Episode 8: Eating & TCM (ft. Zoey Xinyi Gong)

Sam Low and Jean Teng discover the basic principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), thanks to Chinese Medicine food therapist and registered dietician, Zoey Xinyi Gong (also author of The Five Elements Cookbook). We talk about how people can start to incorporate it into their lives, the accessible ingredients, how it can be helpful, the push and pull between Western and Chinese medicine (e.g. they can co-exist!), the appropriation of TCM in wellness culture, wellness culture in general, and more.
