Everyday Acupuncture Podcast
Contrary to popular belief, acupuncture is not just sticking needles into people. It is a way of gently coaxing healing from the body, by helping the body to listen to itself.
While acupuncture is one of the pillars of Chinese medicine, herbal medicine, dietary habits and the influences of foods, movement and postural practices, and a vital blend of ancient physiology along with a keen observational eye for how multiple systems work together all are aspects of Chinese medicine that we will discuss here on Everyday Acupuncture.
So in addition to acupuncture we will touch on those wider aspects of Chinese medicine. And even some aspects of modern medicine as they relate to the ancient Chinese wisdom about health and well-being.

Presence and Movement • EAP020 • Mary Bond
"Your posture is determined by the moment before you move..."
How often do we think of posture as something that is fixed, static, out of awareness and somehow outside of us?
In this show Mary Bond explores with us subtle motions in the body that can lead to a vast opening of awareness, movement and ease.
Listen in as we explore breath, the gentle spacious moment that proceeds movement and a curious ease that comes from dropping our "efforting."
While many of our interviews make for good company while driving or otherwise engaging in activities of the world, today's episode invites a turn inward. Give yourself some quiet unfettered space to engage it. Mentioned in this episode:Real Mushrooms For Everyday PeopleAre you looking to improve your health?

Feed your fertility • EAP016 • Laura Erlich
It's no accident that we talk about fertile soil being the foundation of a vibrant garden. Fertility is not simply about being able to get pregnant, but being able to carry that child to term and provide the essential nourishment they need to have all the resources required to grow into a healthy and vital life.
Much of the so-called common knowledge about "good" nutrition really needs an update. And that is the topic of this week's show, as we explore traditional foods that not only promote fertility, but promote a vibrant, healthy life as well.
If you think that low-fat, fruit sweeten yogurt is a healthy choice for breakfast, then listening to this show will open your eyes to the importance of whole foods, essential fats and nutrient dense foods.

Natural skin care • EAP014 • Christine Kizik
It all started when our guest in today's show got her tail in a knot about the "greenwashing" of skin care products.
But instead of complaining Christine Kizik did something about it! Along with her husband Eran Even, an expert in Chinese herbalism, she created a line of skin products that aren't really that different from food.
And really, when you think about it, why would you put anything on your skin that wouldn't be willing to put in your mouth?
Listen in for how you too can naturally nourish your skin, learn about a weird but effective (and inexpensive) shampoo, and make your own chocolates to boot!
