Can the simple act of practicing gratitude actually lower your blood sugar and transform your metabolic health? What if healing could be a journey filled with humor and lightheartedness?   In this episode, Dr. Adriana Popescu is joined by Dr. Kim Makoi, a San Francisco-based chiropractor and author who bridges the gap between science and spirit. Together, they explore the connection between our physical organs and our stored emotional energy. Dr. Kim shares insights from his new book, Booze Balance, offering a "chill" yet deep approach to liver healing that moves beyond clinical rigidity into a realm of compassion and self-awareness.   In this episode: Connecting Science and Spirit: Discover how physical spinal alignments are often influenced by deep-seated emotional patterns. The Emotional Liver: Understand why the liver is the "seat of anger" and how clearing emotional blocks can improve physical vitality. The Power of NET: Explore how Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) helps release stored trauma from the body's tissues. Gratitude as Medicine: Learn how Dr. Kim lowered his fasting glucose by 20 points simply by shifting into a "love and gratitude" state.   Resources mentioned in this episode: Dr. Kim's website: https://www.drkimsf.com/ Book: Booze Balance: A Chill 30-Day Liver Healing Program by Dr. Kim Makoi: https://www.amazon.com/Booze-Balance-30-Day-Liver-Healing-Program/dp/1963667247 Video Project: 88 Blessings by Dr. Kim Makoi: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmUlbjeewreMOwaVIHOWKAYqHzfUu_D0o&si=5Q-KVONqY9JJmm0j Modality: Neuro Emotional Technique (NET): https://netmindbody.com/   About Dr. Kim: Dr. Kim Makoi bridges science and spirit to help people release the emotional energy stored in the body.
