The Full Harvest Moon

This moon marks fulfillment and closure, the bridge between light and dark, summer and fall. It calls us to pause, honor what has been completed, and embrace the grace of letting go — knowing that release is not loss, but renewal; the earth resting before new seeds are sown.

Why it’s better to have beverages at room temperature

Drinking fresh-pressed juice at room temperature (or slightly cool, not cold) allows maximum nutrient absorption, smoother digestion, and a gentler effect on your body’s energy systems

Healing green juice elixir

Fresh-pressed dandelion, celery, parsley, lemon, green apple, ginger juice + blended avocado combo is basically a functional medicine elixir — every ingredient is doing something specific for the liver, kidneys, gut, adrenals, and blood.

Neuro-relaxation and healing adrenal fatigue

Neuro-relaxation is essentially the process of shifting your nervous system out of a state of high alert (sympathetic dominance—fight, flight, or freeze) into a calmer, more balanced state (parasympathetic dominance—rest, digest, and repair).

Giving up artificial and natural sugars to get rid of all sugar cravings

Sugar substitutes — even the “natural” ones — can be problematic for adrenal fatigue because they still trigger the body’s stress and insulin response, disrupt gut health, and keep you on the blood sugar roller coaster that exhausts the adrenals

Calming The Nervous System With Self Regulation

Self-regulation isn’t about never feeling strong emotions or stress. It’s about shortening the time it takes to return to balance and increasing your sense of safety in the present moment.

Why Cortisol Gets Raised and how to lower it to a healthy level

The goal isn’t to “eliminate” cortisol—you need it to survive. The key is to restore a healthy rhythm: high in the morning, low at night.

How to Know If You’re in Fight or Flight Mode

If your body feels wired or your mind feels like it’s sprinting without rest—you’re likely in fight-or-flight.

The relation to lungs and stored grief

In TCM, each organ system correlates with an emotion. For the lungs, that emotion is:

Grief & Sadness

The lungs are seen as the “tender organ” that governs breath, letting go, and our connection to life.

What it’s like living in fight or flight

Living in fight or flight or a state of hypervigilance is like having your body’s alarm system stuck in the “on” position. It’s not just an emotional experience—it’s a whole-body physiological state that affects your nervous system, hormones, immune function, digestion, and even your thoughts and relationships.
