Hi all! If you're in the Bay Area, I am excited to announce an upcoming panel in May in Oakland where I will be discussing the Chinese medicine perspective on perimenopause and menopause. The other two esteemed panelists will be Dr. Risa Kagan, OBGYN, and Tendai Jordan, Nutritionist. Please come and spread the word!

Good article. Glad more and more M.D.'s are finally learning the benefits of acupuncture firsthand!

I had often heard of acupuncture as an alternative treatment for pain, but I had dismissed it. But I also knew that my patients deserved an alternative to opioids.

FINALLY! Scientific validation for what some of us have been observing and saying for years. Not all calories are alike - sugar-based calories and veggie-based calories trigger different chemical responses in the body that affect weight. And if you reduce your calorie intake, you automatically slow your metabolism by the same percentage, negating the effects of calorie-counting. Though I would add, EVERY BODY'S DIFFERENT. These are generalities.
