Podcasts about tcm traditional chinese medicine

Welcome to the first of my mentorship series. where I have conversations with some of my most important mentors, allowing you to access some of the goodness and wisdom that I was so supported by on my journey. The first in this series is my teacher and friend Sabina Pettitt, who is the founder of Pacific Essences, a company here on the west coast of Vancouver Island that makes vibrational remedies. Many of us have heard of Rescue Remedy, which is the most commonly used flower remedy, but have perhaps not looked too much further into what it is and how it works. If you are curious about what a vibrational remedy is, how they work, and how they relate to horses, this is the episode for you! Sabina shares all about why she founded her company almost 40 years ago, how vibrational remedies work, why every being, including every horse, can benefit, and how she became the first person to make a sea essence. This is a true "teaching" episode, and I'm truly grateful that I met Sabina almost 20 years ago - she is a remarkable human and has dedicated her life and her work to supporting others. Hope you enjoy this chat and learn a thing or two!  Sabina Pettitt is the founder of Pacific Essences® and a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. As well as introducing the first sea essences in the world Sabina has spent over 40 years building a system based on TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) that explains how essences work to the prevailing allopathic model. Essences balance and harmonize our energy anatomy and energy physiology and promote optimal well- being. She is committed to assisting humans to understand their deep and constant connection with Mother Nature, the energy template of their human form and how to work with energies to stay healthy, and the possibility that each of us came here with “a mission” and that essences can assist us to discover and fulfill that mission.

Peter Mole is one of the UK's leading practitioners of acupuncture, the Dean at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, Reading and a founding member of the Executive Committee of the British Acupuncture Council. Peter's particular interest lies in how Chinese medicine understands how people's internal worlds - especially their emotions - affect their physical and psychological health. He states that “Western medicine is a great system yet it lacks an understanding of how stress and distress affect people's health. However, this is one of Chinese medicine's greatest strengths".  We discuss the role of constitution in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), the difference between prana & qi, diagnostic methods in acupuncture and how Peter connects to and tracks the flow of qi through the needle. We cover the vital role of the emotions in health, and his experience of physical versus psycho-emotional orientations to treatment. Peter shares his thoughts on the value of finding meaningful work and loving relationships and the importance of building resilience in mind, body and emotions. He contextualizes the term Spirit in Chinese, shares a little of his personal travels in India and the importance of living in harmony with nature and the Tao. Peter is the author of "Acupuncture for Body, Mind and Spirit", directed at patients and prospective students, and co-author of the major textbook "Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture". He has lectured extensively in Europe, Israel, and the USA. Peter received an M.A. in Modern History from Oxford University. He has been practising acupuncture since 1978.www.wolvercoteacupunctureclinic.co.ukLiked what you heard? Help us reach more people!

Today, I'm talking with Tanya Smith, a fellow TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) practitioner and ABORM fellow. I invited her on the podcast, because she is someone who I've really looked up to over the years. I met her when I did a summer student internship at her clinic, over 10 years ago and she has been a mentor, colleague, and friend ever since. I've even seen her for treatments over the years. Today, we talk a lot about fertility, grief, and movement through the process. We discuss expectations and body image. TCM vs conventional medical ways of looking at the body and the type of clinical experience you might have in either of these models. We talk about her own fertility journey as part of a same sex couple and the ebbs and flows of that experience. And she shares a WHOLE lot of wisdom and advice.

