05. Is Chinese Medicine New Age? What I Practice (And Don't) as a Christian Practitioner

In this episode, we’re unpacking a common question: Is Chinese Medicine “New Age,” and should Christians be cautious about it? There is a lot of confusion in the wellness space, where practices like acupuncture, crystals, chakras, and energy healing often get grouped together. Today, I break down what Traditional Chinese Medicine actually is, how it works in a clinical setting, and how it differs from New Age spiritual practices. I also share my personal journey as a Christian practitioner, what I do not incorporate in my practice, and how I approach healing in a way that stays grounded in faith and aligned with biblical truth. If you’ve ever felt unsure about holistic care, this episode brings clarity, peace, and practical understanding. I will break down: What Chinese Medicine actually is Why qi refers to function, not spirituality Where confusion in wellness culture comes from What I personally do not practice (and why) How faith and holistic health can work together Connect with Melissa Peters, L.Ac. 📧 go.melissapetershealth.com 👥 Join the community: TCM for Christians Facebook Group If this episode encouraged you, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend who may need it too.
