   Healing Through the Seasonal Change: Traditional Chinese Medicine, Stress, and Restoring Balance with Dr. Laurel Liu

   In this episode of the Modern Aging Podcast, we explore the healing power of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and how it can help you feel more balanced, energized, and resilient—especially as we move into the winter season. Joined by TCM doctor, acupuncturist, and herbalist Dr. Laurel Liu, we break down foundational concepts like yin and yang, the five elements, and liver chi stagnation in a way that’s practical and easy to understand. Dr. Laurel shares how stress and emotions show up in the body, why TCM focuses on restoring balance instead of chasing symptoms, and how food, herbs, acupressure, and seasonal habits can support sleep, digestion, immunity, and even blood pressure. Whether you’re new to holistic health or already familiar with Eastern medicine, this conversation is full of tools you can start using right away.