Brito Pateguana, ND I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a friend, but I am also a Naturopathic Doctor. This means that I look at patients, and health, from a holistic point of view. I don't see organs, I don't see illnesses, I see people. ​I graduated from The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (www.ccnm.edu) in 2004. I have a Degree in Honours Biology from McMaster University (2000). My interest has always been how to heal the human body. In search for my own wellness I discovered Naturopathic Medicine. We believe in the Healing Power of Nature; the body's ability to heal thyself. Our first and foremost Principle is "To Do No Harm", and I try to follow this to the best of my capacity at all times. With a strong science-based approach, CCNM's 4 year program includes TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and Acupuncture, Homeopathy, Nutrition, Counselling, and all the other Medical Sciences.  My focus has always been on Nutrition. Mostly, I use FOOD as my medicine! KEY QUOTE: “Most people can master fasting, it's the diet they have trouble with. Fasting and starving are not the same thing. When it's time to eat, EAT.” – Nadia C. Brito Pateguana, ND Here’s what Jimmy, Megan, and Dr. Pateguana talked about in Episode 13: FEEDBACK FROM A LISTENER: Hello Jimmy and Megan, I think I know why people say that women cannot fast. I used to be a woman who struggled with fasting but it was because I was making one major mistake that is more common among women and less common among men. Women are much more likely to under-eat by a significant amount of calories, then they overtrain in their workouts, and on top of that try to incorporate fasting into their health strategy. When you under-eat and also fast, the body thinks you are starving and I have heard Dr. Fung speak about this inducing starvation mode. Would you please underscore to your female listeners in particular that if you eat an adequate number of calories when you are feeding that fasting is not only fine but it can actually help to reset your circadian rhythm and other bodily functions? It has helped my body balance my hormones in a way that even nutritional ketosis could not on its own. I would love to start a women's fasting group on Facebook and I hope I can invite you all to join. Thanks again for this great podcast. Most sincerely, Airia (aka Keto Sister) WORLD’S 1ST REUSABLE BREATH KETONE ANALYZER NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship 1. Why did I get extreme nausea in the midst of my extended fast? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I’m a 56-year old woman who started fasting with a goal of lowering my blood sugar and losing weight. I just finished a 24-day water and black coffee fast and ended my goal of 30 days because of extreme nausea. By Day 8, I started to drag a bit and so I began drinking some homemade bone broth. But then I became nauseous from drinking the broth a couple of days later and ditched that. A few days after that the coffee I was drinking made me nauseous, too. By Day 15, I was only drinking water and pushed my way to Day 24 before ending it. Why did I have such extreme nausea while fasting? Thank you for helping me with this! Corinne KEY QUOTE: “Some people that have more damaged metabolism have a harder time getting into ketosis, and that can cause nausea. ” – Megan Ramos 2. Does fasting make the symptoms of the autoimmune disease Hashimoto’s better or worse? Hi Jimmy and Megan, From what I read about fasting, it seems to be a potential therapy for autoimmune conditions. But thyroid specialist and neurologist Dr. Datis Kharrazian says that one of the 10 mistakes that Hashimoto’s patients make is the following: “When blood sugar gets too low it raises the inflammatory messenger IL-6 and promotes autoimmune flare-ups. Symptoms of low blood sugar are most noticeable between meals or if you skip meals and include shakiness, blurred vision, crankiness and irritability, and loss of function. If you feel a jump in your function and energy after eating it confirms your blood sugar was low—when your blood sugar is stable the only thing you should feel after eating is not hungry. Constantly skipping breakfast and missing meals will aggravate your autoimmune response and promote autoimmune flare-ups.” I know Dr. Fung has said there is no impact to the thyroid when fasting. But do we know what impact fasting has on Hashimoto’s? It seems the autoimmune disease is made worse by fasting, not better. I am under the care of a functional medicine doctor and have adopted all of his proposed lifestyle changes to heal my Hashimoto’s. I tried a two-day fast and saw ketones rise to 7.7 mmol and blood glucose drop to 58 before I broke the fast. It was a water-only fast with sea salt and occasional bone broth. Two days later, I didn’t feel great and developed a sore throat with excessive sleeping. Did I have a flare up of my Hashimoto’s from fasting? Thanks, Maria 3. Does fasting lead to the development of the “keto rash?” Hi Jimmy and Megan, I have been in nutritional ketosis for over two years and have successfully trained for and ran in two marathons over the past year in a fasted state. I have read The Complete Guide To Fasting and have undertaken my first extended fast which lasted four days. During the fast I had a recurrence of what appears to be a so-called “keto rash” which I have had on and off since I've been eating ketogenic. I am wondering if Dr. Fung has seen this in his fasting and ketogenic patients and what could be causing this. Is this something to be concerned about when fasting?

