Curious George 9 ,

Yes!

Americans are disenchanted with western medicine. People would do well to listen to the wisdom on this podcast for not just their bodies, but also for their souls.

Most underrated podcast?

If you’re reading this, stop, and just download all of the episodes. James Mohebali ladies and gentlemen. He gets stuck in your head, in a good way.

Why Are We Talking About Puking Babies?

Well, if you had one you’d probably talk about it too. And it just so happens to be an excellent jumping off point for a fascinating introduction to Chinese medicine.

Found my way here via the WAWTAR podcast where Dr. Mohebali was a guest. So happy he decided to start his own podcast. Really looking forward hearing his perspective on difficult questions.
