3 kinds of adipose tissue (fat!) and it doesn’t just sit there like a bump on a log. 🪵
⚠️ Subcutaneous / visceral / bone marrow = types
☯️ It’s actually an endocrine organ, and is necessary for maintaining metabolic homeostasis.

Why is an acupuncturist posting about it?
+ Seeing fat as an organ means we can recognize that fat isn’t a noun (which is often seen as failure in being a good human).
+ Fat is part of a complex system that elegantly supports life. + And as with all things, it can be out of balance. And what’s more acupuncture/TCM than a discussion of balance?

🩸I give blood about 4-5 times a year. Sometimes I donate Power Red (see photos), because you donate less often than with a standard donation, but provide twice the amount of RBCs. It takes a little longer, but they give you back your plasma, platelets and saline after extracting your red blood cells (so you feel more hydrated). And while the sensation of that is kinda tingly, it's a very easy experience IMO.
🩸 Sometimes there is swag (Red Cross beach towel pictured)
🩸I try to go to a different donation center as often as possible. This place had a lot of snacks!
🩸On the way home, there was a cool bird sighting :)
‼️Check out redcrossblood.org to learn more about who can donate power red and donations in general

🩸🩸🩸🩸OVER THE SUMMER Bring me proof that you donated (to any blood donation center) within the previous month and I will give you $10 off your next session.

“..most doctors don’t get any education at all about hormone therapy and menopause. Less than 6% of family medicine, primary care, and gynecologists feel confident at all with menopause medicine.”
—- annnnd gynecologists? Yikes!
—- and yet, menopause specialists are not easy to find in the medical system.
—- There are lots of us in TCM and acupuncture, partly because TCM has always acknowledged aging across genders, just as other parts of the life cycle.
— Another reason is that at least in the US, people in our field have always been a safe landing for patients who aren’t seen, heard, supported** (enough) in conventional medicine.
** I’m criticizing the medical system here, not individual providers who are doing great work in spite shrugging patient contact hours with increasing patient loads
