About this episode

This episode of Girl Stop Playin features a special guest, Dr. Brittany Woodard-Hampton, an experienced acupuncture doctor who brings a wealth of knowledge about traditional Chinese medicine.

Dr. Brittany explains the basics of acupuncture, describing it as a method of using needles to help the body heal itself by maintaining a balanced flow of energy, or "chi." She emphasizes the holistic approach of Chinese medicine, which views the body, mind, and spirit as interconnected. This philosophy contrasts with Western medicine, which often focuses on diagnosing and treating specific diseases with medications.

You'll learn about the diagnostic tests used in Chinese medicine, such as examining the ear for signs of imbalance and pressing on the belly to assess the health of different channels in the body. Dr. Brittany describes how these non-invasive tests help her determine the best treatment plan for each patient.
