TITLE: Everything You Know About Acupuncture Is a Lie
SHOWNOTES:
In this episode of The Original Medicine Podcast, MG takes us back to the roots of acupuncture, exploring what we’ve gained—and what we’ve lost—in the shift from classical chinese medicine to modern clinical practice.
We talk about the difference between primary and complement channels, and why understanding both is essential for true healing. This isn’t just about sticking needles into points—it’s about reading the body as a whole, honoring its story, and reconnecting with what acupuncture was really designed to do.
If you’re curious about how lifestyle, energetic balance, and modern life intersect with ancient wisdom, this conversation is for you. Whether you're a practitioner or just curious about Chinese medicine, you’ll walk away with a clearer sense of what it really means to heal in today’s world.
