When I see no detectable Akkermansia muciniphila on a GI-MAP, my first thought is always — what’s happening with this person’s gut lining? 🧐 Do they have 🦠 parasites 🪱?

This incredible microbe thrives on the mucin layer that protects your intestinal wall. When it’s thriving, inflammation stays low, blood sugar is steady, and hormones stay in balance.

Low Akkermansia can be linked to:
⚖️ Low estrogen
🍫 Low polyphenol intake (think cacao, berries, pomegranate, green tea)
💚 Gallbladder or bile flow issues
😩 Chronic stress + poor sleep
🦠 Bad bug overgrowth
To rebuild it naturally:
→ Add daily polyphenol-rich foods
→ Include prebiotic fibres (onion, garlic, artichoke, asparagus)
→ Support bile flow + rest your nervous system

Curious what your gut lining looks like on paper?
📊 I use the GI-MAP Comprehensive Stool Test to see what’s really happening beneath the surface.

🌞 As the sun rises, so does your body’s rhythm.
Morning light tells your brain, “It’s time to wake.” Cortisol rises naturally, thyroid hormones begin to convert, metabolism stirs, and your energy for the day ignites. This gentle signal from the sun regulates your entire endocrine system — balancing estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid function while setting the tone for calm, focused energy.

In Chinese Medicine, sunrise is the hour of the Large Intestine (5–7 a.m.) — the time for letting go of what the body no longer needs, both physically and emotionally. Stepping outside into the light supports this natural detox cycle: the breath deepens, Qi begins to move, and the bowels follow nature’s cue to release.

✨ When you rise with the light, you align your hormones, digestion, and spirit with the same rhythm that moves the ocean tides.

🌸✨ Flower Power Tea for Perimenopause ✨🌸

Today I’m brewing a simple but powerful blend:
🌹 Chinese Rose (Mei Gui Hua) – in TCM, it moves Liver Qi, lifts the mood, and eases emotional tension. Perfect for those perimenopause ups and downs.
🌼 Chrysanthemum (Ju Hua) – clears heat, calms the eyes, and soothes inflammation. Think hot flashes, headaches, and irritability finding a little relief.
🍃 Green Tea – cooling and antioxidant-rich. In TCM, it clears heat and dampness; in modern science, its polyphenols support metabolism, hormone regulation, and healthy aging.

✨ Together, these flowers and leaves create harmony:
   •   Balances hormones naturally
   •   Reduces hot flashes & irritability
   •   Supports mood and emotional resilience
   •   Nourishes yin while refreshing the spirit

This is Flower Power 🌸 — a daily ritual that bridges ancient wisdom and modern science for women navigating perimenopause with more grace, balance, and beauty. 💛

The best oregano oil is emulsified. Par Shelley digested so you don’t get the burps. Want a discount on my favourite brand put oil in the text below?

A high school freshman, through a science fair project, found OREGANO OIL outperformed amoxicillin - one drop killed 100% of tested bacteria.

🌿👅 Your Tongue Tells a Story

In Chinese Medicine, the tongue is a map of your internal health — showing where heat, cold, damp, or deficiency patterns may be hiding.

In Functional Medicine, the tongue reflects microbiome balance, hydration, nutrient status, and even systemic inflammation.

👉 A pale tongue? Think Qi or blood deficiency — in Functional Medicine, this may look like low iron, B12, or thyroid imbalance.
👉 Red with spots? Heat and inflammation — correlating to gut dysbiosis, histamine reactivity, or food sensitivities.
👉 Thick coat? Dampness in TCM — in FM, this may be candida, sluggish detox, or poor digestion.
👉 Cracks? Yin deficiency — often seen with stress, dehydration, or hormone depletion.
👉 Dark or black coating? Toxic heat — linked to oxidative stress, microbial imbalance, or medication side effects.

✨ Your body is always talking. The tongue is one of the simplest yet most powerful diagnostic tools — bridging ancient wisdom with modern science! Want me to take a look at yours? Don’t be shy pop your tongue pic in the chat!
