This episode explores the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and its holistic approach to addressing PCOS with Jiaming Ju, founder of Kun Health. Drawing from her family’s legacy in TCM and a career in economic policy focused on longevity, Jiaming shares her journey into the world of personalized Chinese medicine.

We discuss TCM’s foundational principles, including the balance of Qi (energy), and how this impacts chronic illnesses like PCOS. Jiaming explains how TCM views PCOS not as a singular condition but as a combination of imbalances, such as Kidney deficiency and Spleen dampness. She offers insights into how TCM approaches symptoms like irregular periods, cystic ovaries, and elevated testosterone differently from conventional medicine.

The conversation covers the mind-body connection, exploring how emotional factors like stress and repression contribute to PCOS, and the concept of Liver Qi stagnation in hormone regulation. Jiaming also shares the diagnostic tools unique to TCM, such as tongue and pulse analysis, and how digestion, skin, and hair can reveal deeper health issues.

This conversation offers an in-depth look at how Traditional Chinese Medicine can help women achieve balance, address PCOS symptoms at their root, and reclaim their health.
