What happens when a winemaker decides to trade the cellar for a clinic? In this episode of Hear Me Out, Belinda sits down with Dr. Regan Kapach, a Traditional Chinese Medical Doctor and Acupuncturist, to explore the bridge between ancient wisdom and modern health.
From battling chronic menstrual pain to uncovering why "inexplicable" nerve pain appears when we suppress our emotions, Dr. Kapach breaks down the powerful synergy of needles and herbs. We dive deep into the philosophy of "patterns of disharmony" and why your body might be screaming for help even when your labs look "normal."
→ The difference between a 3-year and 4-year TCM education (Acupuncture vs. Herbology).
→ Why Western and Eastern medicine are most powerful when used side-by-side.
→ How the "root cause" philosophy prevents symptoms from manifesting in other parts of the body.
