My 2026 theme: reducing inflammation.

Each year, I choose one thing to focus on. This year, it's this—because inflammation touches almost everything:
→ Chronic pain
→ Brain fog
→ Anxiety and mood struggles
→ Hormonal imbalances
→ Fatigue that sleep doesn't fix
→ Digestive issues
→ Skin flares

It's not a trendy buzzword. It's the quiet root of so many health struggles.

The good news? Chinese Medicine has been addressing inflammation for thousands of years. We just called it "clearing heat" and "moving stagnation."

Acupuncture is a powerful part of that support—and so are herbs, food, and nervous system care.

If reducing inflammation is something you've been curious about, I'd love to talk about what that could look like for you.

Can't stop reaching for sugar? That's not a willpower problem.

In Chinese Medicine, intense sugar cravings are signals—not character flaws.

They can point to:
→ Spleen Qi deficiency (weak digestion, low energy)
→ Blood deficiency (your body reaching for quick fuel)
→ Nervous system dysregulation (stress seeking comfort)

What actually helps:
→ Acupuncture to regulate digestion and calm cravings at the root
→ Protein and fat at every meal
→ Warm, cooked foods (especially in winter)
→ Addressing what's underneath: stress, depletion, or poor sleep

You don't need more discipline.
You need to understand what your body is actually asking for.

If cravings have been running the show, I'd love to help you figure out why.

Willpower isn't the problem. Your nervous system is.

Every January, we hear the same advice: try harder. Push through. Be more disciplined.

But here's what's actually happening:
→ Your body is still in holiday stress mode
→ Cortisol is elevated
→ Your nervous system is dysregulated
→ Willpower becomes nearly impossible

You're not lazy. You're not broken. You're depleted.

The fix isn't more motivation—it's nervous system support.

When your body feels safe and regulated, something shifts:
→ Cravings quiet down
→ Sleep deepens
→ Energy steadies
→ Healthy choices start to feel natural

This is why our approach works when white-knuckling doesn't.

If you're tired of forcing it, there's another way.

Your deductible just reset. And that's actually great news.

January 1st means fresh insurance benefits. If you've been putting off care because you'd already maxed out last year… that reason is gone now.

A few things worth knowing:
→ Your deductible resets, but so does your HSA/FSA (for most plans)
→ Starting care now means investing in this year's health
→ We're happy to help you understand your coverage before you book

Think of it less like spending—and more like front-loading your wellness for the year ahead.

If you've been waiting for the right time, this might be it.

A gentle reset for the new year. 🌿

No detoxes. No extremes. No punishing yourself into change.
Just… support.

Here's what a gentle reset can look like:
→ One acupuncture session to calm your nervous system
→ Warm, cooked foods that support your digestion
→ Going to bed 30 minutes earlier
→ Saying no to one thing that drains you
→ Moving in ways that feel good—not grueling

The goal isn't to become a different person by February.

The goal is to feel like yourself again.

Start where you are. We'll meet you there.

Save this for when you need the reminder 📌

Afraid of hitting a hormonal wall? Or already there?
Menopause doesn’t have to feel like free-fall.

Hot flashes. Mood swings. Sleep drama. Brain fog.
Western medicine often offers HRT—or nothing. We offer another path: a thoughtful, evidence-informed, whole-system approach.

At Calm San Diego we support you with:
✔ Herbal protocols to nourish yin, cool internal heat, and steady mood
✔ Acupuncture to regulate sleep, calm the nervous system, and ease hot flashes
✔ Targeted supplementation & nutrition for bone, mood, and metabolic support
✔ Lifestyle tools rooted in East-meets-West wisdom so you feel steady—day and night

This isn’t about slowing down.
It’s about stepping into a powerful, clear, steady next chapter.

📅 Book your Hormone Renewal Consult and let’s design a plan that fits this season of life.

“Should I take adaptogens for my hormones?”
Maybe—but only if you know which ones and when.

Adaptogens are powerful, but they’re not one-size-fits-all.

