This week's episode is with Gabriel Sher, who is the Director of Acupuncture at my go-to acupuncture spot on NY called ORA.Gabriel is an expert in acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, a board-certified acupuncturist and herbalist and has been practicing for over 20 years, treating pain, stress, anxiety and issues related to fertility and pregnancy. Gabriel began his journey working in western medicine when he realized that there was a big part missing in preventative care and actually looking at/treating the root cause of ailments. I am personally obsessed with acupuncture as someone who has been a massage girl her whole life. I find that it really opens me up in so many ways. In this episode we get into all things acupuncture, what it is/what exactly is happening in a session, who it's for, what to expect long term and of course we get into how Gabriel found this calling and some of the learnings in 20 years of seeing patients. In This Episode, You Will Learn:•How acupuncture feels (4:11, 24:20)•What to expect when getting acupuncture (8:19)•Principles of Chinese Medicine (10:35)•What the most common reasons for getting acupuncture are (13:32)•How often should you go to see results (19:15)•How long the treatment lasts (21:27)•What the tongue can teach you about your health (27:10)•How to prep optimally for a session (28:08)•How to look for an acupuncture practitioner (34:30)•Gabriel's journey to acupuncture from a Western medicine practice (36:17)Code for Behrhaus is ACTIVE for 15% off - https://behrhaus.com/Code for Ghia is GHIAxACTIVEINGREDIENT for 15% off - https://drinkghia.com/Resources:ORA Space - https://oraspace.com/Gabriel's Private Practice - https://www.acupuncture.nyc/Sophie's Instagram: @sophieiweillFollow us on Instagram: @ActiveIngredient •Connect with the community on Geneva: HERE Hosted on Acast.
