In this episode, Dr. Evan M. Rabinowitz, the founder of the Yao Shan Center for Chinese Medicine in Washington, DC, joins us for a conversation about acupuncture for menopause symptom treatment relief, the importance of treatment for the individual, how the body is an ecosystem and how holistic & Eastern medicine focus on addressing and balancing the entire system rather than just a single problematic issue.Acupuncture as a medical practice has existed for thousands of years and it used to be the predominant healing practice, yet the Western world still sees it as “alternative medicine.” Eastern medical practice is more than just sticking needles and mixing herbs together.

Have you ever seen anyone with perfectly circular bruises out in public? It might be from a softball, or maybe some freak accident with a big glass orb; but most likely: It's from a medical practice called "Cupping". Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.  My guest today is Dr. Tom Ingegno. Tom is a super fun guy with over two decades of experience in various medical practices that date  back thousands of years. We talk about all the classic East Asian Medicine practices a little, but I was fascinated coming into this with the  practice of cupping. I had no idea it was something you could do at home for really cheap while still being effective. Having literally written the book on cupping, Tom set me straight and even steered me to buy a set of my own. I love them and have found incredible relief in a way I never imagined possible. ( Www.CharmCityIntegrative.Com ) ( Www.TheCuppingBook.Com ) ( https://a.co/d/2KDW6Hb will take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "The Cupping Book" ) Let's get some weird shaped marks! As a follow up to the episode, I did in fact buy my own kit for about 20 bucks. It  has been really easy to use and absolutely helpful for me. I thought the bruises it leaves behind would be uncomfortable, but I actually barely even feel them. Give it a shot if you're feeling curious like I was. In other news, June's rankings are updated: 1. The United States, led by Virginia, New York, and California. 2. England of the UK. Taking back the spot from Scotland. 3. Australia, with New South Wales just holding on over Queensland. 4. Canada, with Alberta now leading the provinces. 5. Ghana. Followed closely by Ireland. That's it for this week!

