15 – Acupuncture with Dr. Christina Casado

“Your body has its own repair mechanisms and it's your job to support that,” says Dr. Christina Casado, Acupuncture Practitioner. After realizing her values aligned more with eastern medicine, Dr. Christina decided to combine her passion for medicine with natural practices. In today’s episode, host Dominic is joined in conversation with Dr. Christina to discuss how she transforms patients' lives through acupuncture. 

According to Dr. Christina, diseases are imbalances rooted in our autonomic nervous system. These imbalances mostly come from long exposure to stress, and they can attack any major system within the body. One of the best ways to repair your body is through acupuncture. The insertion of small needles not only targets affected areas to increase blood flow, but it works to bring the entire body back into homeostasis. It is only when we are aligned with our bodies, that we can prevent disease and increase our overall health. 

Tune into this week’s episode of Healerology for an in-depth conversation about acupuncture. Learn more about the history behind the method, the physical impacts of long-term stress, and how the process of acupuncture can target your parasympathetic nervous system to alleviate symptoms and prevent disease.
