Kendra interviews Dr. Lindsay Trottier, a Doctor of Chinese Medicine and board-certified acupuncturist in San Diego, California since 2012. She is the owner of Level Acupuncture and shares her journey to becoming a doctor and how she stumbled upon acupuncture at a local career center while she was a waitress at the time. She talks about the misconceptions people have about acupuncture and how it can be used to treat various health issues.

The episode highlights the importance of daily habits and routines in making small but powerful changes in one's life. Doctor Trottier suggests that small changes build up over time and can lead to significant improvements in one's overall well-being. The episode also cites research and evidence supporting the formation of a morning routine, such as getting up at sunrise and going outside to see the sunlight with naked eyes.

The speaker recommends that listeners start with two simple changes in their morning routine to help reduce stress and improve their mood. The episode encourages listeners to focus on small changes rather than trying to overhaul their entire life overnight.

Doctor Trottier also emphasizes the importance of focusing on the quality of life rather than just the amount of money one makes to achieve true happiness and fulfillment. Overall, the message is that true happiness and fulfillment come from focusing on the quality of life and identifying what truly matters, rather than just chasing after money and success.
