An atelier, traditionally the private working space of a creative, is where one creates, teaches and refines their passion through devoted practice. For me, it is the space where holistic medicine is both practiced and transmitted—where you receive deeper teachings and nuanced protocols. I'm Cicely Everson, and I teach pattern interruption. My work is repatterning—for those who feel like their bodies have forgotten how to heal. Repatterning disrupts the threads (the underlying causes) that live under the symptoms and the diagnoses. The work that shifts what your body feels but your labs don't always tell. I'm a clinical herbalist, functional medicine practitioner, and channel with an east-by-west approach to healing and longevity. And I believe your body isn't broken—it just may be speaking a language you're still learning to translate. The Atelier is medicine as craft. Healing as art form. I hope you enjoy the conversations. Let's get into it. Much love, Cicely

  1. The 3 Patterns That Change Everything

    The 3 Patterns That Change Everything

    Today, we lay the foundation for everything to come. In this episode, I introduce the three core constitutional patterns that underlie most chronic health conditions: Deep Depletion, Inflammatory Heat, and Metabolic Stagnation. This transforms how you understand your body—shifting from symptom management to pattern recognition, from treating the surface to addressing the terrain. In This Episode: Why pattern recognition matters more than diagnosisThe three constitutional patterns I've identified across hundreds of clinical casesDeep Depletion: running on empty and why rest alone won't fix itInflammatory Heat: when your body can't turn off the alarmMetabolic Stagnation: stuck, slow, and struggling to move anything forwardWhat causes each pattern and why conventional approaches often miss the rootHerbal and clinical strategies that actually work for each patternHow to identify your primary pattern (and why most people are a combination)The art of treating the terrain, not just the symptomsI wrote The Burnout Pattern, a free guide that covers all three patterns. I also have a free quiz for you to determine your dominant pattern. Both. are available to you for free at iyasumed.com.

  2. Perimenopause & The Chinese Body Clock, pt. 2

    Perimenopause & The Chinese Body Clock, pt. 2

    In this episode (part two): We pick up where we left off. We learned in part one how the Chinese Body Clock can be used to help identify what organ needs support, both energetically and physically. Today, we begin with the small intestine. Small Intestine (1-3pm) - During perimenopause, women often report afternoon cognitive decline, difficulty with decision-making, and what's clinically described as "brain fog" appearing consistently in this time windowBladder time (3-5pm) - it stores and releases not just physical fluids but also relates to our capacity for willpower and forward momentumKidney time (5-7pm) - the organ system that bears a heavy burden of transformation, responsible for producing, storing, and during perimenopause, fundamentally redistributing reproductive hormonesPericardium's evening (7-9pm) temperature chaos - hot flashes, emotional protection going haywire, intimacy feeling impossibly vulnerable or distantTriple Burner (9-11pm) meridian - the body's thermostat can fluctuate between freezing and burning within minutes; often experiences significant dysregulation - hence the characteristic night sweatsGallbladder (11pm-1am) - governs our capacity for clear judgment and decisive actionPerimenopause isn't the body malfunctioning - it's the body restructuring itself. Each symptom appearing in its organ window is your body communicating with you, it's just speaking a language you're still learning to translate!

  3. Perimenopause & The Chinese Body Clock, pt. 1

    Perimenopause & The Chinese Body Clock, pt. 1

    Has your body awakened you at 1:47am with a mind that won't quiet? Have you ever experienced rage randomly or perhaps at specific times of the day? Has your digestion seemed to turn on you, causing discomfort with almost everything you eat these days? These aren't random malfunctions. They're your organs speaking in their specific time windows, and in perimenopause, they're speaking louder than ever before. This episode maps the 24-hour Chinese body clock through the particular lens of perimenopause - showing how hormonal transformation amplifies each organ system's voice during its two-hour window of peak activity. What might feel like your body failing is actually your body using time itself to announce and navigate one of life's most profound transitions. In this episode (part one): The quiet symptoms that appear first - the ones women mention apologetically, almost as afterthoughts, before recognizing they're following precise patterns tied to organ meridian timesWhy 1-3am waking may not be insomnia but your Liver processing both hormones and identity, metabolizing decades of what's been while sorting what's becomingThe 3-5am Lung window and that specific quality of sourceless grief - how perimenopause asks the body to practice release and exhalation in the predawn hoursLarge Intestine (5-7am) and the sudden digestive complications that mirror a deeper question: what patterns do we keep carrying, what do we finally eliminate?Stomach (7-9am) and its confused receptivity - when what once nourished now agitates, and the body asks to be fed differentlyThe Spleen's mid-morning struggle (9-11am) to transform food into energy, and experience into understanding; when brain fog and worry loops signal transformation fatigue rather than cognitive declineThe Heart (11am-1pm) and emotional flooding - palpitations, sudden tears, the feeling of too much or too empty as every heartbeat circulates blood with a different hormonal story

  4. Mercury Retrograde as Medicine

    Mercury Retrograde as Medicine

    What if the timing everyone complains about is actually the healing window you've been missing? Mercury retrograde isn't cosmic chaos—it's your body's invitation to turn inward, review what's dormant, and clear what you've been carrying. In this episode, I bridge the gap between planetary intelligence and clinical practice, exploring why certain protocols fail during certain times, how viral reactivation patterns align with retrograde cycles, and what it means to work WITH your body's natural rhythms instead of against them. If you've ever felt worse during a detox, wondered why old symptoms resurface seasonally, or sensed that your body has its own calendar beyond what the labs reveal, this conversation is for you. We're preparing the ground for something deeper: the Retrograde Viral Detox protocol launching this February. Because healing isn't just about what you do—it's about when you do it.
