Change the model. If something’s not working for you - change things up. Look at it from a different angle - get another perspective. Don’t be afraid to use your own experience and knowledge in a new way, don’t be afraid to take big steps or go in a new direction that is true to your heart ⚪️ I’m working on something special these next few weeks and getting so so excited to share more with you guys on how to integrate 5 Elements and all the wisdom TCM and East Asian Medicine have for seasonal, balanced living. 💛.

Watermelon Spearmint Tomato Jalapeño Lime Feta salad is the perfect example of adding some Yang heat (fresh jalapeño) to your therapeutically cooling foods (melon + mint + lime) so that they can more effectively balance & communicate with your body in the midst of the hottest season. In this severe TX summer, maybe think of this bit of spicy heat as bringing a native speaker along with you to a foreign country to which you are bringing aid in desperate times. It will speak the language of heat and, in many cases, allow you to do your best healing work. Stay cool today! ❤️☀️💦🇺🇸.

LYCHEE + WATER SPINACH (ON CHOY) / Two cooling, Yin foods to help you beat that summer heat. Lychees make for a super refreshing end to a meal - simply peel and eat around the seed. On Choy is a very versatile green found at your Asian supermarket- sauté or stir fry with garlic and you’re good to go. ☀️🎏.

The 5 Elements ( often called 5 Phases) are METAL, WATER, WOOD, FIRE, EARTH. The Metal energy peaks in the fall. In the cool, crisp, clean air, metal people feel they can accomplish anything. The color of Metal is white, and the refinement associated with precious metals resonates with Metal types in their soul. A person with a Metal qi imbalance may be overly-critical or have a hard time letting go. When the Metal energy is weak there may be Lung/Respiratory or Large Intestine illness. The flavor of this element is pungent- nourishing mine with a dish of white asparagus/radish/green onion and salmon with an orange-ginger dressing. 👌🎐⚪️🍚🕊

What’s for dinner? Asian Salmon with Bok Choy & Hei Zhi Ma - aka Black Sesame seed! Hei Zhi Ma is a legit Chinese herb we use for deficiency/depletion especially relating to the Liver and Kidneys. It’s very nourishing to the blood and YIN 🌑parts of our body. Personally, I got majorly depleted & lost a ton of hair after both my pregnancies - using herbs like this (among many other things) is a little daily ritual for me to cultivate more yin in my life. ❤
