IN THIS EPISODE: How having a "FINITE MINDSET" can negatively impact our HEALTH AND HEALTH CARE choices. What determines success or failure when it comes to our health and our relationship with our bodies? The differences between HOW WE THINK and HOW WE FEEL - and how CHINESE MEDICINE helps us navigate between them.  

SHOW NOTES:

Do we have a finite mindset when it comes to our health? 

Having a finite mindset - where everything is limited including thought - can create any number of problems for us. We can convince ourselves that untrue things are true; that never makes them true.

Keeping an entirely open mind - the infinite mindset - is our topic in this episode.

I first encountered JILL BLAKEWAY, best selling author of Energy Medicine 25 years ago. Her thinking changed my thinking about Chinese medicine and how best to practice it. Her words inspired me to move away from the finite, results-and-solutions driven attitude and redefined to me (and for me) what it means to me to practice medicine.

IN THIS EPISODE: What are our health expectations and do they reflect who we are individually - and our bodies? How Chinese medicine helps each of us have a better relationship with our bodies, rooted in our lived experiences and unique brand of being. How the wrong expectations create confusion. And how Chinese medicine is especially good at connecting women to their bodies and to themselves as individuals.

SHOW NOTES:

During the Ming dynasty (1368 to 1644) women’s role in Chinese society was very clearly defined. The duties of women of the upper echelons of society - these were the wives and daughters of scholars and men of official rank - was to produce an heir who would carry the family legacy. In other words, a son. 

Meanwhile, they would bind their daughter’s feet and teach them the ways of proper conduct through the recitation of poetry. 

One such woman was TAN YUNXIAN – who some of you may have read about in LISA SEE'S New York times best seller “ LADY TAN'S CIRCLE OF WOMEN”. Tan Yunxian lived from 1461 to 1556 (Mid-Ming dynasty)  and, contrary to the norms of the time and thanks to the training she received from her grandparents, became a doctor. 

She is the author of Miscellaneous Records of a Female Doctor - the first written account of the application of medical care by a woman doctor.

IN THIS EPISODE: You'll hear how Chinese medicine is especially well suited to treat women and women's health. I'll explore and explain what makes that so - while describing my own work using Chinese medicine to treat women’s hormonal health.

SHOW NOTES:

I specialize in treating women and women’s hormonal health. Chinese medicine, has demonstrated over its 5000 year history, how it is perfectly suited to treating women and pretty much anything and everything that might impact our health, our well-being and our happiness.

Those three things aren’t the same – but they’re all interconnected – as we all know from lived experience. Impact one and the other two will feel it.
