WELCOME
Here, we decode Chinese Medicine, Integrative Health, and Daoist Philosophy to help you heal from the inside out.
Please Stop Wearing Plastic Clothes (part one)
Ever wonder why your shirt traps heat and sweat on a hot day? That’s probably because it's made of plastic.
No matter what our favorite retailers tell us, their plastic clothes are harming our health. Each synthetic fiber shed into the air and water eventually makes its way back into our lungs, our brains, and other organs. And that’s not even considering the toxins being absorbed through our skin.
This series explores the extent of microfiber pollution, the health hazards it poses, and what you can do to protect yourself—and your children.
Please—for real—stop wearing plastic clothes.

Alcohol and Aging: What the Data (and Dao) Say About Longevity
Sober curiosity isn’t a trend—it’s a return to clarity.
The data is clear: even small amounts of alcohol can accelerate aging, shrink your brain, and cloud your spirit. But in a culture where drinks = bonding, choosing not to partake can feel like choosing disconnection.
This post explores how cutting back (or quitting) alcohol protects your health, sharpens your awareness, and supports your shen—the spirit at the heart of Chinese medicine.
