About this episode

In this episode, Professor AG discusses the Five Element Method in traditional Chinese medicine with acupuncturist Erika, focusing on how it can help understand and support overall health.

In this episode, Professor AG sits down with acupuncturist Erika to talk all about the Five Element Method in traditional Chinese medicine and how it can help you better understand your body. They break down the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, and how each one connects to your energy, emotions, and overall health. The conversation focuses a lot on the liver and how stress, hormones, and even everyday habits like too much screen time can throw things out of balance. Erika shares simple, practical ways to support your body, like moving more, expressing your emotions, eating with the seasons, and slowing down when you need to. It’s a conversation that reminds you there’s nothing “wrong” with you; you just need to understand your body better and work with it, not against it.
