How Traditional Chinese Medicine can aid your postpartum recovery

Send us a text This week I'm delighted to be joined by Brehan Crawford from Crawford Wellness as we discuss Traditional Chinese Medicine and the role it can play in your postpartum recovery. Note; We're talking the REAL DEAL TCM, not the weird "let me sell you stuff you don't need" American style TCM! Brehan has been practicing TCM for over 15 years; In his 20s he started studying the philosophies and martial arts of Asia which led him to attend a Chinese Medicine school where he earned a Masters' degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Unsatisfied with the pseudoscience and superficial clinical experience of American TCM school he sought out a residency with a doctor of TCM trained in China, spent five years learning to manage complex chronic cases under his supervision, and eventually traveled to China to study directly from master physicians and martial artists there. Over fifteen years of clinical practice he has accumulated many patients' stories of recovery, including mysterious onset of illnesses; mistreatment, gaslighting or disregard by the conventional American medical system; dissatisfaction & outright fraud from alternative medicine providers; and ultimately how they find the most benefit from practices thousands of years old with a deep basis in traditional culture that have justification from modern scientific evidence. We discuss many things; The problem with American TCM From the benefits of Traditional practices such as Zuo Yuezi ("Sitting the Month") to the importance of taking time to REALLY recover postpartum. Brehan explains what the impact of not being able to fully recover postpartum can look like. Issues like Fibromyalgia, chronic pelvic pain and IBS are not at all uncommon. We talk about the causes of these and how to resolve them. I had a blast interviewing Brehan and, as I said in the podcast, I'm a big fan of the content he puts out.
