   S2E6: Dampness - To Move or To Let Go

   Dampness is not just a physical pattern - it can show up as brain fog, overthinking, emotional heaviness, and that stuck, sluggish feeling you cannot shake. We connect the dots between emotional blockage and the way dampness shows up differently in different bodies. Learn more about why worry, studying, and constant mental stimulation can create a “dam” in the system, why some people need more movement while others need more structure, and how letting go is often part of the healing in TCM and in mental health. If you have been feeling heavy, foggy, numb, or mentally overloaded, this conversation offers a grounded and compassionate way to understand what your body may be asking for.

   S2E5: Late Summer Dampness

   As summer wanes, many people find themselves feeling unusually fatigued and unwell. This post explores the concept of "dampness" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and how it can impact our health, especially during the late summer months. We’ll discuss the symptoms of dampness, its causes, and how to manage it effectively to improve your well-being. We uncover what the difference is between a "want/need" and an "indulgence", and how cravings can actually contribute to more dampness.
