Your heart is doing far more than pumping blood.

In TCM, the heart houses the spirit: your capacity for joy, clarity, and genuine connection. When summer's intensity tips into overwhelm, the signs often show up as anxiety, restless sleep, scattered thinking, and a frazzled nervous system that cannot seem to settle.

In this two-hour deep dive, we will look at how heart and small intestine health shapes your emotional wellbeing, sleep, digestion, and ability to feel truly present — and why summer is the most aligned season to tend to it.

What we will cover:

- How the heart governs the spirit and what happens when it is overburdened

- The TCM link between heart health, anxiety, sleep, and mental restlessness

- The small intestine as the organ of discernment — sorting what nourishes from what depletes

- The gut-brain connection and how small intestine health affects mood and clarity

- Circulation, inflammation, and cardiovascular health through a naturopathic lens

- Why summer heat can tip the system into excess and how to cool it

- A TCM understanding of the heart and small intestine, both physically and emotionally

- Key foods, herbs, and naturopathic tools to support heart and small intestine function

- How bioresonance helps identify what the system needs to find its calm

- Tools for emotional support: working with anxiety, overstimulation, and disconnection
