You don’t have time for the runs.
You’re leading meetings, hitting deadlines, and keeping everything moving—except your digestion.

Loose stools, bloating, brain fog, cold hands… these aren’t random.
They’re signs your body’s running cold and your gut’s out of rhythm.

In East Asian Medicine, we call this Cold-Damp digestion.
It slows metabolism, drains focus, and keeps you operating at half capacity.

The fix isn’t another probiotic or “cleanse.”
It’s warmth. Real, gentle warmth.

Start with this: Ginger Congee.
Simple, grounding, and proven over centuries to restore digestive strength.

Save this post for the next time your stomach feels off.
And DM “DIGEST” if you want a personalized gut-reset plan.

“This case exemplifies the precision and power of Traditional East Asian Medicine in treating complex chronic conditions like IBS-D.

"The patient had tried multiple biomedical and alternative approaches without relief. But once we identified his pattern through a TEAM lens, the results were swift and complete and his symptoms fully resolved within two weeks.”
— Erica Yang, MTOM, LAc

Acupuncture beats meds for IBS and it does it by rewiring the brain, providing *lasting* relief.

You did not cause your chronic illness, but you *can* choose how to respond.

You are not powerless. When you begin to heal, you aren't just healing yourself, you are healing the world, too.

From 3 years of IBS-D flare-ups, inflammation, fatigue, and brain fog...

➡️ To full remission, in just 2 weeks.

The approach?

How?

✅ Deep diagnostic mapping (immune, gut, neuro)
✅ A centuries-old herbal formula for the brain–gut axis
✅ Modified precisely to match the patient’s presentation

📅 1 month post-treatment: still symptom-free.
🧠 No more urgency. No more food fear. No more fog.

This case was published in a peer-reviewed clinical journal:
Yang, E., Park, J., & Ross, T. (2025).
Herbal Modulation of the Gut–Brain Axis in IBS-D.
Convergent Points: An East–West Case Report Journal, 4(2).

Your gut is your first investment. You can’t outwork inflammation or outwork brain fog. Start by lighting up your digestive fire and performance at your best.
