We all know what acupuncture is, but how much do you REALLY know about its many benefits? To break down this popular Chinese-medicine practice, Robin enlists the help of Dr. Jill Blakeway! Dr. Blakeway was named one of Manhattan's Top Acupuncturists by The New York Times, as well as "a fertility goddess!" She explains how acupuncture works, what it feels like, and the common misconceptions surrounding it. Did you know that acupuncture can fix your allergies, shorten a cold, and kick your hormones into normalcy? Robin also talks about how she successfully used acupuncture to cure her sugar cravings!!! How crazy is that?! Acupuncture is NOT a temporary fix or mask, and Dr. Blakeway describes why. Alternatives for those with a fear of needles are also discussed in great detail. Stay until the end for a game called "Pressure Points!"
