Modern wellness isn’t always healthy — from a TCM perspective 👀

❌ Juice fasts & extreme detoxes
→ weaken digestion, cause fatigue & bloating

❌ Ice baths & cold plunges
→ drain energy, disrupt hormones, worsen pain

❌ Raw vegan 24/7
→ too cold for digestion → weakness & imbalance

❌ Skipping meals & hard fasting
→ weakens Qi (breakfast = key in TCM)

❌ Too many supplements
→ overloads the Liver, creates imbalance

❌ Overtraining when tired
→ burns Qi & Yin → injuries, insomnia

❌ Cold drinks & smoothie culture
→ kills digestive fire

❌ Coffee + stimulants = “biohacking”
→ short-term energy, long-term burnout

❌ Extreme keto / zero carbs
→ weak Spleen, mood & hormone issues

❌ Late nights
→ Liver can’t restore → PMS, skin, irritability

TCM truth:
Healing isn’t extreme.
It’s warm, rhythmic, balanced, and personalized.

✨ Support your Qi — don’t punish it.
