Men's Health Part 2

In Men’s Health Part 1, we focused on health problems that many modern men face—from stress, insomnia and memory loss, to back problems, joint pains, urinary and sexual function problems. The underlying cause of these issues is usually always related to a Kidney energy deficiency. So how does traditional Chinese medicine respond?

TCM treats me n’s health issues with natural methods that create lasting health without side effects. Prevention is the true specialty of Chinese medicine. We educate men about the benefits of natural healing techniques and balanced lifestyle choices so they can build and maintain their health.

Men's Health Part 1

BUILDING STRENGTH FROM THE INSIDE OUT

When we talk about men’s health—about ways men can build strength and maintain their power as they age—there are two basic directions: short-term gains at the expense of the body or true long-term wellness. Chinese medicine focuses on healing for the long term. It understands health in terms of Qi, or energetic life force. Its goal is to build real health from the inside-out.

Chinese medicine is based on Universal law. It follows a deep understanding of how the function of the human energy system impacts the health of the whole person—body, mind, emotions and spirit. It also sees that the body is deeply impacted by the environment. This model of health was true in ancient times and still functions effectively today.

Healthy vs Junk Food?

Eating at the wrong time can turn your healthy food into junk food! This is an extraordinary new insight in science. Not only that but research has discovered we need to eat regularly and always within the same set timeframe. Otherwise it causes a ‘food hangover’. The focus shouldn’t be on what you eat (forget nutrient, 5 food group and other theories), but on when to eat.

Digestion Relief

I see many patients who diet madly to try and get digestive issues under control, but focusing on dieting to doesn’t address the underlying causes. When dieting doesn’t work, they blame the diet and try another one. This actually makes Qi stagnation worse because your organs don’t like radical dieting. Focusing on keeping Qi moving is a better approach. It is never just one thing behind a symptom or condition in TCM, we never look at isolated symptoms, all your organs are connected and the physical and psychological are integrated. So how can acupuncture and Chinese Medicine help?

Focus on the Process

By learning to master what you can control, you will start to make more net positive decisions and fewer net negative ones. With time and practice, empowering, positive behaviors will become second nature.

So let go of all the stuff you can’t control, and start using your time to use what you can control to feel better and live life to a fuller extent.
