Episode 56: Why Warm Foods, Rest, and Rituals Might Change Your Health with Dr. Felice Chan

What if healing your gut could transform your mood, energy, and even fertility? In this episode, Dr. Felice Chan, a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor and acupuncturist, joins me to unpack the gut-brain connection and the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). We talk about the surprising impact of warm vs. cold foods, why your tongue can reveal hidden imbalances, and how aligning with seasonal and menstrual cycles can radically improve your health. Dr. Felice also shares her journey of taking TCM viral—growing from a few thousand followers to hundreds of thousands by making complex concepts relatable—and why education is just as important as treatment. From gua sha and herbal teas to the future of acupuncture in Western medicine, this conversation blends practical tips with timeless insight. If you’ve ever wondered how to heal from the inside out, this episode is for you.
