Traditional Chinese Medicine 101: What Acupuncture Really Does (And Who It Helps) Ep. 26

What does acupuncture actually do in the body? And how does Traditional Chinese Medicine work? In this episode of the Connected Health Podcast, I sit down with licensed acupuncturist and Diplomate of Oriental Medicine Skylar Levine to break down the science and philosophy behind Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in a way that actually makes sense. We talk about how acupuncture works through meridians, fascia, and the body’s electrical signaling, why treatments can quickly calm the nervous system, and how acupuncture supports conditions like stress, anxiety, insomnia, digestive issues, chronic pain, fertility challenges, and hormone imbalances. Skylar also explains how Chinese herbal medicine works differently from Western supplements and medications—focusing on root causes and individualized treatment instead of one-size-fits-all solutions. If you’ve ever been curious (or skeptical) about acupuncture, this episode will help you understand what it really does and who it can help.
