56: Break the Yang Addiction with Brodie Welch


Listen Later

Chinese medicine is more than just treating health symptoms. It’s bringing the body back into balance using lifestyle improvements, self-care and -respect practices, and nourishing our vitality. Brodie Welch joins me to talk about how she uses acupuncture, qi gong, and Chinese medicine to help high-achieving women start enjoying their lives again.

 

How to Break Free of the Yang

  1. Make time for joy
  2. Make time for rest
  3. Make time for proper nourishment
  4. Rest your mind and observe where you’re coming from
  5. Live from a place of balanced ease and balanced action
  6. Treat yourself with the same kindness you would treat someone else
  7.
