You can have all the credentials — the degrees, the protocols, the frameworks — and still feel like something is missing.
In this raw and powerful episode, Dr. Connie Cheung shares what happened when she hit the edge of evidence-based care, both as a practitioner and a patient. With decades of training in physical therapy, dietetics, functional medicine, and somatics, she still found herself burning out — and ultimately breaking down.
What she discovered? Healing isn’t about fixing symptoms. It’s about reconnecting the system — body, mind, and spirit.
This episode is for the practitioner who feels boxed in, the teacher who’s craving more depth, and the seeker who knows there’s something missing in modern medicine.
You’ll learn:
- Why conventional training often fails to prepare practitioners for real healing
- How trauma, stress, and disconnection are the root cause of most chronic conditions
- The birth of Functional Yoga Medicine™ and Human OS™ as a radical return to integrated healing
- How to evolve beyond your training and rise as the medicine
