Trigger warning: this episode touches on the topic of disordered eating.

💫 We cover :

  • Recovering from disordered eating and reframing what “nourishment” for your body means - how Chinese Medicine views disordered eating and how TCM helped Allison with this journey
  • Chinese medicine’s approach to psycho emotional conditions; understanding the “heart” vs. “brain” in TCM
  • Seasonal living & tapping into the seasons to foster mind-body-connection + how this can affect diet and exercise to align with this energy according to Chinese Medicine
  • “Yin time” vs “yang time”- defining each of these energies and how to practically adjust your lifestyle to find balance between the two
  • Healing from burnout - what steps Allison has taken in her own life to adjust her body and life to bring back balance
  • Hormonal imbalances + how they show up in the body - symptoms to look out for; especially digging into endometriosis from the Western Medicine & East Asian Medicine POV
  • Breaking down the difference between genetic health & lifestyle factors + how they influence disease - according to Chinese Medicine
  • Cycle syncing energetically to unlock the superpowers of your hormones; plus a breakdown of every part of your cycle + actions to take during each part of your cycle
  • How Allison nourishes herself every week (lots of amazing self care ideas!)
