In this short interview, the host asks how a clinician distinguishes emotional trauma and belief-driven spirals from biochemical issues like vitamin deficiencies in women seeking care. The clinician explains her comprehensive intake process, whether in person or remote, beginning with visual and tactile observations of the tongue, eyes, fingernails, face, and even holding the client’s hand. She then emphasizes listening to how clients speak—the tone, cadence, and narrative—to gather further clues. By asking extensive questions, she integrates physical signs with mental, emotional, and energetic information to identify the root causes of health concerns and to restore the foundational health of the client, arguing that focusing solely on biochemical factors is insufficient for true healing.

there are emotional things, there are trauma responses, memories, all of that. And so having a clinician who can help you parse that out and figure out, like, what is a vitamin deficiency versus what is me just spiraling in my, you know, lies that I'm believing, right? And so I would love for you to kind of walk us through. Where do you even start with women when they come into your practice?
So whether I see them in person or remotely, the very first thing that they do is I actually look at their tongue, I look at their eyes, I look at their fingernails, I look at their face. Um, if we're in person, I'll hold their hand. So I'm really trying to see what physical observations is the body trying to give us that says, hey, I'm deficient inside, or this is going on And I try to get to the root of what their body's trying to share. And then I ask them so many questions because there's so much information in how people are speaking about their life, the tone of their voice, the cadence of their voice. And so there's a lot that's happening in, in my session when I meet with someone to figure out, okay, what— how can we restore your foundations of health? Because what I've found is if we don't look at the physical, the mental, the emotional, the energetics, and the physical part of people, we don't truly get to healing. And so I think all of those elements are really important versus just the physical biochemical aspect. We have to include the rest of it.