What is the shortest fasting time for getting the autophagic benefits of fasting and do adding in nutrients negatively impact autophagy? Hey guys, I was afraid of dealing with hunger and stressful work situations at the same time if I fasted. But hearing Jimmy talk about drinking kombucha and bone broth during his fast was my "aha" moment! And I have now lost 14 pounds in 6 days doing intermittent fasting for 24 hour while enjoying coffee with cream and Perrier eating only one low-carb meal a day. But I am interested in getting the benefits of autophagy with my fasting. So I have a few questions about this: 1) What's the shortest fasting window to still trigger significant autophagy? 2) Do MCT oil, small amounts of heavy cream, coffee, bone both or sparkling water negatively impact autophagy? Thanks guys! Melodie 5. Is it advisable for someone who is not overweight to engage in a fast? Hi Jimmy and Megan, Fasting seems to be most helpful for obesity and diabetes control. But there are so many other benefits of fasting that are extremely crucial for all of us, not just those with weight and blood sugar issues. I am in the minority and feel like a minority because I am not overweight and I have pretty much have been the same weight forever. What kind of fasting if any would be advised for someone like me who is not dealing with excess weight but would like to get the other benefits of fasting such us immune system reset? It seems to me our ancestors, who were not overweight, were fasting without any major negative impact on their health. Is fasting just for overweight people? Thank you for all you do, Maria KEY QUOTE: “When you're losing fat from fasting, it's not that you've reduced calories, it's the fact that you've reduced insulin and the fat can be released.” – Jimmy Moore 6. Isn’t the half-pound of body fat you lose daily while fasting simply “calories out?” Hey Jimmy and Megan, Dr. Fung has thoroughly debunked the calories in, calories out model numerous times. But when he talks about the two compartment model, he notes that the fact that a pound of fat contains about 3500 calories of energy. So while fasting you can lose about half a pound of body fat a day. So my question to you is this: Wouldn’t that be considered "calories out?” If so, then is the “calories out” equation different from the “calories in” one?

Hey guys, I greatly enjoyed reading The Complete Guide to Fasting and I love this new podcast. My question for you guys is regarding the use of fiber while fasting. What is your opinion about taking fiber-based supplement powders that are devoid of any sugar or artificial sweeteners? I typically take a combination of different kinds of fibers like inulin, acacia, glucomannan, psyllium, and flax. I did not see this addressed in your book.

Ginseng's active compounds, referred to as ginsenosides, are known to restore qi (pronounced "chi") or energy levels and to support a calm, alert mind. Korean Ginseng has similar properties, of course the Koreans report that Korean Ginseng is more potent than Chinese Ginseng. American Ginseng, known as the ‘Yin Ginseng’, has similar ginsenosides to its Chinese and Korean counterparts, although is traditionally viewed as a gentler tonic better suited to people with excess metabolic heat, including but not specific to menopausal women.  It can also help promote a relaxed, calm attitude among those prone to stress and overwork. Rhodiola Rosea - A favorite among athletes and herbal practitioners, Rhodiola has a reputation as one of the world’s greatest mood and energy tonics.

In modern times body builders and athletes love it for its ability to promote lean muscle mass. Although commonly taken by men, Tongkat ali can also support women’s libido, mood, and energy.   Nervine Herbs that promote GABA:   GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric acid) - the main inhibitory or calming neurotransmitter in the brain, GABA influences our mood by reducing high levels of the hormones adrenalin, noradrenalin and dopamine. It also affects the neurotransmitter serotonin. Having sufficient GABA in our brain is linked to being relaxed and happy, while having too little GABA is associated with sleep problems, and feeling anxious, stressed, and depressed. Lemon Balm - a member of the mint family, this calming herb has been used in Europe, the Mediterranean, Northern Africa, and India for thousands of years because of its myriad benefits. The rosemarinic acids present in Lemon Balm are believed to boost levels of GABA, a calming neurotransmitter, in the brain.