What goes on in your mind has a profound effect on your body. Thoughts and emotions affect all organs, including the immune, nervous, hormonal, circulatory, and reproductive systems. Emotional wellness is a vital part of your health & total wellness. When our emotions become excessive or repressed for a long time, they negatively impact the energy flow through our meridians. Your Heart and Your Emotions The heart pumps blood to nourish the cells but can get weakened due to anxiety and stress. Anxiety can affect the heart's normal functioning, raising your blood pressure and white blood cell count and increasing blood sugar through the action of adrenalin. Stress affects circulation, the heart, and the nervous system. In early Western medicine, doctors already believed emotions caused diseases. A powerful mind-body connection through which emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and behavioral factors can directly affect our health. Living with fear often leads to depression and negatively impacts health. Learning to unwind before bed and nourishing a grateful heart with optimistic thinking by writing in a gratitude journal is good for your health. Connecting Emotions and Wellness The connection between emotions and the human body has been a core topic throughout the history of science. Research indicates there are close relationships between emotions and bodily reactions during the formation of mental experiences. Physiological responses, such as cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, skeletomuscular, and autonomic nervous systems, trigger emotional experiences. Now, we understand that direct and instantaneous interactions within the body allow an emotion to be a mental recognition and a feeling within the body. The mind and body are within a unified framework. Different functions and components of the bodily system are related to corresponding categorical emotions. A 2017 research on “Understanding Mind-Body Interaction from the Perspective of East Asian Medicine” analyzed relationships between the visceral system and emotions according to the principles of East Asian medicine. The research concluded the following: -anger was related to the liver, -happiness to the heart, -thoughtfulness to the heart and spleen, -sadness to the heart and lungs, -fear to the kidneys, heart, liver, and gallbladder, -surprise to the heart and gallbladder, and -anxiety to the heart and the lungs. The research also demonstrated that specific patterns existed between the visceral system and corresponding emotions, which suggests that each emotion is primarily associated with a connected body system and corresponds to the principles of East Asian medicine. For example, the DongUiBoGam, the Korean book compiled by the royal physician Heo Jun and was first published in 1613, states the following: “The liver is in charge of anger, the heart is in charge of happiness, the spleen is in charge of thoughtfulness, the lungs are in charge of sadness, and the kidneys are in charge of fear.” Imbalances in emotions can lead to illnesses in their corresponding organs, such as -anger damages the liver, -happiness damages the heart, -thoughts damages the spleen, -anxiety damages the lungs, -fear damages the kidneys, and -surprise damages the gallbladder. The relationship between the mind and the body is horizontal, meaning the heart is significantly prevalent in most emotions. Experts consider the heart as common visceral system that influences emotions. The Korean book states the heart stores the mind, and feelings of sadness, thoughtfulness, and worries all damage the heart, signifying the heart's role in processing thoughts and emotions. Western medicine and East Asian medicine have different understanding of emotions and their relationship to the body, which leads to distinct interpretations of illness. Western medicine deals with emotional disorders using neural language, and East Asian medicine uses somatic language. Understanding this difference can offer a comprehensive perspective when healing the human body and its symptoms. Both viewpoints help us understand emotional health. The somatic language uses intuition to unlock your powers to soothe, calm, and heal. From the moment we're born, we instinctively seek ways to help and nourish our human condition. Neuroscience Lense on Emotions Neuroscience offers a look at how emotions impact the body. Neurophysiological factors play a vital role in the process of emotions. In 1985, neuroscientist Candace Pert discovered small proteins known as neuropeptides activate the circuits linked to emotions. Therefore, it's helpful to look at both Western and East Asian medicine approaches and to gain insight into how your body is functioning and take the guesswork out; getting tested with a non-invasive urine test to check over 70 markers, including your neurotransmitters, is essential. Why is it so essential to check neurotransmitters in balancing your emotions? First, conventional doctors never check your markers, so how will they offer the best solution for you? Do you know what your neurotransmitter levels are? Here are some of the important markers that we check with our specialized labs and why it is imperative to check the following markers: Norepinephrine marker: Responsible for the regulation of cardiovascular activity, body temperature, and pain sensation. Research has shown that there is a close link between this marker and anxiety and a relationship between depression and disturbance of norepinephrine in the brain. Serotonin marker: Found in the central nervous system, the gastrointestinal tract, and blood platelets influences biological and neurological processes, such as anxiety, aggression, appetite, sleep, mood, and thermoregulation. Dopamine marker: Responsible for emotion regulation is associated with mood, behavior, and cognition mediation. Recent studies in Western medicine suggest dysregulation of neurotransmitters could be one of the most important causes of emotional issues. Interest in the neuroscientific investigation has increased dramatically in the past few decades, and that's where functional medicine lab testing comes in to provide further insight into your total wellness. Integrating East & West would look into supporting organs while testing for your neurotransmitters and GI health levels with an organic acid test bundle. Support the liver function by balancing the HPA axis, spleen function by aiding the digestive system, and heart function with blood circulation and brain activity regulation. The mind-body connection is natural and scientifically proven, as your body responds to how you think, feel, and act. Your body reacts physically when stressed, anxious, or upset. You may develop high blood pressure or stomachache after a stressful event. Learn to listen to your body and keep a journal of your symptoms and feelings. Take a personal body scan to see if you can feel where your emotions impact your body. How Emotions Affect Your Body Every organ corresponds to a particular emotion. Every disease stems from an organ or meridian/energy channel imbalance. Anger weakens your Liver Grief weakens your Lungs Worry weakens your Stomach Stress weakens your Heart and Brain Fear weakens your Kidneys. Love brings peace and harmony, strengthening your mind and body. Gaining insight into your neurotransmitters brings awareness and understanding. Dive into the East Meets West Approach to Understanding Emotion Dysregulation when you gain insight into your neurotransmitter levels and get them balanced. Bypass the appointment and the drive and get the convenience of lab testing sent to your home. Gain access to a variety of cutting-edge lab tests to get a deep dive into your health.  Your healthcare practitioner should know about your emotional health Discuss with your practitioner if your feelings are causing your physical problems and ways to manage not only your physical symptoms but also your emotional ones. Achieving emotional wellness is possible and can allow you to live a physically rewarding life as well. Order your lab test directly from the lab, complete it at home, and return it to the lab. Once your results are in, we will schedule our session to review your results. You'll receive actionable next steps to eliminate guesswork and start feeling better fast. Check your overall health with an Organic acid test and if you want a deep dive into neurotransmitters then add in the Neurotransmitter test.

