치유의 기억| When Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Medicine: The Integrative Pediatrician — The One With Dr. Tokunbo Akande | Episode 38 (2025)
About this episode
Dr. Tokunbo Akande discusses the intersection of ancient healing traditions and modern medicine, emphasizing the importance of stories and sustainable wellbeing.
In this episode, I sit with Dr. Tokunbo Akande, a board-certified pediatrician, clinical informaticist, and dual-trained fellow in integrative medicine and Ayurveda. Dr. Akande moves with ease between worlds. He can talk vaccine schedules and electronic health records, and in the same breath speak to doshas, herbs, and the wisdom he grew up with. We talk about how ancient healing traditions can live alongside modern medicine, why stories matter in clinical spaces, and what sustainable wellbeing really looks like when you’re navigating burnout, cultural displacement, and the quiet loss of inherited knowledge.
