Turning Off Your Internal Heater
When you successfully lose weight with medications like Saxenda or Wegovy, you lose the insulating layer of fat that normally keeps you warm. But there’s another, much deeper metabolic process taking place in your body. Because you’re consuming extremely few calories, your body lowers its core temperature to conserve precious energy. As a result, patients constantly complain of ice-cold hands, frozen feet, and chills that seem to go right to the bone—even in the middle of summer. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), heat is an expression of Yang energy. When you stop eating, you deplete Spleen Yang and eventually even Kidney Yang. The internal fire (Agni), which is necessary to keep digestion going and pump blood to the limbs, slowly dies out. To turn this tide, we must not only put on more clothes but also warm the system from the inside out.
Warming Yang Recovery with Rou Gui and Sheng Jiang
Our unique GLP-1 herbal formula has been carefully formulated to address this specific cold syndrome. The star ingredient in this formula is Rou Gui (Cinnamomum verum, or true cinnamon). Rou Gui targets the Kidney and Spleen meridians directly to vigorously reignite the fundamental Yang fire. It warms the blood and directs circulation all the way to the smallest capillaries in your fingers and toes. This is brilliantly supported by Sheng Jiang (fresh ginger), which dispels superficial cold and immediately soothes the stomach fire. To ensure this warmth doesn’t escape immediately, Huang Qi (Astragalus) and Dang Shen tonify the overall Qi, which acts as an energetic shield (Wei Qi) around the body. This warming herbal combination safely brings your body out of unnecessary “energy-saving mode.”
Optimize Digestion with Phlegm-Damp Support
A cold digestive system is also a sluggish digestive system, which means that nutrients are not absorbed adequately. A chilly and cold intestinal environment leads to the formation of Phlegm and Dampness, which further impedes blood circulation. Our Phlegm-Damp Support probiotic is essential in this process, as it successfully transforms the stagnation caused by the cold. By harmonizing the gastrointestinal tract, it helps your body generate heat more efficiently from the few calories you consume. As additional support, we often recommend ginseng or ginkgo biloba from an orthomolecular perspective to improve peripheral blood flow. Give your cold body back its well-deserved warmth and energy
