Today, Kristen joins us for the fifth episode in her series to discuss chronic disease, autoimmune disease and the ‘mystery illnesses’ and how she, as a TCM specialist, acupuncturist, and herbalist approaches them. Most of conventional medicine treats chronic disease as just symptom management, or prevention of the propagation / worsening of the disease. In lifestyle medicine, we have the data to show that many chronic diseases can actually be reversed or prevented with changes in food, sleep, exercise, stress, weight and avoidance of other risky behaviors.
