I guess I’ve always loved to bring things together. I was lucky to see the beauty in Chinese medicine at a young age and it still deeply moves me today. Feeling grateful to have this work & worldview in my life. 🙌.

Current lunch mood! I’ll make a version of these probably 3 days this week & I tend to go to these when I need a reset but also feel like something light / raw (although I rarely eat a whole raw meal - so some components still cooked here) - easy, very quick to assemble when you make a couple items in advance. Blanched Collard Veg wraps with roasted cauliflower + sunflower-cashew cream sauce. Check my stories later to see more about how to make these beauties! 🤤🤤

Fall is the Metal phase and respiratory / lung + large intestine phase. Breath work can really help nourish your lung qi — it strengthens respiratory function, cleanses the lungs, improves your protective “wei” qi (aka immunity) and also decreases general stagnation and stress in the body. These are all things you want to be doing to prevent illness and strengthen your immunity this fall! I’ll be sending out my full Lung Qi video routine in my newsletter later this month will an explanation of all these specific movements - but here’s a taste of some breathing exercises (qi gong) you can do at home to encourage your respiratory system to stay strong this season. Talking more about immunity tips - food and products - in stories this week as well! Love, Sarah 💗.

I haven’t said a proper hello in awhile and there are some new people here, so hi 👋 I’m Sarah! I’m a licensed acupuncturist with a certification in applied clinical nutrition. I’ve been practicing East Asian Medicine for 12 years in Austin and am currently on hiatus from my private practice - doing creative projects, sharing info with you here, doing some Skype consultations, and writing book content! I am passionate about holistic health, eastern medicine, mindfulness and having conversations about wellness, healing, food, motherhood, and how we are all trying our best. I have 2 little boys, a funny and musical husband named Adam, a love for design and style, I love books and am pretty introverted, and I really want to be a gardener although I have no natural talent for it (better with people!). I love helping people feel better and here @medicine_kitchen I want to help you cultivate health at home. Thanks for being here 💗💗.

Change the model. If something’s not working for you - change things up. Look at it from a different angle - get another perspective. Don’t be afraid to use your own experience and knowledge in a new way, don’t be afraid to take big steps or go in a new direction that is true to your heart ⚪️ I’m working on something special these next few weeks and getting so so excited to share more with you guys on how to integrate 5 Elements and all the wisdom TCM and East Asian Medicine have for seasonal, balanced living. 💛.

I’m puttin up a highlight section for what I call “⚡️meals” which are photos of meals I make during the weeks with ingredients and simple methods included (just not full exact recipes) for those of you who are interested and need ideas for healthy eating. Medicine Kitchen started out as a convenient way to inspire my clients to stay healthy in between their acupuncture sessions - healthy eating & cooking is a big part of that. Hope it can foster some ideas to keep you all on track or get on the track to start with! Start where you are 💗. Have a great weekend!

I’m happy to announce a new project I’ve been working on with my friend and colleague Elizabeth Bentley, holistic skincare specialist @neuskinaustin. We have recently joined forces to bring you duet sessions that merge our personal experience & knowledge of Eastern medicine, holistic nutrition, and organic skincare together! These sessions are for the woman who wants a full-spectrum perspective on natural health and beauty. With Inside | Out we will also be sharing seasonal info on how to care for your body and skin naturally, with specific ingredients, recipes and lifestyle tips, and will be offering private virtual consultations with us as a TEAM for you soon! We hope this collaboration brings you informative, useful and enjoyable tips on how to stay healthy from the inside out. Go on over to follow @neuskinaustin to learn more about Elizabeth, and stay tuned for our first lesson on Spring Health coming soon!

Chinese medicine is a unique model of looking at the body as a microcosm of the natural world, of the Earth. What happens in nature happens in ourselves. It’s inside us. We come from it. 🌱🌎💚.
