In episode 44, I welcome our first guest to the podcast, acupuncturist Dr. Julie Jerkins, DACM, L.Ac. Together, we explore how endurance runners can benefit from the healing power of acupuncture—from managing pain and reducing inflammation to supporting recovery from acute injuries and surgeries.
Acupuncture offers a holistic approach to enhance your running performance and longevity. We’ll break down how it works, the best times to incorporate it during marathon training, and how it supports overall health to keep you on the road for years to come.
Whether you're healing from an injury, preparing for your next big race, or looking for ways to recover smarter and train more sustainably, this conversation will give you a new appreciation of this ancient form of healthcare. You may never look at acupuncture the same way again!
If you are in the San Diego, California region, reach out to Dr. Julie directly for a consultation:
