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. Underneath lies a worldview that all living things are connected and that everything has its own course and cycle. This perspective brings a holistic approach to health and medicine, recognizing that changes in one part of the body or the external environment can cause seemingly unrelated symptoms. Dr. Rabinowitz has been in clinical practice for over 25 years, is a professor at Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts in Asheville, NC and a lecturer at Georgetown University School of Medicine's Integrative Medicine Program in Washington, DC. He's the former Director of Chinese Herbal Medicine at the Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH), where he helped create the University's Masters and Doctorate programs in East Asian Medicine during his eight-year tenure. He also taught and supervised Chinese herbal medicine at the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture in Gainesville, FL. He is a graduate of the George Washington University (B.A.), Traditional Acupuncture Institute (M.Ac.) and Maryland University of Integrative Health (D.Ac.). Dr. Rabinowitz maintains an active teaching schedule, offering continuing education for practitioners online and in-person across the US and internationally.Dr. Rabinowitz's goal is to see each person as unique and whole, and offer to them individualized, compassionate care for both chronic and acute pain. He has specialty training in gynecology seeing a broad range conditions throughout the lifecycle, including painful or irregular periods, fibroids and cysts (including PCOS), endometriosis and menopause related issues. In this episode, Dr. Rabinowitz discusses:The history and definition of acupunctureEastern medicine's approach to and treatment options for menopauseUnderstanding menopause from a holistic, empowering perspectiveFinding and receiving individualized treatment by a qualified, licensed practitionerDr. Rabinowitz also shares an empowering perspective for women: since puberty, our bodies have been working to sustain and bring new life. With menopause, our body's energies and systems shift to sustain and nourish just our own life. This is an important and significant time for a woman, and there's a unique power that comes with it.Tune in to this enlightening episode to gain a deeper understanding of acupuncture and how Eastern medicine offers a holistic, empowering approach to managing menopause and overall health.Connect with Dr. Evan M.

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.

Dr. Emilie Clasgens Wilson got her Naturopathic Doctorate and Master's Degree in Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine in Seattle, WA. Her professional career includes specialties in mental health, psycho-neuro-endocrinology, and helping women lose weight and balance their hormones naturally. She's fascinated by the intersection of science and spirituality, and splits time researching the latest scientific reports, meditating and catching up on Abraham Hicks and Dr. Joe Dispenza's work. A difficult and life-threatening childbirth, followed by a challenging postpartum period particularly with postpartum depression, lit a fire inside her to serve postpartum women during this intensely beautiful and vulnerable time in our lives. When she's not writing, teaching, or working with patients, she's found in the kitchen cooking and sipping wine with friends and family, on a long walk to the farmer's market with her daughter, or watching something ridiculous and funny for the eighty-fifth thousandth time. She lives in Prescott Arizona, but her heart is in Santa Fe.

For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/dr-tom-ingegno Highlights from today's episode include: Dr. Tom Ingegno 11:37 It's the idea that we invest in staying healthy, right. You know, some people get it, right. I don't eat this, or I, you know, this is my diet, or I go to the gym regularly, but they're still missing pieces Dr. Tom Ingegno 20:13 the idea is we're treating the body almost like we're creating an artificial pump, right? 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.

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.

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.
Checkout this great conversation with Kath Berry BHSc, MSc, an acupuncture educator with over 25 years of clinical experience and co-author of an upcoming (18th October 2022) JCM publication “Menopause: A Comprehensive Guide for Practitioners”. Kath is an advocate of women's rights and she empowers women to reach their full potential. Together we unpick some of the complexities of Traditional Chinese and East Asian Medicine and reveal how these approaches can smooth our way through Menopause. Kath is a font of knowledge and great fun to chat with. She has a knack of making the complicated simple and has done us a great service by bringing this extensive body of work together in one place. A must for any clinician's toolkit. I was thrilled to hear her endorsement of my work sharing Movement to Maximise Midlife and Make Menopause Better.

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.

Welcome to Beauty as a Birthright — a podcast where we decode the evolving concept of beauty from a multidimensional lens. In this space, we embark on a journey with engaging guests from all walks of life to figure out — if beauty is a birthright… Then what's our legacy? We're your hosts, Dr. Tamsin Lee of Elemental Archetypes and Dr. Paige Yang of Yang Face. We're two doctors of East Asian Medicine in the beauty wellness field but we are far from being "beauty experts". Beauty is a social construction, and we're two people trying to unravel the elusive, and sometimes messy, concept of "beauty". We're on a personal journey to decode beauty culture from a multidimensional lens, and to learn from our guests — If beauty is a birthright, then what is our legacy? Each month, we interview guests from all walks of life to understand how they define beauty, and a follow-up episode reflecting on what we learned. Join us on our first episode where we talk about what "beauty as a birthright" means, and why we started this podcast. We're on this journey with you!

Carolyn Barron is so much more than a healer, she's a life changer. Founder of Botanarchy, Carolyn practices traditional East Asian Medicine and Acupuncture on her patients at her Los Angeles based Acu-Temple. In this episode of the Budding Mind Podcast we download dozens of golden nuggets from Carolyn about the foundational principles of acupuncture, how it works, why alternative medicines are a foil to the patriarchal medical systems in place today, and what the cycles of nature have to teach us about our own internal systems. And not only is Carolyn a physician, but a wildly gifted writer. Her bardic prose comes from her yearning to inspire people to understand, and return to relationship with their bodies through natural methodologies.

Tyler Rowe is not only an acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist but an expert on Wu Yun Liu Qi. He's got a great sense of humor and is incredibly down to earth.

How do different cultures tell when seasons change and what should we do in response to this to lessen the chance of getting sick from the environment (Cold and flu like illness). This advice is super relevant for students of CM, patients of acupuncturists /CM and even practitioners themselves who are looking for relevant ways to interpret the Nei Jing and the seasonal advice. It was my absolute pleasure to record this interview and I hope you find this wisdom as useful as I do, for yourself and your family/ community.

TW: eating disorder cycles, bullying, queer shame, the holocaust, rapeWhen I was thinking about how I wanted to start this season, I knew I couldn't get into any conversation and bring anyone on before speaking to the deepest thread of my personal life these last few months and since the end of season 5.

Did you know that although I received my Masters Degree in Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine back in 2007, I never received a Bachelor's Degree? This academic path is actually quite common around the world, but definitely less so here in the states. And, of course, I happened to settle down in New Jersey, the one state in the entire country that doesn't allow you to become licensed in or practice acupuncture without a Bachelor's degree in addition to a Masters. Fast forward to this summer: I am now going backwards at age 39 to receive a Bachelor's Degree in Biobehavioral Health at Penn State's World Campus. I am loving the opportunity to throw myself back into academics and to establish connections between my background in Eastern Medicine and the concepts we've explored so far in my new courses. Tune into this week's #straightfromcait episode to learn more about my journey back into higher education as an adult. Learn about the overlaps between Biobehavioral Health and Eastern medicine, why science always has its shortcomings, and why it's never too late to dive back into the world of academia. If you have any questions you want answered about burnout and the science behind it, feel free to share your thoughts in our FRIED. Facebook Group. In the coming weeks, I'll be sharing research articles and other relevant sources on my #straightfromcait episodes, plus I'm always on the lookout for a good research paper topic! Quotes • “So, I decided at the age of 39 that I'm going to go backwards and get a degree that is lesser than the one I have to be able to practice a medicine that I've been at for a decade and a half. I told you, it's a little convoluted, but here we are.” (3:00-3:20) • “Biobehavioral health is like the Western version of Eastern medicine. It's the Western medicine's ideal of creating a more holistic system.” (4:16-4:26) • “I both love science and remain a science skeptic….Science is incomplete and will always be – that's part of its definition. It's a beautiful, powerful thing that we have to remember is here to help us explore and to learn and then to continue exploring and learning. Everything we learn is simply another step to getting another step to getting another step to allow us to go deeper or broader or connect things that weren't connected before.” (5:40-6:11) • “I didn't add a full-time degree to my life and not eliminate anything else. I had to eliminate something in order to maintain my sanity and be sure that I'm not burning out while I'm researching burnout and talking to you about burnout.” (8:08-8:22) Links Penn State Biobehavioral Health Bachelor's Degree: https://www.worldcampus.psu.edu/degrees-and-certificates/penn-state-online-biobehavioral-health-bachelors-degree/ FRIED.