How strong can we get everything to constrict and then dilate and constrict, again, to kind of pump in and out fresh blood and stagnant blood for that. Dr. Tom Ingegno  cupping is creating a vacuum and sucking the skin up into that vacuum. And what we see happening is we create a space between the skin the fascia, the fascia, and the muscle, and any stagnation, any lactic acid buildup, any metabolic waste that's in that tissue gets drawn into this space that's created and our body has a better time cleaning that up.   ABOUT DR TOM INGEGNO:  Dr. Tom Ingegno, DACM has over 22 years of experience in the integrative and functional medicine space.

The Web That Has No Weaver Appendix E THE SCIENTIFIC ENCOUNTER WITH EAST ASIAN MEDICINE: EFFICACY AND ADVERSE EVENTS -CLINICAL RESEARCH IN EAST ASIA -CLINICAL RESEARCH ON ACUPUNCTURE IN THE WEST Review of Systematic Reviews of Acupuncture RCTS

The Whole Pineapple welcomes back Dr. Lee Hullender Rubin, specialist in acupuncture and integrative East Asian Medicine, this time to talk about herbs and East Asian medicine in general. While acupuncture may be the most well-known, East Asian medicine incorporates many different modalities of treatment. So let's talk integrative medicine.  As Dr. Lee says, “integrative” means that many different treatments and providers come together to collaborate and support patients. In the US, we don't always reach this goal, as Western medicine has traditionally been less open to collaboration, but with more providers welcoming alternative therapies and more patients advocating for holistic wellness care, it's getting better! That said, because the herbal industry isn't regulated the same way prescription medication is, you'll want to be as informed as possible before you start adding things to your treatment plan. Some things to expect: Your provider will likely ask you to get your labs done before starting treatment. This is so they can understand how your body functions at baseline. You'll probably answer a lot of questions. Again, your provider needs to know a lot about you — sleep, stress, diet, goals, etc. — before designing your treatment plan. There will likely be continued tweaking of your plan. These formulae can be complicated, so it takes some time to get things just right. Then as your body and/or circumstances change, more tweaking may be necessary. You should keep your entire care team apprised of all the changes you're making and any new treatments (including herbs!) that are added or removed from your program.  There's so much to learn in this episode, and you may want to have some of this information handy when you talk with your care team, so be sure to bookmark or favorite the episode! And as always, please share with anyone else who could benefit.  Learn more about Dr. Lee and schedule an appointment at Rosefinch Health at rosefinchhealth.com Learn more and hear more from The Whole Pineapple at thewholepineapple.com.

Are you a new parent AND graduate? Trying to pass your boards in your last trimester and start a practice with a newborn?In this episode I talk with Megan Neal as she navigates these GIANT life transitions and how she is SO ready to practice medicine! As I see it, there is rarely a perfect time for anything. When is the perfect time to go to medical school? What about starting a family? When should you start working on your Doctoral degree? Or maybe it's time to start taking better care of yourself. What I have learned is that life just keeps getting fuller and fuller as you age. If there is a space in my closet I will fill it. If there is free time in my schedule, I will find ways of putting “more doing” in there. What ever happened to slowly and gently building something of value? Of mindfully constructing the life we were born worthy of? Of gently inviting the blissful whispers of our dreams to slowly unfurl in our waking life.Our fears of not having enough, not being enough and not doing enough cause us to race into jobs, relationships and life in ways that only cause congestion in our otherwise smooth and clear life path.Our medicine is what I like to call slow medicine. It works best when we slow our lives down and focus only on the patient in front of us. It works best when the patient relaxes their grip on the speeding train of life for one hour of slow breathing, genuine care gently shifting the scales of life force back in their favor.I want to invite you to consider practicing slow medicine. For yourself and your patients.Today's GuestMEGAN NEAL LAC.Megan Neal dedicated her life to the study of Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine after transformational experiences with it in her late twenties. At the same time in her life, she encountered yoga, Ashtanga yoga and then Integral Yoga, and has been walking the path ever since. Today Megan is an Arizona state licensed Acupuncturist, board certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, NCCAOM, expected November 2022. She is also Arizona state certified by the Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, CCAOM, in Clean Needle Technique. Upon graduating from her three year masters program, her and her husband had a beautiful baby boy. She was fortunate to use what she had learned to care for herself in the journey to motherhood. She was thus inspired to specialize in women's health- fertility, pregnancy, perinatal and postpartum care. She has no spare time but if she did, she imagines she would again enjoy writing morning pages, finding hidden pools on Mt. Lemmon, playing the harmonium, five rhythms dance, and continuing to nerd out with her collection of Chinese Medicine books.

