Once he found it, he was able to move past it. This episode is about how to find the ones you have not found yet. Why this conversation matters...

The Root Cause Most Doctors Never Look For with Dr. Yi Song You have been through the tests. You have the results. You have the prescription. And something still feels unresolved, because the system you went through was built to find what is broken in one place, not to read the whole picture. Dr. Yi Song has practiced at the intersection of traditional Chinese medicine, Western pathology, and regenerative therapy for 25 years. Her argument is not that modern medicine is wrong. It is that it stops too soon, and that the philosophy behind Chinese medicine was already asking the right...
