A giant dog in a pram. People chuckle and take photos and there’s certainly no way to be inconspicuous with this set up. A little dog was barking at us like crazy probably because it was such a strange sight. But Olive’s world has gotten so much smaller, as has mine. And I think she’s enjoying being able to go for a little stroll.

I haven’t gone on any walks outside since Olive stopped being able to walk very well. Turns out pushing nearly 50 lbs up even a slight incline is a great workout.

I don’t know how much time we have left together in this earthly plane but I’m willing to do anything to make it even 1% more enjoyable for my 17 yr old Standard poodle {dancing} Queen, for however many days she has left.

(When she first started having arthritis symptoms, she told an animal communicator once how she used to be so athletic and as graceful as a ballerina 🥹)
Alysa Liu embodies sheer joy and fun and you can FEEL it when you watch her skate, speak, smile. We heal when we have fun, surrender, experience joy, live in community and in support of others. We heal when we take time to rest and to have the courage to step away when we’re burnt out. We heal when we let go of ego, worry, the need for validation, get out of our heads and sink into our bodies.

Qi and blood flow smoothly and in balance when we are soft and yielding not when we are forcing, clenching, trying to be perfect, feeling overwhelmed and putting pressure on ourselves.

Quiet practices like breathing, meditation, journaling support us in our healing but so does fun, joy, ease, smiling, laughter, LIVING. This is how we heal our nervous systems, our spirit and our bodies and ultimately, our world.

I am wishing for all of us to have more fun, more creativity, more confidence, more self love, more ease, more joy, less pressure, less ego, less insecurity, less perfectionism, less overthinking.
Things that nourish me and hold me up. Especially when life is overwhelming and the world is in the middle of a grand painful process of death and rebirth (I hope that’s what’s happening?) or just when life is mundane and unsexy because sometimes that’s what it means to be a human adult. What/who helps hold you up?
Maybe instead of New Year, new me, we embrace more of our real Selves, the parts that yearn to be seen, to be soft, the parts of us that ask for grace and tenderness, the parts of us that are unapologetic and free, the parts of us that don’t need changing but rather deserve patience and permission to go at our own pace.

You don’t need a reset or a cleanse. We just need you. And more of it. Come as you are.
This Thanksgiving season, I am filled with heartbreak and gratitude. What I thought was just an inconvenient and uncomfortable bout of digestive distress has turned out to be masses in Olive’s spleen and lungs. Most likely an aggressive cancer that bloomed swiftly. Not unexpected in her elevated status as a super sweet 16 senior but shocking still the same. Or maybe it’s been lingering and I was spared the knowledge. Olive’s higher self protecting me.

I don’t know if it will be days, weeks or God willing, months.
What I thought was preparation and certainty a mere weeks ago was still abstract I’m realizing. Filled with hope and delusion.

Even in her final season, she is continuing to be my teacher. I am soaking in every moment of her physical presence, breathing her into my cells. But every inch of my body and every DNA strand is screaming, I don’t want lessons. I don’t want to grow or learn. I don’t want to mourn. I want to simply be happy with you here in this plane forever.
An impossible request.

We’ll be seeing her regular vet Monday to see what we can do to keep her more comfortable. For now, she’s continuing to have digestive issues but still eating, walking, peeing. I’m giving her herbs for soothing the gut lining and I’ll be adding in Yunnan Baiyao as soon as it arrives. She will tell me when she’s ready to walk on. May I be granted peace, strength and surrender when the time comes. Animals aren’t like us. They don’t hold on, hoard, linger, yearn. They are fully available for what’s in front of them. And I hope I can be more this way.

If you are in the business of prayers, I would be oh so grateful if you could please send prayers for ease and comfort and joy in these uncertain yet finite days. And I send out a heartfelt plea that our remaining time together be elastic, stretched out as far and wide as possible.
I’m witnessing Olive slowly decline in real time. She doesn’t have a disease (besides osteoarthritis), she is just slowly expiring. Our bodies are really no different than organic plant matter. We are all made of the same earthly substance. Our tissues only have a finite amount of life force that gives way to our transmutation into the next phase. The way liquid turns to gas.

I see it in my own skin and organs. I just do my best to elongate the process. And help my patients do the same.

If you’ve ever ushered a loved one onward into the next realm, it’s a strange feeling to know you have a finite amount of time left together. It’s a certainty we are rarely confronted with in this life. You want to spend every minute with them because the end of this physical union is near and every moment is a gift. I’d be lying if I said sometimes I don’t even want to go out to see friends because I don’t want to give up my precious remaining moments with my miraculous and brilliant soulmate.

But I also know I need to keep living as she is dying. We are all dying of course. We just fool ourselves into thinking we have endless amounts of time here and with each other.

I’m doing my best to be present and not pre grieve (too much). But I think about the inevitable day and how quiet the house will feel. The deep silence is what I fear the most. When a living loving being is in your space, there’s a constant energy that surrounds you like a warm embrace.

The key to happiness is being wholly in the now. I’m doing my best to practice this. But I stumble often.

For those of you who have been a caregiver to a loved one or a senior pet, (the word pet feels so inadequate), please send any and all words of love, insight and advice. I know there’s no way to prepare but also, how do I prepare?
These shorter days means less Vitamin D. Vitamin D is antiviral and affects our immunity, our mood and our hormones. Did you know Vitamin D actually isn’t a vitamin? It actually functions as a hormone. It was mislabeled as a vitamin when it was first discovered and stuck.

In a perfect world, we would’ve spent all summer outside soaking up plenty of sun and converting those golden rays into an abundance of vitamin D that would support us through the winter months. But between working indoors, sunscreen and capitalism, that just isn’t the case for most.

Hope these tips help you keep your levels in an optimal range so you’re feeling good all through Fall and Winter.
Boo! The true horrors of healthcare. Happy Halloween!
If you’re struggling with energy and weight loss and hormonal balance, for the love of God, give yourself permission to skip that 6am workout and sleep in an extra hour. Movement and exercise are vital for our health but sleep outweighs exercise if your body is depleted or deficient. Most people need more sleep than they realize. (Esp with the constant amount of stimuli we have and how fast the world is moving) So first and foremost, work on getting 8-9 hours of quality sleep nightly, THEN layer in exercise in a way that isn’t depleting.

This also goes for those of you who snooze every 5-10 min for 30-60 min before waking. I’d rather you just set your alarm for a little later and get another 20-50 min of good deep sleep.

If you’re tired everyday or unable to sleep well, then we’ve got some work to do to figure out what’s at the bottom of that fatigue and poor sleep.

You can work with me or work with your own Naturopathic or Chinese Medicine Doctor to help you find more balance.
Feeling tired, brain foggy, cold all the time but your thyroid labs are “normal?” We need to look beyond just standard TSH testing to assess your full thyroid function. Or if you’re not having symptoms, we want to uncover subtle thyroid imbalances *before* they turn into symptoms or disease. If you’re experiencing symptoms of low thyroid function but doctors keep telling you your labs are normal, make sure you’re getting all your thyroid markers checked AND make sure your values are in an optimal thyroid range. Normal does not equal optimal!
Hope this video helps and save for later and share with anyone you think could use this info.
Let me know if you’d like a part 2 on natural ways to support your thyroid.
