Meeting Alyssa through a similar love of dance in a buti yoga class, with her sister Toni, I knew she was a real deal. Alyssa is, to me, a super-charged woman on a mission, who spreads her impact over many kinds of people. Read about her period truth on the blog today.

Foods, Fat, and Phases
I know that food can be a trigger for a LOT of people, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the past year, it’s that food isn’t just fuel. It’s INFORMATION for your body.

Why I’m Kicking My Coffee Habit
Truth be told, I’ve always known that caffeine/coffee/espresso is addicting. I remember my dad going through phases of “no coffee” and he would have these major withdrawl symptoms. Headaches and moodiness seemed to be rough on him.
My coffee addiction started slowly but progressed due to long days (and nights) in grad school, followed by long days in the clinic, followed by a growing love for sitting in the morning and chatting with friends, holding onto a warm cup of coffee and coconut or oat milk.
Syncing Your Skincare to Your Cycle
Not sure if it’s purely my Asian heritage or my skincare routine that should get the credit for all the compliments for my skin. It’s one of the first things people notice about me, especially in the summer when the olive notes come out after being in the sun.
I want to share all of my routines, including my skincare. One thing I’ve noticed is that my skin cycles through phases that also correlate to my menstrual cycle. (Of course! How could it not also be affected by my hormones?)
