Holistic Healing — What It Treats (and How to Evaluate It)
Description
Holistic healing is often misunderstood—either dismissed or accepted without question.
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Heather Wisely to explore how to think about acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and holistic health approaches more clearly.
We break down:
• What acupuncture is actually doing (and why it shouldn't hurt)
• How practices like cupping, moxibustion, and acupressure fit into a larger system
• Why treating the "whole person" changes how problems are defined
• How to evaluate alternative health approaches without blindly accepting or rejecting them
This isn't about belief.
It's about understanding the model behind the method.
Because before you decide if something works,
you have to understand what problem it's trying to solve.
