If you are currently taking a GLP 1 and noticing acid reflux, stomach discomfort, or pelvic pain, look into cooling, mucilaginous herbs like slippery elm bark or marshmallow root. These herbs help to cool and protect the esophagus and stomach.

Ratio: 1 tablespoon of dried herb to 1 cup of cool water. Let steep for 4 to 6 hours in the frig and drink daily. Can increase to 4 cups of cold tea daily if needed.

What the tongue can teach us about safety.

This before-and-after isn’t about fixing the tongue. It shows what happens when the nervous system starts to feel safe.

The center of the tongue, which represents the stomach, is often called the safety center. When the body has been under chronic stress, under-fed, or under-rested, this area can show fissures, dryness, and a matte surface — signs the body is in survival mode. That was the before.

What changed? Nothing extreme. No detox. No overhaul. Just consistent signals of safety.

What helped:
• Protein first thing in the morning (steady blood sugar = safety)
• Healthy fats (comfort + cellular support)
• Earlier sleep
• Avoiding cold drinks and food
• Predictable routines
• Gentle herbal and nutritional support (omega-3s + demulcent herbs like marshmallow, slippery elm, and oat)

The result:
• Better moisture retention
• Softer fissures
• More even color
• More resilient tissue

This is what regulation looks like — not perfection, not overnight change, but a body that feels safe enough to repair. Healing doesn’t start with doing more. It starts with feeling fed, warm, supported, and predictable.

🌿Stay tuned for our upcoming group health clinic on nervous system regulation.