And my first question is, how did you get hooked up with Emily and continuum? 01:59Thank you so much, Sam. It's great to be here. So I came to continuum as a teenager, I was living in Montreal at the time, and I was really ill, I was struggling with the effects of a genetic condition which Western medicine had pretty much no course of action for. And I was at a place where I was really facing my own mortality. And I had come from a background of gymnastics and acrobatics, and circus art. So I was someone who was very physically oriented and identified, and what that that that part of me my body was sort of disintegrating. And so I was looking for some way to engage my self, my body into move, that would feel good and supportive, as opposed to draining and straining, and painful. And so through that I kind of haphazardly through the recommendation of a choreographer friend, was recommended to continue on. And so I started practicing it there with an amazing teacher, Linda, Raven, and Montreal. And it sort of became my lifeline. It was like the one thing that made sense to me, it was the one thing that felt good in my body that that reduced my pain levels that made me feel a sense of vibrancy or aliv...

We both studied with Emily Conrad, and I'm going to ask her to speak about Emily in a minute. So, Emma, I want to bring you on. And I want to thank you for joining us. And my first question is, how did you get hooked up with Emily and continuum? 01:59Thank you so much, Sam. It's great to be here. So I came to continuum as a teenager, I was living in Montreal at the time, and I was really ill, I was struggling with the effects of a genetic condition which Western medicine had pretty much no course of action for. And I was at a place where I was really facing my own mortality. And I had come from a background of gymnastics and acrobatics, and circus art. So I was someone who was very physically oriented and identified, and what that that that part of me my body was sort of disintegrating. And so I was looking for some way to engage my self, my body into move, that would feel good and supportive, as opposed to draining and straining, and painful. And so through that I kind of haphazardly through the recommendation of a choreographer friend, was recommended to continue on. And so I started practicing it there with an amazing teacher, Linda, Raven, and Montreal. And it sort of became my lifeline. It was like the one thing that made sense to me, it was the one thing that felt good in my body that that reduced my pain levels that made me feel a sense of vibrancy o...

In this episode we talk to James Flower, practitioner of Chinese Medicine, Research Fellow at Kyung Hee University and PhD from Johns Hopkins University, about his journey that has taken him from Australia to live in Korea, China and the USA. We discuss in depth the practice of traditional East Asian medicine in Korea, touching on why integrative medicine is rarely seen there and why Shen 神 (Spirit) is such an important factor in health and healing. We also delve into how Korea dealt with the Covid pandemic, the influence of Korea on the development of Japanese Kampo medicine and some misunderstandings of Confucianism and its relationship to East Asian medical traditions.
This episode is a little different from the previous ones in that I'm talking with an acupuncturist rather than a Veterinarian. Eric Grey is a good friend who is an experienced Classical Chinese Medicine practitioner. In addition to the things we talk about on the podcast, Eric has lectured to veterinarians both at the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association Conference as well as the Midwest Veterinary Conference. When I started practicing holistic veterinary medicine and learning different modalities, I saw that the culture was for practitioners to learn a multitude of modalities to have a full range of things to offer a patient. At least in my case, it sometimes seems like a juggling act to balance keeping current in multiple modalities so that I can offer my patients the best care possible. Eric's recent decision to limit his practice was intriguing to me, so I was able to arrange for us to talk about that decision in the context of his professional life to date. Eric Grey, MSOM is an Acupuncturist in Astoria, Oregon. He has a BS in both Biology and Philosophy from Oregon State University. He got his MSOM from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon in 2009. He and his wife and business partner Amanda Barp founded the Watershed Wellness Clinic in the Ladd's Addition neighborhood of Portland, Oregon in 2009. Eric also served as Adjunct Faculty at NUNM. He continued his studies including an herbal discipleship and clinical training with Heiner Fruehof, PhD and is a Diplomat of Canonical Chinese Medicine from the Institute of Classics in East Asian Medicine. While still a student at NUNM, Eric founded the website Deepest Health, which started as a blog about his experiences as a Classical Chinese Medicine student, but now has evolved into not only a blog about his experiences as a practice owner, but also an Educational Center offering short online courses in topics related to Classical Chinese Medicine and the business of acupuncture. After building Watershed Wellness to include multiple practitioners, Eric and Amanda decided to relocate to Astoria, Oregon in 2016. They started Watershed Wellness Astoria while continuing to commute to Portland part-time to practice. In 2018 they closed the doors in Portland and have devoted their energy to Astoria full-time. Join me for this conversation with Eric as we talk about founding two clinics, running an online business, and the thought process behind his most recent decision to stop practicing acupuncture in order to limit his practice to herbal medicine.

