Welcome back to Calling in Sick! This week I had the honor of chatting Traditional Chinese Medicine with Brehan Crawford, L.Ac founder of Crawford Wellness. Brehan explains the history of TCM and breaks down how to integrate it with your current chronic illness protocols and Western Medicine. We also discuss some practical ways to dip a toe into the world of TCM — hello foot soaks & hot water sipping — and debunks some viral TikTok “cures”.
