This week’s guest is Dr. Ashley Beckman, a doctor of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, board certified acupuncturist and herbalist, Functional Medicine practitioner, and epigenetics expert in Los Angeles. She received her doctorate in Healthy Aging and Longevity and wrote her thesis on epigenetics and the study of how our genes are affected by our diet and lifestyle.

Over the last ten years as an acupuncturist at Dr. Soram Khalsa’s busy Functional Medicine practice in Beverly Hills, Dr. Ashley performed over 50,000 treatments and currently practices virtually in Malibu, where she specializes in Root Cause Medicine, cellular detoxification from mold, Lyme and environmental toxins, hormone balancing and epigenetics. She has studied the healing properties of herbs, holistic nutrition, flower essences, essential oils, light color therapy and whole foods for more than twenty years. Dr. Ashley combines all these elements to instill holistic lifestyle change.

In the episode, Dr. Ashley educates about the physiological impact of the California fires on our health, how to use the wisdom of Chinese Medicine for lungs, grief, disruption, as well as the energy of organ optimization in the season of winter.
