What do you eat when you don’t feel like eating.. or cooking?

Egg drop soup! 🍲

Chicken broth
A splash of soy sauce
Bring it to a boil
Slowly pour in scrambled raw eggs while stirring

DONE. Warm, nourishing and ridiculously easy. 🙌

My little girl (5) was CRYING yesterday from heartburn. I didn’t even know five-year-olds could get heartburn!

We tried water, ice and milk. Finally, I said it, “Mommy has an acupuncture point for that.”

She wasn’t down for a needle in her wrist 😂, but I taught her how to massage PC6, an acupuncture point traditionally used to settle the stomach, relieve nausea and ease discomfort in the chest and upper abdomen.

And guess what? No more heartburn!

Now my little gal knows what to do: massage between the two tendons, about three of her finger-breadths above the inner wrist crease.

Now for Mom to work on eliminating a few of those triggering food choices… 🤦‍♀️

If I could book in with an acupuncturist today… what would I want treatment for? 🤔

Dx: Spleen Qi Xu with Shi Ji (Food Stagnation) affecting the Stomach.

Lately, about 30 minutes after eating, I’m bloated, I feel heavy, uncomfortable, and honestly just NASTY. It’s especially bad after greasy breakfasts and I’m definitely guilty of drinking coffee before eating.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Spleen is responsible for transforming the food we eat into Qi (energy) and moving it through the digestive system. When the Spleen is weakened by stress, irregular meals, cold drinks, greasy foods, alcohol, or eating on the go, digestion slows down.

Food doesn’t move the way it should… it stagnates.

Sound familiar?

✨ Bloating after eating
✨ Feeling overly full from a normal meal
✨ Heartburn or belching
✨ Gas
✨ Low energy
✨ Sugar cravings
✨ Brain fog
✨ Overthinking or worrying
✨ Feeling heavy or sluggish

As a busy mom and business owner, I know my lifestyle plays a role. This is my survival season, but my digestion is reminding me that I need to start supporting myself better.

So what do I recommend to myself?

🌿 Massage ST36 & SP6 daily
🫖 Drink warming teas like ginger, fennel, roasted barley, or chen pi (aged tangerine peel)
🥣 Choose warm breakfasts like congee, oatmeal, or baked sweet potato
🍲 Eat more soups and stews
☕ Maybe skip the coffee before breakfast… (I’m working on it! 😂)
🪑 Slow down and actually sit while you eat.

Sometimes our body gives us hints in the form of symptoms, it may be asking for better support.

Do any of these symptoms sound like you? I’d love to help you figure out why they’re happening, not just cover them up🌿💚