Tuning in is a cultivated skill that's in many East Asian Medicine practitioner's toolbox. We learn early on to bring our intention, attention, and awareness to the clinic encounter. To pick up subtle movement and cues on the diagnostic table.  But our "tuning in" often tends to focus on "outside facing" senses; the appearance, smell, sound, taste, or feel of something. Interoception turns the gaze to internal sensing—from the clenching of the stomach, to the beating of the heart, or tension in the muscles. It's tuning in to what is going on inside the body. Nurturing interoceptive awareness and honing a heightened bodily awareness helps us and our patients in our clinical work. It improves our capacity to understand, interpret, and process the world around us. In this panel discussion with Lisa Taylor Swanson, Elizabeth Osgood-Campbell, and Nick Lowe, we explore interoceptive awareness. We unpack how mindfulness practices can help us cultivate our inner knowing and how ancient Chinese theories factor into all this. We also touch on the use of cutting-edge technologies to track our clinical outcomes and how placebo is merely stuff we don't yet understand about medicine. Listen into this discussion on making meaning of our inner sensations and leaning on this to improve our embodied experiences and clinical outcomes.

To most, acupuncture is a curious riddle. An ancient medical art whose theories are poetic, and healing outcomes seem lopsided considering the gentle stimulation of a thin needle. And regardless of context or complaint, the goal remains the same as it was millennia ago: restoring balance to the whole being. While our medicine has gained significant traction poking its way into the mainstream healthcare landscape, the journey has been non-linear and, at times, haphazard. But from our conversation with this episode's guest, perhaps trust and mutual respect are the catalysts to bridge the still-existent gap and facilitate the confluence of ancient medicine with modern culture. In this conversation with Jenny Nieters, we discuss her clinical work as the team acupuncturist for the San Francisco 49ers, the place of East Asian Medicine in sports medicine, and her personal experience enhancing physical performance for both elite professionals and active patients looking to maintain their strength and mobility. We also touch on the need for soft skills as a practitioner, including simplifying and communicating the 'magic' of acupuncture, being present, inviting mutual respect, and creating space for trust. Listen into this discussion on acupuncture in sports medicine, the experience, the challenges, and the opportunities it holds.

One of the members of our GNT community has had a personal loss so just in recognition of that, and as moral support, we wanted to do a special episode on dealing with loss.  We had done some things on this before, but it is a deep subject and is always worth taking a revisit and in this particular conversation we look at grief specifically from the perspective of a Chinese Medical practitioner.  Its is definitely an interesting conversation whether you are familiar with subject matter or not... We try and keep a wide angle on our lens in regards to our audience's familiarity with these more specialized topics.   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gintantra/message

Everything is energy. Within our bodies and without, energy makes up everyone and everything. Being able to work with moving, balancing, and unblocking energy is imperative to health, wellbeing, functioning, and Life itself. This is precisely what the wonderful Dr. Davina has created a career around; focusing on the balancing and unblocking of energies. The Yin and the Yang. The expansion and contraction that is Life force. Dr. Davina is an acupuncturist, herbalist, body worker, Qigong practitioner and tai chi instructor who found her way to being a healer due to her own pain and challenges in life. On this episode, we get into a broad range of fabulous topics including how blocked energy is the source of all that ails us, the unsustainable nature of the pure Masculine, exposure to Black Magic, and coming out as our true, authentic, expressive selves. Dr. Davina became interested in acupuncture after her own struggle with chronic pain, when it helped her go from 3-5 severe migraines a week, to a few mild headaches a month. She graduated top of her class from Five Branches University with a Doctor of Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine specializing in pain, women's health and fertility. Additionally, she has studied martial arts for nearly 20 years, training in tai chi with a master in China, and qigong with a master in Malaysia. From her own experience, she emphasizes the connection between mind and body, and empowers patients to take charge of their own health. She's also a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, and provides a safe and welcoming space for everyone.

This week we're talking all about marketing budgets for your acupuncture practice. A few weeks ago, I gave a guest lecture at the Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine all about digital marketing. After the class, one of the students asked a fantastic question: “What is your average monthly marketing budget?” And my really quick answer to that student was that I try not to spend too much money on marketing in terms of advertising. I really prefer organic marketing and the long-term marketing approaches that tend to be free but take more time and effort. Basically, I made it sound like I don't spend any money on marketing.
