Chinese Medicine expert and host Brodie Welch talks with colleague Joe Moceus, L.Ac., about one of the central principles of Chinese Medicine: the notion that the body is an ecosystem rather than a machine to be fixed.

Like a tree with lots of branches, the same root cause can give rise to a number of very different symptoms.

In this episode, we touch on:

• Why Chinese Medicine focuses on patterns of disharmony rather than symptoms
• If it's happening in nature, it's happening in us as well
• How everything in the body affects everything else
• The cycles of 7 and 8 and the phases of our lives
• The Imbalance Continuum and the importance of treating beforehand
• Brodie's acupuncture orbit
• Treating to balance the energy within but also to balance it with our lives.
