Get excited about your first acupuncture treatment!!! Oh krrrr

This is a health experience to meet the medical needs of chronic and acute symptoms, pain, infertility and illness. These methods lengthen life, prolong organ, musculoskeletal health and draw from deeper wellsprings of the body’s energy and not just a pill or surgery.

Also did I mention it enhances all aspects of mood and well being for a fully hormonal (and spiritual?) inner reboot? One you don’t need to work for to achieve- it is given.

In treatments, I can explain my strategies and why I’m doing things in a helpful and reassuring way. We stick to the main objectives and no procedure or poke is without your OK.

The other cool thing is we do different treatments every time! Certain points are honed but each treatment is a new experience and a new way to get into the body, understand, and heal.

Credit to for making these when her sis was so excited. 😆

Super stoked to treat you!

I love receiving testimonials like this - will not be the first nor the last like this very thing for folks.

Often my practice comprises two to three specialties for people. One session of acupuncture does double what it costs in time and energy visiting other specialists for the same chronic problem or issue. This is a health and wellness hack you can find at this practice.

Turns out there is an easier way. Less is more. Which means more time saved for the patient, exponential results, and faster recovery- and the best part is it’s completely natural.

My passion is to empower people to understand how to transform their health concerns with less pain, effort and time so they can live into their highest potential.

Good to keep in mind!

The best salt & electrolytes = Redmond Re-Lyte Hydration https://glnk.io/oq72y/drjamesdinic6. Code DRJAMES = 15% off.

Only drinking plain water is NOT the best way to hydrate.

Our body needs electrolytes to hydrate appropriately so that fluid stays in the body and isn’t just peed out in the urine.

I start my day out with 1 scoop of Relyte Hydration with 10-12 oz. of fluid mixed in a blender.

Before or after intense work outs (depending how I’m feeling) I hydrate with Relyte Hydration using 1-2 scoops in 10-24 oz. of water, respectively.

My favorite Re-Lyte flavors are lemon lime, strawberry lemonade, mango, pina colada and mixed berry.

The best salt = Redmond real salt https://glnk.io/oq72y/drjamesdinic3 as it’s unrefined and contains 60+ minerals. I use this salt on my food. Code DRJAMES = 15% off

Stress! It affects our blood sugar metabolism, and with a dropping blood sugar is a dropping mood.

Emotionally becoming dynamic & resilient with our goals is something we can control!

Tips:

1. Have a hearty savory breakfast on packed or stressful days. If savory is too much to stomach, some vegetable-heavy smoothies for lots of fiber with a serving of Shaklee protein powder for blood sugar balance. Dry, warm grains with berries/fruit as a base to fuel the brain. (The brain needs grains!)
2. Plan to have a mid-morning and/or mid-afternoon snack
3. Notice how caffeine affects our mood, blood sugar and/or how much sleep we have had before we judge ourselves around stress.

I love Glucose Goddess’ work with her blood sugar meter because it so clearly delineates how much stress can burn up our capacities to regulate and perform.

It’s important to take stock of how we feel!

As women we can take it on as our problem when really it’s a reaction from our wonderfully complex, supportive and life-giving hormonal body. We are blood-bound and need more calories especially around our cycle. Cortisol levels shift depending where we are on our cycle as well, and is super important to track in perimenopause and menopause.

Some food for thought! 🧡🩵🩷

Happy New Year of the Dragon!!! 🐉🐉🐉

Clutter clearing was actually the first sign to me that I was healing long standing things ❤️‍🩹. At the time I had terrible migraines, multiple in a week. It was destroying my productivity and frustrating my will. Since my first treatment 14 years ago (which was the treatment I decided I would become an acupuncturist actually!), I have learned that deep cleaning, tidying, and clutter clearing as a ritual, is a way to alchemically bring more prosperity.

As I have practiced this, I realize now that prosperity is something felt in all directions of life, not just through the symbol/number of 💲 💸💵💶💷💴💳. It is a mindset and a lifestyle made up of mostly this kind of thing here ☝️ moving chi and releasing things. After all, Liver plays a large part in our ability to take a real good poop.💩

What is, Earth/soil/dust/skin, earth as substance, Heart ❤️ Blood 🩸 Small Intestine substance as we sort and decide (Gall Bladder). Is the ‘is-ness’ (business?) life becoming One with the actual 24/7 alchemistry of the One life we already have? The “Is this my life”-ness of my life?

Is everything we have everything we need? Can we transform ourselves to grow and create prosperity? My answer is yes.

A very very 🎆🎇Happy Lunar New Year 🧧 to you 🧨 🧨 🧨

May you enjoy the most and do a little cleaning dance today for Heaven’s Favor. May you have Prosperity over this life! 🫣💵🧧🐉🤩🥳

And don’t do anything on New Year’s Day… this day of Rest (no laundry, no cleaning of any kind) is auspicious to gather Qi and accumulate (Xi) the New Year Chi of Dragon 🐉 !!!

This gave me some peace reading it with all of the world events recently.

Many women in my practice have expressed feeling extra stressed with the world’s events like they are waiting for the other shoe to drop. It can feel helpless and scary, a harbinger of more bad to come.

This is when we use our inner boy to move our desires to not feel so hopeless into action mode in our own little corners of the world.

Helping a coworker or a friend, going the extra mile for a client, giving parents and loved ones extra hugs and kisses, and using what fear is there to mobilize love and create positive domino effects with all living things.

Volunteering at an animal shelter, helping a blind woman go shopping, planting trees or helping a neighbor with their garden, paying for someone behind you in line… what positive things can you do today to feel more of that positive energy spreading throughout the world?

It’s the butterfly effect which does ripple throughout all beings and living things.

We are changing the world by breathing here with our beating hearts. Just imagine what we can do with a little love, a heartfelt intention, and that mere impact on our communities.

Here for you in your corner. If you need help with stress relief, sleep issues, panic or anxiety, migraines and pain, click the link in my bio and get on my table for some acupuncture!

🩵Be Kind To Your Mind🩵
1. Learn to always trust your instincts
2. Never speak badly about yourself
3. Don’t be afraid to say ‘no’- healthy boundaries make mind gymnastics easier!
4. Move the body regularly- take breaks like getting fresh air, a walk, stretch, lift - matter over mind!
5. Get plenty of rest & meditate in the AM - ground yourself
6. Eat a hearty breakfast with carbs (cooked grains, hot porridge, cooked squashes) for glucose, the brain’s food. And eat regularly!

Hot tip: get acupuncture. Acupuncture helps reduce pain, increases sensory awareness, and calms the mind, bringing blood flow away from the brain stem and amygdala to the pre-frontal cortex. Find peace and calm in our sessions to grow confidence, ease, and bodily integration with the mind.

If you have trouble slowing the thoughts and the mind, acupuncture is the best thing!