Passion Flower - A calming nervine that help relax the nervous system, relieving tension and restlessness and promoting restful sleep. It's also a common ingredient in herbal aphrodisiacs.  Magnolia - A calming nervine popular for keeping the stress hormone, cortisol, in check. In addition, Magnolia also promotes GABA making it a choice sleep aid as well. Valerian (Sedative) - Valerian is a potent nervine and a strong sedative. It is commonly used in herbal sleep remedies and formulas used to relieve tight muscles. There are some people that find Valerian to do just the opposite and act as a stimulant and cause paranoia. Passionflower – A nervine herb native to southeastern parts of the Americas, Passionflower is now grown throughout Europe and in the United States as well. It has been treasured historically for its' ability to allay anxiety, insomnia, seizures, and hysteria. It has also been used. It is believed that Passionflower works by increasing GABA levels. Other useful Nervine Herbs: Oatstraw – Although it is not a sedative, Oatstraw is a nervine tonic that is generally beneficial to the nervous system. It has also been used to gently restore vigor libido and acts as a restorative to the Adrenal glands. The amazing plant can get you through a stressful day or help you get a good night's rest. Lavender – A herb that's calming to the mind and uplifts the spirit. It's commonly used in Aromatherapy and is used in calming herbal infusions to relieve anxiety and promote restfulness. Some people refer to Lavender as "herbal valium".   Herbs that boost immune function and keep you feeling good in the long run: Astragalus Root – Adaptogenic herb made famous in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) that helps boost white blood cell count and helps to normalize immune function. In TCM it is also celebrated as a powerful energy tonic.  Lemon Balm - a member of the mint family, Lemon Balm is native to Southern Europe and India. It is classically used to calm the nerves, relieve anxiety, and to boost immune function. It's also used to treat cold sores, herpes, and shingles. Medicinal Mushrooms (Ex. Reishi, Corcyceps, Agaricus, Turkey Tail, etc) - Powerful adaptogenic mushrooms that boost white blood cell count and help normalize immune function. Don't get these mushrooms confused with the common variety store bought mushrooms. Button mushrooms and other hybridized mushrooms do not have medicinal value and could be toxic in some cases if not prepared properly. Adaptogens - in regards to long run immune health, Adaptogens work by normalizing the immune system. If the immune system is underperforming it strengthens it, but if it's over performing it normalizes it.   Herbs that help you feel better when your sick:   Oregano Oil - herb used to remedy the common cold, flu, and bronchitis. It's a versatile plant also used for ear aches, intestinal parasites, allergies and sinus pain. We at Power Plant prefer Wild Mediterranean Oregano in most situations. Echinacea Purpurea and Echinacea Angustifolia - an herb native to areas east of the Rocky Mountains, different species of Echinacea are used to fight the common cold, the flu, and other upper respiratory infections. Andrographis - plant native to Southern Asian frequently used for preventing and treating the common cold and flu. Thieves Oil - Legend has it that during the times of the Bubonic Plague that thieves went from house to house to rob those who had died for Plague. A special blend of oils to protect themselves from getting this deadly disease. The powerful blend of oils they used is known as Thieves Oil and continues to be used in modern times to support immune function.   Holy Basil Oatstraw Infusion recipe: Makes 32 oz. of tea   Ingredients: 1 Oz dried Holy Basil (Krishna, Vana, and Rama Blend) 1 Oz Oatsraw Pinch of Damiana Pinch of Passionflower Pinch of ground Vanilla bean Pinch of clove buds to enhance flavor   Instructions: Separate the Damiana and Passionflower into a separate teabag.
