Wellness Guide (治未病)
You don’t have to wait until things get serious. Prevention-first wellness is a skill: notice early signals, build habits, and track what actually helps you.
The superior physician treats disease before it exists.

Core principles
Your data beats generic advice
Sleep, stress, digestion, energy and symptoms tell you what’s happening — and whether a change truly helped.
Small changes, repeated, win
You don’t need extreme routines. You need consistency and feedback loops that you can sustain.
Seasonality matters
TCM emphasizes rhythm. The same body responds differently across seasons, stress cycles, and life phases.
Daily foundations (start here)
- Sleep: protect a stable window; avoid “revenge bedtime procrastination”.
- Stress: build a 5–10 minute downshift ritual (breath, walk, journaling).
- Digestion: steady meal timing; notice bloating, appetite, stool changes.
- Movement: short daily mobility + light sweating, matched to capacity.
- Mindset: treat wellness as maintenance, not punishment.
Seasonal rhythm (simple TCM-inspired prompts)
- Spring: gentle stretching, lighter meals, more walking.
- Summer: hydration, cool-down routines, earlier sleep when possible.
- Autumn: protect lung/skin dryness; keep regularity and warmth.
- Winter: prioritize rest, warmth, and steady nourishment.
You are the first responsibility for your health
Modern systems are excellent for emergencies — but daily wellbeing is on you. Build habits before you need a rescue: track early signals, ask for help early, and stay consistent.
