Hey folks, this is Abel James and thanks so much for joining us on the show.

Have you ever noticed that your cravings seem to change throughout the seasons?

Our nutritional needs are affected by the time of year, climate, and even our geographical location.

And in the practice of Chinese medicine, attuning ourselves to our environment

acupuncturist, Chinese herbalist, and author of the book book Nutritional Healing with Chinese Medicine.

Before we get to the interview with Ellen here's a quick reminder to make sure that

you're subscribed to this show on Apple, Spotify or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

You can also find my original music including the award-winning album Swamp Thing

by looking up Abel James on Apple or Spotify, and you can also find some of my music videos

and clips from the live shows in Texas and beyond and even 360 VR videos on my

Able James YouTube channel so be sure to check that out.

This episode is brought to you by the newsletter at able James.com

as well as our friends at Bond Charge and Safe Sleeve.
