#9: Using Chinese Medicine & Decluttering To Regulate Blood Pressure w/Dr. Sandy Ziya
Dr. Sandy Ziya and I started out our amazing conversation focusing on the new standard of care in health in which "biohacking" will be the norm. We discuss the beauty of working with clients who are willing to receive help and change their lives through hundreds of different of modalities. Infrared, acupuncture, Feng shui, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and decluttering will become more common conversations at your next Girls Day Out and Brunch. Of course I had to go on a tangent about White Coat Syndrome! Most doctors aren't coaches and coaching and really listening to clients are the key to lasting health.
Dr. Ziya goes into the best practices philosophy of treating high blood pressure-- the practitioner asking lots of questions to get to the root issues. One of Dr. Ziya's patient's dangerously high blood pressure and musculoskeletal issues from a car accident regulated after her Chinese medicine protocol AND organizing her home! This particular patient had a home that was very messy and cluttered, making her feel "heavy" and panicked on a regular basis. I love Chinese medicine!! Everything is connected.
I felt super FALIDATED that my new fancy air purifier came this week! Shout out to Austin Air. https://austinair.com
