In this episode, we discuss integrative therapies with Dr. Anne Setnor, a Doctor of Chinese Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture. Dr. Anne shares her holistic approach to treating the body as a whole, emphasizing the importance of addressing both the branch symptoms and the root causes of health issues (and explaining what that means). We talk about advocating for yourself within the medical system and why it’s so important for women to trust their instincts and validate with functional lab testing. We cover common misconceptions around autoimmune conditions, the therapeutic use of psilocybin, and how Eastern and Western medicine can be integrated for balanced holistic health.
