141. Traditional Chinese Medicine 101: The Ancient Approach to Food, Inflammation, Hormones & Preventative Health with Dr. Felice Chan
58 min
In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Dr. Felice Chan, a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and co-founder of the skincare line Moonbo, for a TCM 101. Felice shares why she left a pre-med path in Western medicine for Chinese medicine, and how her own acne after coming off hormonal birth control led her deeper into it. She explains what it means to run hot, cold, damp, or dry, and why iced matcha and smoothies may be working against your digestion. They also talk about how TCM approaches cycles and fertility, including how acupuncture can support induction. Felice closes with what inspired her to bring Chinese medicine into skincare.
