Growing up, traditional Chinese medicine (#TCM) was always a part of my life, and lately I’ve been making a conscious effort to reconnect with the wellness practices that have shaped me. Between grad school, clinical rotations, and everything else life throws my way, self-care has taken a bit of a backseat. A small, but mighty, reminder to myself that taking care of my well-being deserves just as much time and attention as everything else on my plate. Sharing one of my favorite wellness gems, @___goodplace____ , in case you’re in need of a little reset, too. 🤍

The question I get the most lately is, “do you do virtual appointments?” and “what is it like? What does it include?” So, here’s a breakdown on how I work with my patients who aren’t able to make it into clinic. I decided to start doing virtual appointments, because I noticed that my in person patients would see fantastic results…☝🏻WHEN they did their homework and took their herbs, because wellness is 90% daily habits, diet, and lifestyle. If I needle you once a week, it doesn’t undo or resolve the other 6 days. The goal is to give my patients tools for healthy, lifelong habits that they can easily implement into their everyday life. It’s not about radical change, but making small changes everyday that make a big difference.

People often come to me as a last resort: “I’ve tried everything else, nothing’s worked, I want to try the eastern medicine route” but TCM is about living preventatively, and I work with my patients to prevent them from using acupuncture as a last resort (cut my life into pieces) and graduating them to coming to me for their 5,000 mile service instead. These are things that are just *known* when you study TCM, but aren’t known to be normal in “west”. If you’ve been feeling “off” and biomedicine can’t give you a reason why, TCM has ways of explaining nuanced and subtle body sensations that western medicine has never been able to. Integrating TCM into everyday life is not about radical change, but making small changes everyday that make a big difference.

I mainly make these videos to remind myself how lucky I am to live these long, full, busy days doing what I love with the people who matter most. In the moment I can’t wait for the day to end and for bedtime to come, but I immediately miss my son when he goes to sleep #stockholmsyndrome If you come see in person, virtually, or if you’re one of my incredible friends, thank you for spending these days with me ♥️ If you’re interested in learning more about TCM food and how to incorporate effortlessly it into everyday, busy life, we should work together! 🌿Booking link is in my bio🌿 💫 both in person and virtually 💫 📍GOOD PLACE acupuncture + Asian pantry 2472 Chambers Rd, Suite 110, Tustin, CA 92780 . . . .

As an introvert, making content for my small acupuncture business is more difficult than I want it to be haha (hence, the return of the foot content lol) I don’t ever film myself treating patients, because I’m giving you my undivided attention during our 1:1 session, and it’s your time to feel safe, rest, and heal. So, that leaves me to needle myself to get footage (lol) for any videos I make. This is a video of me needling Liver 3 on myself. Liver 3 (Taichong or Great Surge) is a very useful point, it: • Regulates Liver Qi • subdues Liver Yang • regulates menstruation • calms the mind and relieves ANGER !!! • nourishes Liver Yin It is often coupled with LI 4 to effectively move Qi and Blood throughout the body.

What a week! People often ask me, “what does acupuncture help with?” Short answer is, “A LOT.” The symptoms you experiencing are often a branch to some sort of internal disharmony or pattern. Two people may be experiencing constipation but their treatments look completely different, because TCM and eastern medicine works to treat you as an individual and not a list of your symptoms.

Overeating in TCM is generally frowned upon (especially meaty, greasy foods)…BUT if you happen to find yourself at AYCE KBBQ and are having the best time, these are things you can do to make sure you don’t feel absolutely disgusting afterwards. TCM is a fluid medicine and making small changes in your daily diet can make big changes in how you feel. The goal isn’t to restrict what you eat (because that’s no fun); the goal is to consistently make better food choices that are backed by ancient medicine.

The Autumnal Equinox, qiū fēn or thu phân, is the time of the year when the days and nights are equal lengths and yin and yang are in balance. During this time it’s important to prioritize rest AND movement equally. Autumn is lung season in TCM, so it’s recommended to eat white colored foods like pears and pungent foods like garlic to support lung health. Seasonal fruits/veggies include chestnuts, apples, pears, olives, and papaya. Emotionally, this is the time to let things go and shed emotional baggage, just like the tree sheds its leaves for fall.

When you stop accepting that pain is normal, you open yourself up to getting your body to a good place. Chronic pain is not normal, you shouldn’t have to live with it. Constipation is NOT normal, you should feel empty again. Constantly clenching and being tense is not normal, your body needs help letting go. Having no appetite is not normal!!! You should enjoy your food!! Brain fog is not normal, you should go through life with mental clarity! Performing your best and feeling your best is achievable. I’m here for your wins and your losses and to help support you through them to get you feeling like yourself again.

I started July with 250 followers, and now there are over 5,500 new faces here, so I thought I’d reintroduce myself. I’m Jes. My background is in chemistry, research and development, and FOOD. I was a chemist in so many different industries, and I was a line cook through school; I thought I found my calling when my worlds collided, and I became a food scientist (it was not my calling lol). My love of food started out of desperation; I grew up hungry most of my childhood, and I learned how to cook for my little sister and myself when I was 8 by watching good eats on food network. I’m a doctor of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, and I graduated valedictorian of my class (while I was pregnant lol). I chose to quit my very stable, very ok enough chemistry job in the middle of the pandemic, because I felt that there had to be more to life than whatever I was doing. I wanted to help people in a way that was wholesome, and TCM reminded me of my grandparents. I’m vietnamese-american and I recently found a new appreication for how special my culture and food are. I started GOOD PLACE with a newborn and had no idea what I was doing; all I knew was that I wanted to help people feel better and share my love of food with them (just like my grandparents). Thank you for being here with me. I am truly grateful.
