Have you ever been told to eat more salads and smoothies for better health—only to feel colder, more bloated, and low on energy? I certainly did!
In this episode, I share how one piece of advice from my TCM teacher completely changed the way I eat and transformed my digestion. We’ll explore how the Spleen functions in Chinese medicine and the best nutrition strategies to support its most common patterns.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why warm, cooked foods often support digestion better than raw salads and cold smoothies in TCM
• The Spleen’s vital role in digestion, energy production, and mental clarity, plus my four guiding nutrition principles
• Food recommendations for Spleen Qi Deficiency, Spleen Qi Sinking, Spleen Yang Deficiency, and Dampness
• Simple dietary changes to reduce bloating, improve energy, and strengthen digestion using food as medicine
Whether you're supporting patients or looking to improve your own digestive health, this episode will help you nourish the Spleen the TCM way. 💜

Have we overcomplicated health? What if some of the most powerful longevity habits aren't found in expensive technology, but in nature itself?
In this episode, I reflect on the lessons we can learn from Bryan Johnson's longevity routine through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine. While modern technology has its place, I explore why supporting the body's natural rhythms may be one of the most effective health strategies of all.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• Why a healthy Stomach and Spleen are essential before relying on supplements, and how digestion impacts nutrient absorption
• How Chinese medicine encourages us to reconnect with sunlight, fresh air, seasonal living, and circadian rhythms for better health
• Why nature often provides simple solutions that technology tries to replicate
• How to find the right balance between modern science and ancient wisdom
Sometimes the best medicine is simply getting outside, breathing fresh air, and reconnecting with nature 💜