Content Warning: This episode covers assault, loss, and trauma. There are experiences throughout our life that can cause us to want to remove ourselves from our bodies. Experiences that make it feel as if inhabiting our own bodies is not safe- making us get accustomed to living outside of ourselves. In today’s episode, Sharon sits down with acupuncturist and wellness specialist Drea Miller as they discuss: How to recognize that you are not connected with your own body and what that means. How your body can bring attention to past traumas that have not been dealt with in healthy ways (if at all)- and how that information can be used to understand the disconnect within yourself to begin the journey towards feeling safe and connected to your body again. The use of psychedelics for various therapeutic purposes to help unwind parts of the brain that make us feel disconnected and the extensive research being completed on that subject.

Join us for an interview with Wheels Darling where we discuss her path towards becoming an acupuncturist, herbalist, and health educator with an anti-oppression analysis. Topics we cover include: Mutual aid as medicine Coming of age as full-time activist Possibility magic as a tool and anti-oppression lens Becoming a healer and educator Choosing to pursue an advanced degree/medical license Dynamic transformation, sacred openings, nervous system repatterning, cognitive reframing, and the magic of dreaming and thinking bigger Being a healthcare worker during COVID Connecting to ancestral earth-based spirituality Cultural appropriation in spirituality and medicine About Wheels: Wheels Darling is a queer acupuncturist, herbalist, body worker, healer, educator, witch, and collaborator of educational projects. They are based in the place currently called Portland, Oregon. Wheels is particularly excited to work in the places that are in between, the liminal spaces between what was, what is, and what could be. She uses this imaginal vantage to dream up educational programs, treatment plans for her patients, health equity plans of action, intimacies with her family, friends, lovers, communities, the larger world of humans, and all that is other than human. Wheels' specialty is that she is a generalist. She's studied literature, political economy, herbalism, East Asian Medicine, queer and feminist theories, revolutionary and radical movements, ways of honoring each of the beings of this planet, histories and stories of those not represented in normative history books, magic, euro-pagan-earth-based spirituality, somatic healing, creative writing, and many other forms of Liberation Studies.

In this episode Jason Robertson joins Nyssa Tang for a discussion of how an initial exposure to Dr. Wang Juyi began a process which slowly changed an understanding of the practice of acupuncture. Applied Channel Theory is an approach to East Asian Medicine which can be readily integrated with other approaches to practice. The key is to develop strategies for using six channel theory and palpation in diagnosis to compare and contrast other currents of thinking. Nyssa and Jason begin by discussing their earliest exposure to Dr. Wang.
Welcome Back to the Queer Circle Podcast, where USUALLY, Queer healers come to the mic to share their journey and what they'd tell their younger selves. Today, we're going to do something a little different. In this podcast, we focus on the circle and what is contained by it. Within the Circle we explore the lived experience of Queerness. But there's something outside that circle that I wanted to take an episode to talk about. For those who are outside the circle who are wondering what they can do to support Black Trans Queer marginalzed lives, we are highlighting Allyship in action as a possibility model. I'm happy to invite both personal friends Kaylie and Kelly here today to talk about their allyship through the non-profit Inclusively Well and what allyship looks like in real actionable ways. Inclusively Well is a non-profit sponsorship program, currently in Los Angeles, that pairs underserved populations with 6 free acupuncture sessions with practitioners with anti-racist, anti-queerphobia training. Kaylie, the founder, is joined by board members: Kelly, a Black Queer Woman (and guest of the podcast) and Sanae, a Japanese-American Woman. Their goal is to not only expand the accessibility of East Asian Medicine, but to also bring into Allyship other practitioners in the field. Visit Queercirclepocast.com to learn more.

