Welcome to the first of the Sagire's Health Compass newsletter.
Welcome to Sagire’s Health Compass!
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Whether you’re a current patient or new to Sagire, I hope this newsletter becomes a trusted resource for guiding you towards balanced health.
### What to Expect
Each month, I’ll be sharing updates, health insights, seasonal eating tips, and much more. The focus will always be on providing you with actionable advice that complements our work together at Sagire.
### Featured Podcast: Menopausal Women’s Health Balance
In this month’s podcast, I discuss the concept of **balance** and why it’s so crucial during menopause. Classical East Asian Medicine (CEAM) offers unique perspectives on how we can regain energy, improve sleep, and manage mood swings naturally. You can listen to the episode on your preferred podcast platform or through the members area.
### Seasonal Health Insights
As we move deeper into Spring, the subject of next months podcast, your body’s energy naturally rises, and this is the perfect time to focus on **renewal**. In CEAM, Spring is associated with the Liver system, which governs the free flow of energy and emotions. If you’re feeling stuck or tense, incorporating gentle movement and stress-relieving practices into your routine can be particularly helpful now. Try taking a 20-minute walk outdoors or practice some mindful breathing exercises.
### Eating with the Season
Spring’s energy invites lighter, more refreshing foods that help detoxify and invigorate the body. Think fresh greens, sprouts, and herbs like parsley and mint. Below is a simple, nourishing recipe to help you align with the season:
**Spring Detox Salad**
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup sprouts (your choice)
- ½ avocado, sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Toss everything together for a quick, nutrient-packed meal that supports the Liver's energy and leaves you feeling light and refreshed.
### What’s Happening at Sagire?
This month, we’ve expanded our offerings to include **Telehealth appointments**! Whether you’re too far away to visit the clinic or simply prefer the convenience of virtual consultations, I’m now available to guide you from the comfort of your home.
If there’s a specific topic you’d like covered in future newsletters, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Please feel free to reply or reach out via the website.
**Until next month, take care and stay balanced!**
Warm regards,
Dr Ian (CM)
