Description

Dr. Felice Chan bridges neuroscience and Traditional Chinese Medicine — and in this conversation, she reveals why so many of us are stuck in a fight or flight mode, struggling with gut issues, insomnia, and anxiety.

We talk about:

  • Why your body stores emotions in your fascia (and how acupuncture helps release them)
  • The real root cause behind cascading symptoms like headaches, insomnia, and digestive issues
  • How stress rewires your nervous system—and why you can't just "relax" your way out of it
  • The Chinese medicine approach to food, and why what you eat for breakfast matters more than you think
  • Why taking 15 supplements isn't helping (and might actually be making things worse)
  • The four pillars of Traditional Chinese Medicine—and how to use them in your daily life

Dr. Felice Chan is a board-certified Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner and acupuncturist based in Los Angeles. She studied neuroscience and worked in clinical research before shifting to Eastern medicine, and now helps patients address root causes rather than just masking symptoms.