How should we view Chinese Medicine as Christians? Is it a faith based medical practice? What are the origins of the modalities and what do they entail? Cynthia speaks with Fr. Konstantine Eleftherakis today to answer your questions about this ancient method of healing. They talk about the true definition of “energy”, where to draw the line with some practices, and how to find someone who can help without getting into anything “weird!” Rev. Fr. Konstantine Eleftherakis has served for over 15 years as an Orthodox Priest in the Greek Archdiocese of America. He is the current Prioistamenos of Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Scranton, PA, where he has served for over ten years. He and his wife of 20 years, Presbytera Maria, are the parents of seven children ranging from the ages of 18 – 10 months. Fr. Konstantine is a Pennsylvania licensed and national board certified Practitioner of East Asian Medicine. His main interest lies in the use of classical Chinese herbal formulas in the treating of chronic illnesses, as well as the study of classical texts for modern medical use. ATHOS Wellness (Acupuncture & Therapeutic Herbology Of Scranton), Fr. Konstantine’s budding Chinese Medicine practice, serves to assist in the continued physical, emotional, and spiritual health of the local community in North East Pennsylvania, along with continuing to serve the needs of the local Orthodox Christian faithful of Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church.

The Chinese say 活到老學到老 hou dao lao, xue dao lao, which can be translated as “continue learning for as long as you live.” It’s good advice, and when it comes to the practice of medicine, it’s essential. Our work gives us an endless opportunity to learn and deepen our understanding. In this conversation with Kathy Taromina, Craig Mitchell and Dan Bensky we discuss what they have been learning about using Chinese herbal medicine in responding to the symptoms of Covid-19, as they carry out a study that is being done at the Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine. Doctors of the past have left us a treasure trove of ideas and clinical strategies for treating epidemic illness and all of these methods are coming into play in our modern world, as we learn more about how the Coronavirus affects different people. Listen into this conversation on how experienced herbalists are learning from the wide range of presentations that are showing up in the clinic. And how you can access the information that is being collected from this study for your own learning and use in the treatment of infectious illness.

The scientific method is useful. It helps us to better understand the world by screening out our biases, beliefs and wishful thinking. The process of crafting a good hypothesis begins not with a great question, but first the more yin process of observation. Seeing what is present, and from there we can begin to distill out questions worth asking. Much of traditional research is not that helpful in understanding Chinese medicine, as our medicine does not lend itself to the binary world of double blind studies. Our medicine requires research methodologies that can handle emergent dynamic systems. And lucky for us, those models exist and one of the researchers who is keen on these models also happens to be a Chinese medicine practitioner. In this special podcast episode researchers Lisa Taylor-Swanson and Lisa Conboy share with us the design of a study that is currently being carried at the Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine on the treatment of symptoms that may be related to Covid19 disease using Chinese Herbal Medicine. This study is geared toward collecting data that will help to guide further research. It’s a study that considers Chinese medicine on its own terms. And this study’s design principles are not unlike the principles of our medicine.

