Growing Up with Asian Medicine
In my home, we didn’t choose between Asian medicine or allopathic medicine—we used both. My mom deeply believed in the healing power of food and approached every meal with intention and balance. Each dish was carefully paired to support digestion, energy, and overall wellness.
Long before ingredients like bone broth, turmeric, chia seeds, avocados, mushrooms, and ginseng became health trends, they were simply part of my everyday meals. These superfoods were valued not just for taste, but for their powerful health benefits—something that is deeply rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and holistic nutrition.
Our kitchen was always stocked with homemade bone broth and health-promoting teas—a reflection of the belief that healing starts with what we eat and drink.
Integrating Traditional and Modern Approaches to Health
In our family, we didn’t rely solely on one system. We visited both a Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor and a conventional Medical Doctor. This integrative approach shaped the way I view wellness today.
To me, naturopathic medicine is more than just a treatment—it's a way of life. It blends modern science with traditional healing practices.
My upbringing taught me that health is about balance—between eastern and western medicine, between food and function, and between prevention and treatment.
This is the foundation of the work I do today, and it’s a lifestyle I’m passionate about sharing with others.
