In this episode of the Purpose and Pixie Dust podcast, host Lindsay Dollinger interviews Rachel Mark, a registered acupuncturist and health coach, to discuss the significant role of acupuncture and understanding the nervous system for entrepreneurs and busy individuals. Rachel shares her personal journey into acupuncture, driven by her experiences as a ballet dancer and her fascination with the body's innate ability to heal. She highlights the importance of supporting nervous system health and getting to the root cause of health issues. Rachel also explains the basics of acupuncture in an accessible manner, touching on traditional Chinese medicine principles and the benefits of acupuncture for down-regulating the nervous system, releasing endorphins, and rebalancing energy. Furthermore, the conversation delves into nervous system regulation and its critical impact on business performance. Rachel and Lindsay explore practical steps for busy women and entrepreneurs to manage their nervous system health, including the significance of breath work, the need for realistic scheduling, and the importance of community and education.
