What do you do when your mind is racing, emotions feel overwhelming, and meditation doesn’t help?

In this episode of Pursuing Health, I share a personal moment of overwhelm and the simple, unexpected technique that helped me regulate my nervous system in just minutes. When sitting quietly felt impossible, I turned to Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), or tapping—and experienced a powerful shift.

I’ll explain why meditation isn’t always the right tool in intense moments, the science behind tapping, and guide you through a short practice you can follow along with in real time.

If you’ve tried tapping, I’d love to hear what you think.

What if medicine focused less on naming diseases and more on understanding why the body falls out of balance in the first place?

This episode brings together some of the most respected thinkers in functional medicine: Dr. David Haase, Dr. Mark Hyman, Chris Kresser, and Dr. Bob Rountree. Together, they explore how a systems-based approach—one that looks at root causes rather than isolated symptoms—can transform the way we understand health, healing, and the human body.

This episode offers a clear and compelling look at functional medicine as a framework—not just for treating disease, but for truly pursuing health.
