Speaking of Inclusion...

The Current World & Traditional Medicine with Dr Tom Ingegno


Listen Later

In this episode of Speaking of Inclusion... I am joined by Dr. Tom Ingegno, a bestselling author, clinician and speaker with nearly 25 years' experience in integrative medicine.


Tom runs Charm City Integrative Healthcare in Baltimore and has been featured in national outlets such as WebMD and Forbes. His work beautifully blends traditional and East Asian therapies with modern wellness practices, with a particular flair for making complex health ideas practical and accessible.


Our conversation explored the interconnected topics of health, politics, social structures and the many layers that come with being human. We talk about what happens when you question the systems you were brought up in, the impact of generational expectations, and the beauty (and challenges) of forging your own path outside of tradition.


Here are three key takeaways from this episode:

The power of curiosity and how it shapes not only individual lives but also influences entire communities and approaches to healing.

The crucial role of holistic wellbeing, or as Tom puts it “whole being health”, and the importance of addressing all aspects of our lives, not just the physical.

The significance of acknowledging the origins of knowledge and practice, and the importance of using culturally respectful terminology in talking about East Asian medicine.


As you listen, I’d encourage you to reflect on this question: 

In what ways are our personal health and wellbeing linked to the structures and attitudes of the society around us, and how much agency do we have in shaping our own path within it?
