Are you someone who finds it hard to stay warm in winter?
Are you struggling with fertility or hormonal issues?
Do you often feel tired or depleted, especially as we head into the colder months?
Then grab a cup of ginger tea and your cosiest blanket, because today we’re diving into the wisdom of Winter - and more specifically, the magical, mysterious world of your Kidney Organ System.
Yep, your Kidneys aren’t just cute little bean-shaped things that filter your blood; they’re the powerhouse of your vitality, fertility, and longevity.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, winter is ruled by the Kidney organ system, and it’s a time for slowing down, going inward, and preserving your precious life force - known as Essence, or Jing. And honestly, you want to preserve that Jing like it’s liquid gold. Because it kinda is.
So today on I Love Me The Podcast, I’ll be walking you through:

My name is Tamra Mercieca and I’ve been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now. In 2011 I launched my online school Getting Naked where I offer programs to help people strip off the stories and childhood conditioning, so they can fall in love with themselves.
While I go by many labels - mumma, wife, tea lover, drummer - professionally I’m known as a Self-Love Therapist, Writer and Women’s Pelvic Health Guide, qualified in over a dozen physical and mental health modalities. I’m the author of two books, have been published in dozens of print and online publications, appeared on TV many times, and love to share the teachings of self-love at yoga and spirituality festivals.
Personally, my journey began when I worked out how to overcome suicidal depression and anxiety (and get off my meds). I then went on to create a ten-session program where I now help others do the same.
