[caption id="attachment_11875" align="alignleft" width="226"] Dr. Scott Greenapple[/caption] Summer is now officially here.  In traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) the Fire element governs summer, the season of the highest heat and outward expression. In TCM, this is considered the most Yang time of year. Yang distributes function and energy.  The season, when we are in balance, rewards us with abundant energy, growth, fun-filled activities, and meaningful connections.  As the days grow longer and nature reaches its full bloom under the intense sun, the Fire element, as it relates to us, supports our bodies with vitality, joy, and hopefully, our capacity to show love for one another and the universe at large. Each element in Chinese medicine is associated with what are known as meridians or channels, which are named after...

There’s nothing quite like the taste of summer, fresh air, sunshine, and the sizzle of a grill.

Health Hints, Healthy Life, Lifestyle, Lifestyle Medicine

As summer travel season heats up, a new Omicron subvariant, NB.1.8.1, has been making headlines. Though it’s the dominant strain in China and some surrounding regions, early data shows it remains uncommon in the U.S. Still, it’s a good reminder that staying healthy while traveling requires a few thoughtful strategies. What You Should Know About NB.1.8.1 This emerging strain is part of the Omicron lineage, but it hasn’t been classified as a new variant in the U.S., since it lacks the number of mutations required to meet that definition. So far, most symptoms have been mild and have resolved within 2 to 3 days. One standout symptom is a very sore throat, often described as feeling like "razor blade irritation." While not more severe than previous strains, it may...
