What Your Tongue and Pulse Reveal About Your Health
9 days ago
- Your tongue and pulse are diagnostic windows. John walks through how TCM reads the tongue map and the pulse to get a picture of what is happening inside, a centuries-old skill that complements, rather than replaces, modern testing.
- Start with the gut, or you’re playing whack-a-mole. Citing a text from 1243, John argues that if you don’t address the “spleen and stomach,” the gut and how you assimilate food, everything downstream stays hard to fix. The root, in his framework, is almost always digestion.
- Change is ritual, not discipline. Rather than leaning on willpower, John builds habits through small, repeatable rituals, accountability, and calming the nervous system first, so the body is actually in a state where it can heal.
