Ancient herbs. Acupuncture. Thousands of years of observation now meeting modern clinical evidence.

Traditional Chinese Medicine has been practiced for millennia — but how does it translate into modern patient care? In this episode, Dr. Ryan Cole, IMA Senior Fellow, speaks with Dr. Kristina Carman, IMA Senior Fellow, Nutritional and Holistic Health, and Dr. Adylle Varon, IMA Senior Fellow, Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, about integrating TCM principles into contemporary functional and holistic practice.

The discussion explores how thoughtful integration can expand a clinician’s toolkit while remaining patient-centered and evidence-informed.

They cover:

• What Traditional Chinese Medicine really is — and what it is not

• The TCM diagnostic approach and how it differs from conventional models

• Targeted herbal support for hormones, thyroid health, stress, and gut health

• Practical clinical application examples

• Why integrating TCM with functional medicine may enhance patient outcomes

This episode offers practical insight into how ancient wisdom continues to inform modern healthcare.
