Classic of Difficulties: Difficult Questions in Medicine, Acupuncture, and Beyond

Baby Puke Trilogy Pt.2: Yin-Yang & 5 Elements


Listen Later

In episode two of this three-part series, we talk about the foundations of Chinese medicine. Doing a deep dive into yin and yang, and five element/five phase theory, we run into some deep questions about medical ideas and their relationship to society at large. Charles Darwin makes a reprise, and, spoiler alert, Nazi Germany shows up on the scene.

Babies - they’re cute. But why are they so bad at doing everything? Join Dr. James Mohebali, new dad and doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine, as we take a deeply philosophical and unexpectedly practical look at what’s the deal with our favorite tiny humans. And, of course, try to ask some questions about their digestion.
