    EP 4: Four-Step Tongue Diagnosis

    In this episode, I introduce to you how I systematically look at a patient’s tongue. I discuss how I communicate with a patient so they properly display their tongue for an accurate diagnosis, as well as Colour, Coating, Cracking, and Shape. I continue to share with you my “Thinking in Acupoints” approach. Do you want your very own copy of Four-Step Tongue Diagnosis? Head on over to kentonsefcik.com/shop to get yourself a copy for only $12USD. It contains easy-to-use diagnostic charts as well as 13 pictures of the most interesting tongues I’ve ever seen (with a diagnosis of course)!

    EP 3: The Initial Interview

    As you may have heard, talking doesn’t cook the rice. Therefore, we shouldn’t allow the initial interview to crowd out the treatment time and cause either the acupuncture treatment to run short, or the appointment run long. In this episode, I cover how to conduct an initial interview so you can get a diagnosis with focus. Using an acronym that you can take anywhere with you, you’ll learn how to ask the right questions and get an idea of how to ask succinct follow-up questions. Do you want your very own copy of The Initial Interview? Head on over to kentonsefcik.com/shop to get yourself one for $10USD. Students and beginning practitioners have been using my resources for years to help them gain more confidence in the skills they went to school for.

    EP 2: 4-Step Prescription Building Process

    I have been in practice since 2007 and I still don’t have all the answers when a patient presents themselves to my clicic. However, I can deliver an effective and balanced acupuncture treatment by using a four-step prescription building process. In the episode, I discuss my process and give real-world examples. This podcast is brought to you by my Strength of TCM Membership. For the low, low price of $8USD/month, you gain access to hours of video content including my flagship 10-hour Foundations course which will get you thinking in acupoints. I help you gain more confidence in the skills you went to school for. Go to kentonsefcik.com for more details.