It's a really beautiful herb. The Native Americans used to call it bear medicine. And it's extremely powerful and unique. And that's one of those herbs which I have always in my clinic. And I always have people have that around the house during the cold and flu season.”—Craig Williams, LAc In light of all the concern over COVID-19, we wanted to speak with Craig Williams, a licensed acupuncturist and practitioner of East Asian Medicine, to explore the many foods and herbs that he recommends for building immunity. It’s our hope that we can help more people feel empowered to protect their health during this pandemic. Craig is a Clinical Herbalist (R.H.) with the American Herbalist Guild, a NAMA Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, and an East West Certified Herbalist ( E.W.C.H.). Craig has a Master’s of Science in Oriental Medicine and is a Nationally Certified Instructor of Wing Chun Kung Fu. Craig is also an ACE Certified Health Coach, Certified Eat to Perform Coach, Certified Revolution Running Coach, ACE Certified Sports Conditioning Coach, AFPA Certified Holistic Nutritionist and a NASM Certified Nutrition Coach. Craig's Top 10 Foods and Herbs For Immunity Discussed in this Podcast: Walnuts Sunflower seeds Pumpkin seeds Fresh garlic Raw onions Ginger Osha Root (Tie Da Yin Chen) Astragalus (Huang Qi) Skullcap root (Huang Qin) Cordyceps (and other medicinal mushrooms) And if you listen closely, you'll catch mention of a few additional foods and herbs that are great for the immune system! Show Notes: 0:40 An introduction on Craig Williams and how his most recent column in Acupuncture Today addressed winter nutrition. 2:50 Walnuts are considered a lung and kidney tonic in Chinese medicine and provide a wonderful source of essential fatty acids. 6:58 Sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds are a good source of zinc, which are a great immunity booster and also important for prostate health. 9:17 Fresh garlic is one of Craig’s favorite herbs for all-around health. 12:44 Raw onions also provide substantial immune boosting and lung support benefits. 13:44 Ginger is one of those herbs that Craig always keeps on hand for addressing all types of conditions. 17:00 Osha Root (Tie Da Yin Chen) is phenomenal for respiratory support. 21:55 Astragalus (Huang Qi) is a great herb to support the immune system during the cold and flu season. 26:00 Skullcap Root (Huang Qin) is typically used to clear out damp heat conditions. 28:30 Medicinal mushrooms like Cordyceps provide lung support and help maintain a healthy immune system. Great in combination with Astragalus. 31:05 Many people are nutrient depleted and dealing with chronic illness. If you keep your immune system healthy, you will bounce back from sickness more easily. 35:00 A discussion on Wen Bing diseases and why prescribing heat-clearing herbs are helpful. 40:50 In the earlier stages of disease, the Chinese Medicine treatment protocol can be more generic, but in the advanced stages, the treatment becomes more unique to the individual. [Important Note to readers/listeners: More recent findings show that COVID-19 may evolve from a warm disease into a cold-damp phase in which Shanghan Lun principles should then be applied instead of continuing Wen Bing principles. A discussion on this this two-pronged approach is discussed in our blog post Chinese Herbs to Maintain Healthy Immune System During Cold-Damp Phase of Corona Virus (COVID-19).] 43:50 Craig’s top three recommendations for staying healthy: 1. eat warm foods and lots of vegetables, 2. make sleep a priority and 3. find some exercise or movement that you love. 47:40 How listeners can get in touch with Craig for more great tips.

We know that the language and perspective of Chinese and east Asian medicine gives us a whole different glimpse into physiology, health, illness and healing. And if you’ve learned a foreign tongue, then you’ve had experience how language shapes thought, perspective and possibility. The systems or currents of medicine we practice, that too gives a framework, a perspective, that helps us to orient and make sense of a patient’s experience and then how we might be able to help them. For many cultures, dreams are a powerful kind of sensing that speak with a language of their own and can carry important information from our subconscious up into that sliver of awareness that we usually give credit to for running the show. But dreams have their own way of holding and conveying information, and our rational mind is not particularly well suited to that particular non-verbal language. So how do we learn to tune our ears and sensing to the fluidic symbolic language of dreams? It is doable and there are some surprising possibilities that arise with the right kind of inquiry. Listen in as we sit down for a discussion on dreaming and East Asian medicine.

