- Alternative Health
Show Notes:
Having healed herself successfully from illness labeled incurable, Yang uses her knowledge and experience to help others to achieve balance and well-being. In her blog, Yang's Nourishing Kitchen, she shares time-tested traditional wisdom from the east to the west, through nutrient-dense real food recipes.
3:00 As part of Chinese culture, food and medicine are integrated.
6:20 Yang became very sick and experienced widespread chronic pain.
9:20 She had various diagnostic tests run, tried various therapies, was misdiagnosed, and all the while, her condition was worsening.
14:20 Believing that recovery was possible was the first step to Yang healing from Fibromyalgia. Also, she felt she had to be willing to try an all-encompassing TCM approach to get well.
16:30 She shares what she has learned along the way in her blog, as a stepping stone for others on their healing path.
19:30 Detoxing her body with a liver flush routine is part of her health maintenance.
22:55 Healing takes time. It took Yang 5 years to feel fully recovered from her illness. During the first two years, she followed a very strict TCM protocol.
24:30 If we can keep our health in check before it gets too out of balance, we will be much better off than if we let ourselves fall apart.
28:00 A TCM protocol that encouraged circulation, as opposed to the Western medicine protocol of icing, helped her pain.
32:00 Yang discusses some of her favorite recipes, including those that incorporate Chinese herbs.
38:00 Although she did write a vegan cookbook, to be supportive of that way of eating, she personally doesn’t eliminate any food groups, focusing instead on overall nutrition.
43:00 She is grateful for the readers who have said her blog has given them hope for recovery from their chronic pain.
