In this episode, Dr. Laura Hays delves into the world of acupuncture with guest Jodie Treloar - founder of Drift Acupuncture and Wellness - a practitioner with a unique background in marine biology and natural medicine. They discuss the basics of acupuncture, including its historical and philosophical roots in Taoism and the five elements theory. Jodi explains how acupuncture works by using needles to stimulate the body’s energy flow, or 'qi,' to promote natural healing and balance. The conversation also touches on common misconceptions about acupuncture, its benefits for physical and emotional health, and its potential as an adjunct to Western medicine. Key topics include the treatment of stress, anxiety, physical pain, and women's health issues such as perimenopause. Additionally, Jodie shares practical lifestyle tips rooted in Chinese medicine that listeners can incorporate into their daily routines. The episode emphasizes the importance of a mind-body-spirit connection and the need for a holistic approach to health and wellness.
