5 Things I learned from professional Acupuncturist Kim Underhill:
1. Western Medicine’s speciality is accident & emergency.
2. Eastern Medicine’s speciality is vitality & longevity.
3. Drugs treat acutely.
4. Therapy treats holistically.
5. Pain is a blockage of energy flow.
@SBakerMD With you Shawn, but wielding a doctrine under the guise of moral duty is actually what Ideologies and Cults do and it just breeds a Virtue Signalling war.
Instead, tell people to act with True Virtue by encouraging them to take personal responsibility for their own health!
@Theholisticpsyc When parents punish their kids for telling the truth (E.g. the child admits they ‘misbehaved’) they think they’re teaching their kids not to repeat the behaviour, but they’re actually teaching their kids to lie about it next time.
@_Pammy_DS_ Instead of avoiding your triggers, you can understand that your triggers are your Core Values being betrayed - not theirs - and you need to learn how to communicate them, instead of resenting people for not being able to read your mind.
@AlpacaAurelius My Vegetarian PT client only ate these foods and completely transformed her health. She dropped 10kg, her skin got better, her sleep improved, her energy levels shot up, metabolism increased hugely, built a decent amount of muscle, and her menstrual cycle became more consistent.
@smithhmackenzie Exercise is literally meditation for the body. It burns up junk lingering in the blood stream and channels that energy to the places it’s needed most for good health and vitality.
@hpfounder@FitFounder Agreed but the flow of education only goes forwards generationally. It rarely travels backwards.
I’ve been in very good shape my entire adult life and no one in my family who is older than me cares one bit about any of my advice.
Even my dad - and he’s the one who taught me.

I talk to a professional Acupuncturist about what she thinks western medicine does well and where eastern medicine can fill in the gaps!
Hope is a Personal Responsibility, and it starts with our Health.
Good Health is measured by our ‘Ability to Respond’ to physical + chemical + emotional challenge.
‘Responsibility’ means ‘Ability to Respond.’
Hope is having Faith in the future.
Health = Responsibility = Hope
