. 🥹

Burnout isn’t an individual failure — it’s a system problem.
Sometimes the Bay Area feels like a toxic, sleepless machine, and that can feel so hopeless. And burnout isn’t something a few days off can fix — a 1–3 year recovery window is common.

The scariest part? You might not even realize you’re in it.

But believe me: you always have choices.

What’s the antidote?
Dr Kim put it so well: It all comes down to love. Love for yourself, and building a system rooted in love.

Hope you will find the 💛

Big thank you to all the speakers for your sharing: 💛
