## Resource

In this first episode, I’m introducing you to Chinese Medicine for Christians and sharing the heart behind why I started this podcast. I walk you through my journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine, what led me to acupuncture and holistic healing, and why I felt called to create a space that helps Christian women understand the body through both faith and the wisdom of TCM. This podcast is designed to demystify Traditional Chinese Medicine and make it simple, practical, and approachable. I hope to help you see how deeply interconnected the mind, body, and spirit are and how healing is often about getting back to balance rather than chasing symptoms. In this episode, I also share what you can expect moving forward: conversations about hormones, stress, emotions, nutrition, and how TCM offers a root-cause, whole-person approach to health. Topics covered: My personal journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine Why I started this podcast What TCM is and why it matters The mind-body-spirit connection What you can expect from future episodes If you’re curious about holistic healing, acupuncture, or simply want a deeper understanding of your body through a faith-centered lens, you’re in the right place.
