What I'm Loving This Spring - 2026

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, spring is the season of the Wood element, the time of the Liver and Gallbladder, when the body naturally wants to move, cleanse and renew after the heaviness of winter. This year I've been listening closely to what my body is asking for, and I'd love to share what has been nourishing me. My mornings begin with warm lemon water, a small ritual that gently wakes my body and sets my intention for the day. I've also been adding minerals to my water and can't seem to get enough, a craving I've learnt to trust as a quiet message from my body. I've been drawn to ketosis-focused foods, and my body has been craving a break from digestion. Without forcing it, I've fallen into a rhythm of 16 to 18 hours without food each day. Family dinners are often later than I'd like in this season of kids' sport and commitments, so I've let that shared meal become the anchor of my day and break my fast around 16 hours later. Surprisingly, I don't miss my morning coffee at all. Instead, I'm noticing a lightness and clarity I haven't felt in a long time. Every other day, I take psyllium husk and activated charcoal to keep things moving and support my body as it clears what it is releasing. Movement has become something my husband and I share. Each night before bed, we're working through a 28-day fascia release program together, softening the tension of the day before sleep. During the day, I spend 10 minutes on the rebounder, and most weeks we're in the sauna four days out of seven. If I'm honest, he mostly follows my lead. Once it's on and heated up, he can't resist joining me! I've come to see that when one of us shows up for our wellbeing, it quietly invites the other to do the same. What started as a Spring Reset evolved into something much more, and that is actually the whole point of the course. We got the energy moving, then simply followed our intuition, our guides and each other. Spring invites us all to let go of what we no longer need and make space for something fresh. What is your body asking for this spring? This is my personal experience, not a recommendation. But I would love to hear how you went. If you haven't had a look do so now its free and in the course section of the community.
