OUTLIVE ASSEMBLE

This journal series, rooted in the yang-sheng tradition of “nourishing life,” translates organ-channel theory into clear, evidence-aligned perspectives that connect day-to-day health concerns with long-term vitality. Topics span from Liver dynamics in metabolic ageing, the Kidney channel’s role in restorative sleep, the Spleen’s influence on digestion—and, for women, how Liver-Spleen-Kidney harmony supports cycle regularity, fertility and a smoother menopause transition. Each piece blends current biomedical research with practical, self-care-oriented TCM guidance, offering a roadmap for managing key health concerns while adding years of robust function.

  • After three sessions, my right-sided neck pain stopped waking me at 3 a.m. Range of motion improved from a stiff, partial turn to being able to look fully over my right shoulder. We kept a pain diary. My average score fell from 7/10 to 2/10 over four weeks. No meds; posture work plus targeted acupuncture made the difference.

  • Cleared by my rheumatologist, I added weekly acupuncture to my PMR treatment. By week four, mornings loosened sooner, my sleep became steadier, and I returned to 30 minute walks. The gains have held between sessions and I have made daily routines workable again.

  • I came in with Crohn’s flares that made workdays unpredictable. Carla’s treatment reduced the cramping and urgency, and my afternoon energy stabilised. My GI meds stayed the same, while focusing on gut-calming points and stress regulation. I can now get through the day with far fewer interruptions.

  • I came in with weekly, disabling migraines. After two acupuncture sessions, attacks spaced out to occasional episodes and the warning pressure eased enough to keep working through the day. I now use fewer rescue meds and can manage triggers with the routine we set together.