Forty five years is a long time to have a practice. Especially when you consider that the average American marriage isn't even half that number, and in this day and age people change jobs like they change their hair style. How do you stay interested in something for decades? How do you change with the times? Work through the areas that you don't yet know, and let the practice itself give you insight into how you work? If you've read more than a few books on Chinese medicine, the fingerprints of Dan Bensky has certainly been on at least one of them. In addition to his medicine practice, he's been involved in both the translation and editing of books on Chinese medicine since 1981. He has taught and lectured widely over the years. And is one of the founders of the Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine. In this episode I sit down for a conversation with Dan with an eye toward the long arc of practice and how while our work centers on patient care, it involves a whole lot more.

In this lively episode, Brent Garcia and I talk about toxic comparison, reintroducing presence, how society is not set up for men being vulnerable, reclaiming vulnerability as a man, the experience of admitting pain and asking for help, the courage to see your own shame, how he changed his entire life in his forties, the dance of the healer and inner healer in clients/patients, and Western Medicine and Traditional Eastern Medicine working in Tandem! Brent is an elite body mechanic. He came to Traditional East Asian Medicine and bodywork because he needed relief from an old Achilles tendon injury. After receiving acupuncture and massage treatments, Brent was able to function at a much higher level than he had for the previous 10 years. This motivated him to study traditional East Asian healing arts including acupuncture, herbal medicine, Asian bodywork and Tai Chi, as well as Reiki. In 2015, Brent graduated from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in Chicago with a Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine (MSTOM). He received his massage training from Pacific College as well. Now, as licensed practitioner, he continues to study anything that will help him be a better, more effective healer for his clients. Combining traditional and modern systems of East Asian Medicine with bodywork and trigger point therapy, Brent provides custom treatments to eliminate pain and cultivate well-being in his patients. He maintains a private practice in Chicago, Illinois. Links, Article, and Resources All Show Notes for This Episode
Research can be a problematic area for practitioners of East Asian medicine. While many acupuncturists are keen to share research with patients that paints acupuncture in a positive light, especially for marketing purposes, there are not many of us that are generating that research. And there is the issue of double-blind studies, which are the gold standard in conventional medical research, but difficult to apply to East Asian medicine, as the practitioner is an integral part of the treatment. This episode is a conversation with a full on Western style Ph.D. researcher who also is a dedicated practitioner of East Asian medicine. She has some unique views on how to apply research methods to our particular methods. Students of doctorate programs will find this episode especially helpful, as it will give you tools and perspectives to engage researching your area of interest and contributing to our profession.

East Asian & Functional Medicine ConnectionsDr. Laura D Varga, DAOM. Chapel Hill, NC. She lived on both the East and West Coasts. She worked in research at UPENN and UCSD, holds a top US degree in East Asian Medicine [EAM], DAOM [Doctorate Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine] from Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. She's worked with patients since 2010. After five years practicing on my own in East Asian and then adding functional medicine, she is best at seeing the big picture - combining the holistic view of East Asian Medicine with my research background. "I love and am in awe of nature - hiking with my dogs, sailing, swimming in the ocean. I cannot believe it took me five years to see the big picture. I have learned a lot from your guests on CBJ and wanted to give back. In East Asian Medicine mental/emotional health is inextricably linked to physical health." A Personal Note From Laura"Feeling sick and tired? I know what that is like! Throughout my life, I have had varying illnesses on the autoimmune spectrum that required me to reach beyond conventional, reductionistic medicine into the world of holistic medicine to heal. From the age of 6 to 25, I had severe allergies and asthma with debilitating bronchitis each Fall. I used pharmaceuticals to mitigate my symptoms and despite seeing several allergists, eating well and exercising I did not heal. Fortunately, I was later able to recover with the help of an East Asian Medicine physician. I have had other conditions caused by excess inflammation. I know what it is like to have chronic and acute pain and wake up day after day feeling exhausted and achy - sort of like you have mild flu. Before earning my clinical doctorate at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, I felt adrift and alone in my healthcare. My different practitioners didn't communicate with each other and some told me that the way the other practitioner was diagnosing and treating me was useless, detrimental or wrong. I was scared because I didn't know what to do. Tests would come back normal. I was lost." The Outdated Bifurcation of Medical Practice - Operational Connections Matter"Everything I read on supplements seemed confusing and overwhelming (this was despite graduating with honors from an Ivy League school - the University of Pennsylvania and working for years in clinical research!). I tried several different diets, with variable, unpredictable outcomes. Then finally, after studying East Asian Medicine and later Functional Medicine, ah-hah, now I have the combined, comprehensive tools to see how my biomedical vulnerabilities are all connected and treat them!" *Photo by Parker: Virginia Museum of Fine Arts - https://www.vmfa.museum/exhibitions/exhibitions/terracotta-army-legacy-first-emperor-china/ (The Terracotta Army Exhibition 3-18) --------------Website & East Asian Relevant Medical ReferencesWebsite down: Connection here - https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-d-varga-daom-0ab30843/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-d-varga-daom-0ab30843/) Rosenthal, E, 2017, http://geni.us/rosenthal (An American Sickness,) Penguin Press, New York, Global Amazon Link Judy Hoy, Nancy Swanson, and http://corebrainjournal.com/134 (Stephanie Seneff.)