Here’s what often gets missed:
✔ Some boost yang → energizing, but can tip you into wired + restless
✔ Others nourish yin → grounding, but can feel heavy or sluggish if it’s not what your body needs
✔ Some combinations simply don’t match your constitution or phase of life

At Calm San Diego, we match herbs + adaptogens to you—your hormones, your nervous system, your cycle stage—so they restore balance instead of creating new imbalances.

Cold season is here. Energy is low. Your immune system needs backup.

Here's what we're telling our patients right now:
1. Astragalus (Huang Qi) 🛡️
The immune builder. Take preventatively—before you get sick.
2. Vitamin D3 ☀️
You're probably deficient. Essential for immunity, mood, and energy.
3. Reishi Mushroom 🍄
Calms your nervous system while boosting immunity. Great for stress + sleep.
4. Ginger + Cinnamon Tea 🫚
Warming from the inside. Supports digestion when it's cold.
5. Elderberry 🫐
Keep on hand for first sign of a cold. Can shorten how long you're sick.
6. Probiotics
70% of your immune system is in your gut. Feed it.

⚠️ Supplements support a body that's also resting and eating well. Not magic pills.

More hair in your brush than on your head? Let's talk about it.

In Chinese Medicine, hair loss often comes down to two things:
1. Blood Deficiency 🩸
Your hair needs blood to grow. When you're depleted, your hair shows it first.

Common causes:
→ Years of heavy periods
→ Pregnancy & postpartum
→ Chronic stress
→ Skipping meals or poor digestion

Signs:
→ Dry, brittle hair
→ Fatigue
→ Pale face
→ Light or missing periods

2. Kidney Essence Decline 🔋
Your Kidney system controls hair growth AND color. Around 40, these reserves naturally dip—but stress, overwork, and no rest speed it up.

Signs:
→ Thinning AND graying
→ Feeling older than your age
→ Low back weakness
→ Deep fatigue that sleep doesn't fix

What helps:

For Blood:
→ Bone broth, leafy greens, beets, eggs
→ Blood-building herbs (we can customize)
→ Rest. You can't build blood while burned out.

For Essence:
→ Black sesame, walnuts, seaweed, bone broth
→ Kidney-nourishing herbs
→ Protect your energy. Slow down.

The truth:
Hair loss is a signal, not just a cosmetic problem. Your body is asking for support.
We can help you figure out what's driving it—and what to do.

Love your family. Also need a break from your family during the holidays? Same.

Here's your pocket guide for staying sane this holiday season:

🆘 Holiday Stress SOS
Before the gathering:
→ Eat something. Low blood sugar + family drama = disaster.
→ Set a secret time limit. Give yourself permission to leave.
→ Take 5 deep breaths in the car before you walk in.
→ Pick up a calming herbal formula from our Calm herbalists beforehand. We've got you. 🌿

During:
→ Bathroom breaks are free therapy. Take them.
→ Hold something cold (drink, ice cube). Grounds your nervous system.
→ Find the dog. Pets don't ask about your love life.

Acupressure to the rescue:
→ Heart 7 (inner wrist crease, pinky side) — Press for 1-2 min. Instant calm.
→ Pericardium 6 (3 finger-widths up from wrist, between tendons) — Settles anxiety and nausea.
→ Yin Tang (between your eyebrows) — Quiets the mind. Press and breathe.

When someone says that thing:
→ Remember the Let Them Theory (Mel Robbins): Let them say it. Let them think it. Let them be who they are. It's not yours to control—and you don't have to react.
→ "Hmm, interesting." (Then walk away.)
→ You're not responsible for their opinions. You ARE responsible for your peace.

After:
→ Decompress. Walk, bath, silence, whatever.
→ Don't rehash every conversation in your head.
→ Book your post-holiday acupuncture. Seriously. You'll need it.

Need backup before the big day?
Stop by Calm and pick up herbs to support your nervous system through the holidays. Our herbalists can recommend the right formula for YOU—whether you need calm, energy, sleep, or all of the above.

You've got this. 💚
