Dr. Shiroko Sokitch: Integrative Medicine to Treat Trauma

In this episode of the Elevated Practice Podcast, host Dr Gretchen Badami uncovers the unique journey of Dr Shiroko Sokitch, a surgeon who found her calling not in the operating room, but as a Chinese Medicine practitioner. Inspired to be a healer at a young age through a family trauma, Dr Sokitch devotes her life to uncovering miracles, and ultimately takes matters into her own hands to create miracles of her own. Dr Sokitch explains the triangle of wellness, and the ways in which Chinese Medicine is uniquely capable to treat patients emotional, physical, and spiritual health. She walks the listener through her development of a functional medicine practice that uniquely blends all the tools and modalities that she has learned over the past 30 years, and shares case examples of the power of integrative medicine. She shares her extensive experience developing acupuncture, herbal, and nutraceutical protocols for people surviving trauma in the aftermath of natural disasters, specifically the Northern California fires in her community.This interview shares both protocols for practical application, as well as the perspective of a seasoned professional for delivering whole-person healthcare. And in the end, Dr Sokitch reveals the key ingredient in healing (hint: it’s not found in a pill…) ❤️You can find Shiroko at: https://hearttoheartmedicalcenter.com/Check out her book "Healing When It Seems Impossible"Sponsored By Handcraft Healthhttps://www.handcraft.health/ Create Personalized Health Care-Packages Delivered to your Patients!