Michael Niss, California Board Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist. Director at Universal Family Wellness Clinic. East Asian Medicine (AKA Chinese Medicine): Acupuncture is growing in popularity in Western society—many insurance plans are even covering the treatments. While acupuncture is becoming more and more a part of our common vocabulary around health and wellness, I wondered how many people actually knew just what it was? It's just one facet of Traditional East Asian Medicine which combines needles, bodywork, nutrition, and herbs to treat an individual as a whole. Taking it one step further, East Asian Medicine is a lifestyle and practice. The study of Chinese Medicine is rigorous and vast. Therefore, many practitioners go on to specialize in one area or another, but it is most beneficial ( as far as I'm concerned) to have a full treatment and learn from your practitioner the different ways you can practice this 3,000 year old tradition outside of the office in a well-rounded way. I am an amazing acupuncture salesperson. Because I hate it. And I go. Twice a month, almost without fail, you will find me chock full of needless and totally uncomfortable. The thing is... it works. (For me. You know how I believe each individual is different and what works for me might not work for you, but it really works for me.) I don't know why, and it doesn't matter. The fact is that I walk away from a treatment consisting of needles, cupping, and massage feeling a whole lot better than when I walked in. Tell me your experience below :) Michael Niss Michael Niss is a California Board Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist practicing in Los Angeles. He is director at Universal Family Wellness Clinic with his wife Brooke Niss. On the recommendation of a friend, The Universal Family Wellness Clinic was the first place I went four years ago, toting my invasion of rashes and begging for a solution. After a little investigation in the midst of multiple clients coming in and out of the clinic, Michael was kind enough to treat me with herbs and suggest I email him if the rashes didn't get better within two days. They didn't get better, and he was prompt in his suggestion to see a doctor. Something I love about Michael Niss and practitioners like him is the humble ability to say, "I don't know, but here's who you should see," or "I don't know, let me look into it further." Something else I am so grateful for is Michael and Brooke's dedication to keeping their services affordable for those in need. The Universal Family Wellness Clinic is a true gem, and I have consistently seen Michael Niss since finding out those rashes were, indeed, Lyme disease. I consider East Asian Medicine a top player in my recovery from Lyme. #justsaying Contact Michael directly and use my name as a referral: mike@universalfamilyclinic.com www.universalfamilyclinic.com Listen to This Episode if you are Especially Interested In: Acupuncture Cupping—contrary to popular belief, cupping is NOT toxins being pulled from your body Herbs East Asian Medicine Tinctures vs. powders vs. extracts The magic of honeysuckle Michael's herb suggestions for anti-microbial purposes, immune-enhancing purposes, and general happiness Tai Chi Michael's three suggestions for people with chronic illness or pain Pretty dope!

Sarah Tennent views the body as an integrated ecosystem just like the planet we live on. The biological communities within our organ systems are constantly interacting with one another and our environment in a dynamic process. Therefore, healing and restoring balance to such an intricate system requires a multifaceted approach on various levels of the body. This includes the physical, emotional, mental, energetic, intuitive and spiritual bodies. They all play their part in the multidimensional dance that weaves our human experience.
