On this episode of The Functional Edge, I sit down with Dr. Sonya Patel, an acupuncturist and integrative medicine expert, to explore how blending Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with Western approaches can transform reproductive health, pain management, trauma recovery, and overall well-being.
Dr. Patel shares her journey—from finding relief from migraines as a teen to recovering from a severe injury with acupuncture—to building a career bridging Eastern and Western medicine. We dive into the ways acupuncture and herbal therapies can support fertility, microvascular health, cognition, trauma recovery, detoxification, and even facial renewal.
You’ll also learn about creative tools like her People’s Guide to Fertility Coloring Book, which combines TCM wisdom, humor, and anatomy to engage patients in fun and meaningful ways.
