There are a lot of natural ways to support your blood pressure ❤️

The most surprising of which is - eat more salt! Unrefined salt, that is!

It’s full of healthy trace minerals that help to lower your blood pressure and increase proper cellular function.

Please note, this is not medical advice and if you’re concerned if it’s right for you, speak with your doctor.

The goal isn’t avoidance, it’s resilience, durability, and capacity in the face of stress.

Trust your body and your ability to adapt and regulate. You were literally built for it ❤️

Do you crash between 1–3pm? ⏰ In Chinese medicine, this is small intestine time and if your energy dips here, it may be more than just needing a snack or coffee. ☕️

The small intestine’s role is to separate the pure from the impure — both physically and emotionally. When it’s out of balance, you might notice:
🌿 Digestive issues like leaky gut, rashes, or fatigue
🌀 Feeling confused or overwhelmed, especially in relationships
🗣️ Communication that feels unclear, disorganized, or edged with frustration

Supporting your small intestine can restore energy ⚡, clarity 💡, and more ease in your interactions 💞.

The 5 elements of Chinese medicine represent 5 universal qualities of qi or energy.

These energies are found in nature and within us.

So yes, you can literally observe a tree or the soil to learn more about yourself!

The 5 elements are a comprehensive system of medicine that addresses mental, emotional, and physical issues.

By learning about the elements, you’ll learn how to balance yourself internally, which leads to greater health and happiness!

The 5 elements are my favorite thing to teach because they’ve been profoundly impactful in my own life.

I’m currently developing a program to help you use the 5 elements to care for your nervous system and emotions.

The main goal during a fever is to support your body’s process so it can do its job more quickly.

Your fever IS the medicine - a higher body temperature kills off viruses and bacteria and it helps your immune system work faster.

Supporting your fever helps you move through your illness more quickly and often improves chronic health conditions after you’ve recovered.

Fevers are safe in adults up to 104-104.5 degrees. Get a good thermometer and check in often!

Please note this is not medical advice. Check with your doctor to see what’s right for your personal health.

✨ Homemade Cinnamon Spiced Granola ✨

This recipe is guaranteed to make your house smell intoxicatingly delicious, like spiced cinnamon c***r on a fall day.

Use this as a quick snack, add it to your yogurt for a warming kick to your breakfast, or eat it like cereal by splashing your favorite milk over the top.

This recipe can be vegan (just use coconut oil instead of butter), gluten free (if you use gluten free oats) and contains no refined sugar.

Maple syrup is the main sweetener and here’s a special note: ideally you want grade A dark. The darker syrup is less refined and has more minerals and nutrients, so you’ll definitely get more maple flavor and bang for your buck by buying grade A dark. This used to be known as grade B but the naming changed in the last few years.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:
3 cups thick cut or regular rolled oats (not instant)
2 cup coarsely chopped raw nuts: any combo you like of walnuts, almonds, or pecans
1 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup shredded, unsweetened, and unsulfured coconut
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp ground cloves
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp high mineral salt
½ cup pure grade A dark maple syrup
½ cup melted virgin coconut oil or ½ cup melted butter
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract

Optional additions: sunflower seeds, raisins, dried apples, cranberries, or cherries

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 275F. Line 2 9x13 baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the rolled oats, chopped nuts, spices, and salt into a medium bowl and mix well. Add melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla to the oat mixture and mix together.

Spread half of the mixture onto each baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir with a spatula. Return the baking sheets to the oven and bake another 10 minutes. Your granola should be golden brown and nicely toasted.

Mix in coconut and dried fruit if you’re using it at this time. Let cool completely before transferring to a large glass jar. I use 2 1-quart ball jars. Seal tightly and store at room temperature for 2-3 weeks.

Makes about 2 quarts

Fall is the season of the metal element in Chinese medicine, and the energy of that element influences every aspect of your life.

It’s best to support your metal element in the fall so you stay balanced and healthy.

The metal element is associated with grief and letting go - two things most of us avoid thoroughly.

Now is the time to dive into them as the seasonal energy is supporting you.

When you grieve and let go you make room for something more.

If you’d like to learn more about the energy of each season and how they impact your health plus seasonal foods and recipes, check out my Taste of the Seasons guides: https://www.drlizcarter.com/landing/taste-of-the-seasons/

It’s totally normal to have trouble executing the basics when it comes to your health like drinking more water, getting enough sleep, or eating healthy food.

Instead of beating yourself up about it, look deeper and cut yourself some slack using the tips I mention in the video.

The basics are almost never simple so be kind to yourself 🧡

And remember it’s best to break these larger lifestyle changes into small steps. That way you slowly build new habits over time and it’s less overwhelming.
