What if ancient healing wisdom could guide us to better health in our modern world? For Dr. Tom Ingegno, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, it's all about aligning with our body’s natural rhythm and tapping into time-honored practices to create vibrant health.
In this episode, Tom shares his journey from being pre-med to discovering acupuncture through a chance postcard, transforming his career into one that bridges the gap between East and West. From uncovering how daily habits can have a profound effect on health to the power of practices like cupping and Qigong, Tom offers a refreshing perspective on holistic healing.
He also reveals the importance of morning routines—including a simple but effective practice like drinking water first thing—and why stress reduction and systemic inflammation are at the root of much of our modern discomfort.
