Dr. Ryan Monahan - COVID-19: Perspective Series Ep 5 - a podcast by DEN Meditation

This week we’re looking at COVID-19 and the state of the world through an Eastern medicine lens by talking to Acupuncturist, Chinese Herbalist, and Functional Medicine practitioner, Dr. Ryan Monahan! Dr. Monahan discusses the ways in which Eastern medicine takes a different approach to Western medicine by looking to nourish life, strengthen, and build (as opposed to Western approach looking for things to kill and destroy), how eastern and functional medicine practices don’t “treat” diseases but “treat” the person and how there isn’t a focus on fixing symptoms but getting to the root cause. However, he does note that both Western and Eastern medicine are useful especially when used in an integrated way. He explains COVID-19 through an Eastern Medicine perspective and gives specific Chinese Herbal formulas that he has been using to help treat patients and the formulas they’ve been using in China for COVID-19 specifically. But whats even more fascinating about this conversation, is how he explains the connection between us and nature and how stress (real or perceived) affects the body. Dr. Monahan touches on the chaos of our current world, but says that within chaos exists all possibilities. If you’re curious about alternative approach to medicine and want recommendations that YOU can do to help build you immune system and improve your digestion, this is the episode for you!
