Road To Wellness

A lot of us want to feel free. We want the freedom in our heart, mind, and soul to do as we please. Some of us are better at it than others. One of my favorite books, The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz is a great read to gain insight on how to lose the attachments and gain our independence and freedom of living. In this episode we discuss some of the most common emotional turmoils my patient population are experiencing before discussing the four agreements.

Great question from a listener who wanted to know how receptive are hospital systems and patients to acupuncture. With big hospital systems like Kaiser Permanente, Palo Alto Medical Foundation, and big universities all around like, UCLA, Stanford, UCSF, and Cleveland Clinic, Stroger Hospital (to name a few)...Acupuncture is definitely a lot more accepted now than ever before. 

The standoff-ish aspect of the medicine isn't the medicine itself, but maybe the stigma that was developed in people's mind and maybe also their personal experience. So is acupuncture a big deal should you only do acupuncture or what is the right approach in managing your health?

This episode is a huge brain fart to respond to a common struggle from patients who have been coming into the office. We all want to be loved. We all want to be accepted for who we are. We all want to be appreciated. Sometimes we want something so much that we don't get what we want and we get stuck. This is a message, a perspective, to remind you - you're great as you are. Being yourself is the best gift you can give to others and your key to your own happiness. If you don't like who you are, fix it.

One of the most popular utilization of acupuncture aside from pain management, nausea, vomiting, and facial acupuncture is...fertility! Depending how far back you go in research paper searching the results are variable. Some agree that it helps, some disagree. Believe what you will and make sure you grab reputable sources! I grabbed a few papers from Pubmed to share here. Again, no treatments can be guaranteed and every person is different. Outcome cannot be 100% sure. But if you are going to invest in IVF or want to give another go before throwing in the towel - acupuncture might not be a bad choice to see if it'll work for you. 

These papers are for you to study. I have no affiliation or endorsing it.

Shelter in place has put a lot of things in perspective. Am I supposed to be doing what I am doing? Am I in the right career? Did a make use of my life? The choices we make affect our lives and we just have to be sure that we are making the decision that is right for us. Any decision we make that is helping us get closer to what we want, our North Star, then that is exactly what we should be doing.
