Late Summer in the Language of Chinese Medicine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The “chilled to the bone” feeling caught me off guard this morning when I woke up. I’ve generally been sleeping very well lately, with cooler nights and warm days at the tail end of summer (though we have officially crossed into “real” fall as of a week ago.”) But last night, I was somewhat restless, and I woke up imagining the sound of one of my children crying, which is objectively worse than one of them actually crying (seeing as I woke up for no reason.) Normally, I’m happy when I wake up be
It’s Elderberry Season (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’re a month in to that fallish season when all of everything starts back up. Last week, my kids came down with their first set of fall sniffles. It was mild—the sort of thing where we weren’t totally sure whether it was just allergies or not until they already started getting better. Thankfully, everyone was mostly functional and a few well timed cups of tea helped tremendously.As much as I’d like to carry on and pretend like it didn’t happen (maybe that means it won’t happen again?) it was a
Press Pause on Perimenopause (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most of my patients are in their 40’s. There, I said it. It is true, at least according to the bias of my patient demographic: sh*t hits the fan when you turn 40.Is perimenopause to blame?Yes and no.

Unfortunately, your house was built from highly flammable, non-flame-retardant material (definitely not built to code), and your electrical wiring was faulty. Finally, the circuitry failed and the highly-combustible house—well—combust

I opened Instagram the other day and immediately got sucked into reading a post shown on my feed. You guys, I know this happens. The app literally advertises that they operate with this tactic in mind: show the most engaging post first so that the users get sucked in and don’t close the app. Usually, I give myself a little pep talk for this precise reason so I can avoid the gross feeling that comes from squandering 20 minutes. But this time, Meta won. (And of course, I forgot to check my DM’s wh
A Tiny Butterfly Named Raisin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Well, we are officially back in the swing of things over here. This week is back to school/co-op (what?! how?!) for my kids, the summer things are winding down, and work, for me, is ramping up. (Summer is usually a slow time because people are traveling, and—let’s be honest—people usually just feel better in the summer.)Meanwhile, we have been camping, gardening, cooking, and trying a variety of new things. Here are some updates, because I always enjoy reading them from other people.I’ll start w
