Beyond Bone Broth: The Healing Power of Chinese Soups with Lisa Tong

In Chinese households, soup has always been so much more than comfort food. It’s a daily ritual, a way our families cared for us, and one of the most accessible ways Traditional Chinese Medicine shows up in everyday life. Today, I’m joined by Lisa Tong, also known as The Chinese Soup Lady. Lisa has spent years documenting the wisdom behind Chinese soups and teas, and what I love about her work is how she makes these traditions feel approachable and practical, without losing the depth behind them. Together, we talk about why Chinese soups are so much more than bone broth, how different ingredients can support us through seasons, cycles, and life stages, and how to actually bring this practice into modern life. So if you’ve ever been curious about Chinese soups — how they work, when to make them, and how to start making them at home — Lisa is here to break it all down.

Stress and the Spine: What Chronic Tension Is Really Telling You with Dr. Rebecca Hopkins

In this episode of the NOOCI Podcast, founder Stephanie Tan sits down with chiropractor and wellness educator Rebecca Hopkins to explore why so many people carry chronic tension in their necks, shoulders, and backs — and how stress, posture, sleep, movement, and lifestyle all play a role. Rebecca explains how the body responds to emotional and physical stress in the same way, often bracing and tightening as a form of protection. Over time, this can become the body’s default state. Together, they discuss the importance of daily movement, why walking is one of the most underrated tools for longevity, how sleep posture affects pain and recovery, and why women especially tend to put their own health last — particularly during motherhood. This episode offers a grounded, holistic perspective on caring for your body with intention, showing that healing doesn’t always require extremes, just consistency, awareness, and support.
