Let’s talk about real Chinese herbal medicine — not powders, not tinctures… the real deal.
This is the same form of herbs I prescribe to my patients, made in a facility in New York that decocts everything in a massive pressure cooker to extract every active compound.
The result?
Up to 30% more potent and clinically powerful.

And yes… it tastes absolutely horrible.
And yes… it works. 😂🌿

This is lineage medicine.
This is how we treat complex, chronic conditions from the root.
Not always glamorous, but deeply effective — the kind of medicine you feel working.

If you’re curious about what a real, personalized herbal formula could do for your digestion, skin, or lungs… my door is open.

“Constipation.”
Let’s just say it — because so many people deal with it, and it doesn’t need to be your normal. 💩

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, fall is the season of the Lung + Large Intestine — the organs responsible for letting go, releasing waste, and keeping everything moving smoothly.
So yes… bowel health is seasonal health. 🍂

Constipation can come from many different root-pattern causes, which is why an individualized approach matters. There is always a reason the body slows down — and it’s rarely as simple as “just eat more fiber.”

Here are a few gentle supports that help with everyday sluggish bowels:

🌿 Fiber that actually works — aim for 30 fruits & veggies/week
💧 Hydration — coconut water for natural electrolytes
⚡ Magnesium options:
• Magnesium citrate — more laxative
• Magnesium bisglycinate — gentler, helps relax
• Oxygenated magnesium / MgO₃ — my travel MVP

But if your constipation is chronic or keeps coming back, that’s a sign your root pattern needs proper diagnosis and treatment. That’s where Chinese medicine truly shines.

Your digestive system deserves to move — comfortably, regularly, and without struggle. 🤍

Huang Lian Jie Du Tang — one of the strongest “clear the fire” formulas in Chinese medicine.
AKA: The Three Yellow Brothers + Zhi Zi.

This isn’t a casual tea blend.
It’s a clinical formula used to clear heat + toxicity from all three burners — upper, middle, and lower — especially when damp-heat is involved.

Think inflammation, redness, swelling, irritability, skin eruptions, or digestive fire storms (yes, this includes IBD).
When used correctly, it’s powerful.
When used incorrectly… absolutely not.

✨ Do NOT try this at home.
You need a trained practitioner to determine:
– if you’re actually dealing with damp-heat
– if this formula is appropriate
– how it should be modified for your body

Every constitution is different — and formulas like this must be individualized to be safe and effective.

Another clip from Episode 1 of Chinese Medicine in the Modern World — and this one gets into the heart of why I’m so passionate about gut health.

When it comes to conditions like IBS, IBD, Crohn’s, and ulcerative colitis, the treatment options most people are offered are often intense, lifelong, and focused on symptom control.
But in Chinese medicine, we look at the pattern, the root, and the terrain — and when you change the internal environment, the disease process can change too.

There is another way.
There is a path that considers digestion, inflammation, immunity, stress, and your constitution as one interconnected system.
And for so many people, it offers hope they didn’t know existed.

If you haven’t listened yet, Episode 1 is now live on Spotify and Apple Podcasts — I poured everything into this one.

I’m so excited to finally share this with you! The first episode of my new podcast, Chinese Medicine in the Modern World. 🤍

This episode dives deep into IBS, IBD, and ulcerative colitis… what’s actually happening in the gut, why so many people struggle with these conditions, and how Chinese medicine understands (and treats) the root causes with precision.

I poured a lot of love, study, experience, and heart into this conversation. It means a lot to be able to give you longer-form content, space where I can really explain the “why” behind these conditions and what’s possible when you treat the whole terrain, not just the symptoms.

I’m incredibly proud of this episode, and it’s only the beginning! so many powerful conversations are coming your way. ✨

I’ve spent the last 20+ years living and breathing this medicine — studying, training, questioning, refining, and learning from some of the best practitioners across Europe and North America.

I hold a Doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine, post-doctoral training in dermatology, and master-level education in autoimmune disease. My work is rooted in lineage medicine, clinical experience, and a deep respect for the complexity of the human body.

My passion has always been to bring this medicine to the West with integrity — to show what it can do when practiced properly, and to help people find practitioners who truly know what they’re doing. Chronic inflammatory skin and immune conditions require precision, curiosity, and someone who sees the whole terrain… not just the symptoms.

