Chantal was there for me from conception to getting the labor going. She was an essential part of making my pregnancy go as smoothly as it did and I will be forever thankful. My little boy couldn’t be happier or healthier. -Katie

Happy Summer Solstice!  Summer According to Traditional Chinese Medicine is the season of the Heart and Small intestine organs, the emotion of Joy and the element of Fire! ENGAGE YOUR SENSES: As summer brings with it a variety of intense colors, sounds, and fragrances, make yourself available to the abundance all around you. •Go outside in the grass barefooted and feel the textures that greet your feet. •Go into the garden and listen intently to the sounds of the birds and crickets, or of children playing. •Smell the flowers, the smells of summer, and take time to allow them in. •Taste the fresh fruits and vegetables, and linger over their unique flavors. Peaches and strawberries are my favorite right now! TRUST YOUR INTUITION: The heart rules understanding and intelligence, but not of the cerebral type. When we know something in our heart, we are connected to a deeper part of our being. Try to engage in this deeper knowing, and take the time to listen to your inner voice. EAT COOLING FOODS: Enjoy the flavors of the vegetables and fruits in their season. The taste associated with Fire is bitter, so try to include bitter greens like endive, escarole, spinach, kale, and Swiss chard in your diet and cooling foods such as cucumber, melons, celery and mung beans.  DRINK LOTS OF WATER: The sun pulls the moisture from your pores, so it is important that you rehydrate. Drink eight to ten 8-oz glasses of water a day and twice that if you are very active. EXERCISE: A healthy heart needs regular exercise to keep the circulatory system in good condition. Get a good cardiovascular exercise and try to build a sweat, which helps to cleanse toxins from the body. Depending on your level of fitness, make your workout fit in. If you are out of shape, begin slowly by walking daily. #summersolstice #sdacupuncture #sandiegoacupuncture #summerseason #fireelement #sandiegohealthyliving #sandiegosunshine #sandiegomama #sandiegorunners #sdtrailrunners #ghostrunners #elevationculture #ultrabuds #summerrunning #bestofsandiego
Need some stress relief? Placing a tack or seed on points on the ear can help continue a treatment once you leave the clinic. The ear is seen as a microcosm of the body. We look at it as an upside down fetus with the head located at the ear lobe and the feet at the top of the ear. I sure needed it the past 2 weeks. A whole lot going on with my kiddos. Meetings, phone calls and changing schools for the fall a day before school ended. My go to point for this is Shen Men or Calm the spirit point. I regularly get patients requesting these tacks because they notice the effect it has on helping to calm their mind. www.freeflowhealthacupuncture.com #stressrelief #sandiegoacupuncture #missionvalley #calmthemind #auricularacupuncture #sandiegoliving #sandiegomama #sandiegopregnancy #sandiegorunners #destress #shenmen
Reason number 4 why every runner should be getting acupuncture! Increased Flexibility Acupuncture can improve flexibility by reducing muscle tightness, releasing knots and relieving spasms. It also helps to decrease inflammation, swelling and bruising. This, in turn, will relieve aches and pains and increase your mobility and range of movement. On top of acupuncture, I believe yoga is absolutely essential to any athletes regimen! Do you practice yoga? What is your favorite type? #elevationculture #milestonerunning #sdtr #sandiegorunners #sandiegorunner #sdtrailrunners #urbantrailrunnerssd #ultrabuds #sandiegoacupuncture #healthyrunner #selfcare #flexible #southbayymcatrailrunners #sandiegosportsmedicine
I wanted to highlight the accomplishments of this amazing woman and to give inspiration to those who think they cannot move from where they are to where they want to be. Heather couldn’t have said it better. I highly suggest you follow her story on IG @hgeezy_fit_rbl "I promise... You don’t need ANY teas, shakes, supplements or fad diets. All you need is... REAL FOOD. ACCOUNTABILITY. CONSISTENCY. DISCIPLINE. Oh yea...and the desire to do better every single day!!” -Heather Heather has gotten to where she is today because she has some major grit! Where can you find that within yourself? @sdghostrunners has taken her even further on her journey.
