Spring is the season of the Liver in Chinese Medicine. In addition to being the body’s filter, the Liver has some other functions in Chinese Medicine.

In this system, the emotions associated with the Liver are compassion and anger. Which would you prefer?

When you feel compassion - for yourself, for others, for all human suffering, your liver is functioning well at an emotional level. When in doubt, reach for compassion, for yourself first and foremost, because from that, everything else flows. AKA Loving kindness. All day. Every Day. Because love is the most powerful medicine of ALL.

Do you need to cultivate some self compassion? It’s literally a thing we can help you with... along with anxiety, self-aggression, self-doubt, and feeling unsettled and ungrounded.

How? We help to support your Liver in finding compassion and groundedness. It sounds crazy, but it works. I know because it’s worked for me.

PM or text (267) 753-9888‬ to set up a free 15 minute consultation to learn more about how Chinese Medicine can help you feel better emotionally. Because we aren’t just bodies, and we aren’t just minds–it’s a whole big interconnected system.

When your body feels better, your emotional life feels better. When your emotions feel more balanced, your body feels better. It’s all connected.

Virtual free 15 minute consultations available Monday-Saturday, with morning and evening appointments available.

How do you care for your microbiome?

Gut Microbiome and Depression

Cortisol release during acute stress is a natural biological response to the presence of stressors whereas chronic stress is a maladaptive process characterized by a dysfunctional HPA axis.

Acute stress has a limited effect on the gut microbiota however chronic stress may cause a clinically meaningful imbalance in the microbial community.

➡️ With increased levels of cortisol, there is an increase in the permeability of the gut wall (leaky gut), which then facilitates a systemic inflammatory response.

➡️ A leaky gut drives a pro inflammatory state as evidenced by increased levels of circulating TNF-alpha, interferon gamma and interleukin 6 (inflammatory biomarkers).

➡️ Interleukin 6 is known to activate the HPA axis and over time it also down-regulates glucocorticoid receptors. These receptors are a feedback mechanism that suppresses the HPA axis, however, their down regulation results in a hyperactive and overly sensitive HPA axis.

➡️ Evidence also suggests that these changes cause a reduction in hippocampal serotonin as well as a reduction in BDNF expression, all of which increase the susceptibility to depression.

Cultivating Wellness in 2020
with Dr Debra Gorman, LAc, DAOM

New Year’s Special:
$50 off a new patient assessment.

Let’s take the time to review your health story and look at all of the clues that can help you make better choices for your best health. I specialize in Functional Blood Lab Analysis and can identify things your doctor can’t.

• When you “eat right” but still feel like crap.
• When your doctor says, “everything is normal” and yet, you KNOW something is wrong.
• When you’ve spent $$$ on complicated treatment plans but didn’t feel much better.

Integrating Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine and Functional Medicine addresses foundational imbalances and reveals where your body isn’t working as well as it could.

I'm happy to announce that I've accepted my dream job. I'll be working very part time as a health coach for one of my beloved teachers, side by side, evaluating labs and creating treatment plans. I will be supporting his new clients in their 6 month Renewed Health, Renewed You programs. If you know someone who has complex chronic disease and just hasn't been getting better, despite the time, energy and money invested, please reach out. I'll put you in touch with him for a consult to see if you, or your loved one, might be a fit for the program.

Acupuncture is found to be as effective as opioids. Openings for new patients are available after the first of the year.

Tennessee’s largest health insurance provider realized it was not part of the solution. It was part of the problem.