This is the heart behind my practice. This is why I do what I do. And I’m honored every day to walk this path with my patients and this community. 🤍

Ever shared a drink you definitely shouldn’t have?
Let’s just say that’s how I first learned how real Epstein–Barr virus can be… and how powerful Chinese medicine is at treating it.

Most people carry EBV in their system for life. It can sit quietly for years until stress, travel, burnout, or another infection wakes it up — and suddenly you’re exhausted, inflamed, and not recovering the way you should.

This is where Chinese medicine shines.
We don’t just suppress symptoms — we work to lower the viral load, support the immune system, and clear the lingering pathogens that keep people stuck.

If you’ve ever had mono, or you’re dealing with chronic fatigue, mystery symptoms, or that “I never bounced back” feeling… your viral load matters.

You don’t have to guess your way through it.

Day 8 of this cleanse… and let me tell you — it’s been a lot.
Hard? Yes.
Worth it? Absolutely.

My body is shifting in ways I can feel. My energy is steadier, my digestion is calmer, and that deep internal “congestion” is clearing. When you give your system a real break, it responds fast — faster than most people expect.

This isn’t about perfection or punishment. It’s about maintenance. Support. Letting the body catch up so it can actually heal.

I genuinely think every human would benefit from doing something like this at least once a year — if not twice. We’re carrying more viral load, more environmental stressors, and more inflammation than ever before. Your body deserves the reset.

If you want to understand why this works, or how to tailor something like this for your own health story, you can always book a consult through the link in my bio. 💛

Even though I’m plant-based and love a big bowl of fruits and veggies… sometimes that’s not what your body needs.

If you’re dealing with IBS, Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, or IBD, all that beautiful fiber can actually feel like too much. When the gut is inflamed, irritated, or overactive, you need something gentle, soothing, and easy to digest — not a mountain of roughage.

This is where congee comes in.
Soft, warm, simple, grounding.
It’s one of the oldest digestive remedies in Chinese medicine — and an essential part of dietary therapy for these specific conditions.

Congee gives your system a break so it can calm inflammation, rebuild, and actually absorb nutrients again. It’s medicine disguised as comfort food. 🌾✨

If you want real, root-cause support for your digestion, my Super Gut Health Program is now open.

I finally got to sit down and really nerd out about the gut. 💚

I recorded a full-length podcast episode all about IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Crohn’s + Colitis) … what they are, how they differ, and why so many people are struggling without real answers.

We dug into:
• why symptoms like bloating, urgency, pain, and fatigue are not “just in your head”
• how the gut, immune system, and nervous system are all connected
• the key differences between IBS and IBD (Crohn’s + Colitis)
• and how this medicine approaches real, root-cause healing

This episode pairs perfectly with my new Super Gut Health Program, and I cannot wait for you to hear it!

It’ll be live soon on Spotify + Apple Podcasts (YouTube to follow).
Huge thank you to my podcast wizard for helping bring this to life.

Part 2 of my 9-day fruits-and-veggies reset. 🌿✨

Lexi and I took you through our Whole Foods haul, everything we’re using to give the liver a break, calm systemic inflammation, and support the body’s ability to clear lingering viral + microbial load.

This protocol is simple, clean, and deeply nourishing. When you take the “noise” out of the system, the body can finally shift into healing mode, and you feel the difference.

If you’re curious about the testing that guided all of this, or want to explore your own root-cause picture, the link is in my bio. 💛

👉 Watch Part 1 first if you haven’t already.

After a busy year (and let’s be honest… more ice cream and cheese toast than I’d like to admit 🍦🍞), I’m giving my body a little break.

My recent testing showed some lingering viral and microbial activity, things like EBV and strep that tend to settle deep in the body and quietly contribute to fatigue + inflammation. Instead of suppressing them, I’m supporting my natural detox pathways so my body can do what it’s built to do: heal.

For the next 9 days, it’s only fruits and vegetables. No salt, oil, grains, dairy, eggs, or animal products, just fresh, living foods to lighten the load on my liver and let my system reset. 🥭🥒🥬

We’re constantly exposed to things our ancestors never were… travel, environmental toxins, stress, infections, and our bodies deserve maintenance. This isn’t a crash cleanse; it’s nourishment, restoration, and recalibration.

Here’s to giving the body what it actually recognizes as medicine.

👉 Part 2 is up next — don’t miss it!
