The Body Knows First: Acupuncture, TCM, Nervous System Healing & Learning to Trust Yourself with Dr. Molly Sandeep - Groovy Geminis: Wellness + Woo | Lyssna här

What if your body has been communicating with you all along—and healing begins when you learn how to listen?

This week, we’re joined by Dr. Molly Sandeep, chiropractor, acupuncturist, and founder of Aluma Wellness Studio, for a conversation that lives right at the intersection of modern science, ancient wisdom, intuition, and a little bit of magic.

Molly takes us back to her childhood, where she was surrounded by scientists and doctors but already saw something deeper in healing: the power of touch, connection, and the relationship between practitioner and patient. We unpack what’s actually happening in the body during a chiropractic adjustment, how acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine work, what your tongue and pulse can reveal in TCM, and why so many seemingly different healing systems may actually be speaking the same language.

Then the conversation gets deeply personal. Molly opens up about being diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer just as she was beginning to feel clarity around the life she wanted to create. She shares how treatment forced her into the present moment, the role acupuncture, spirituality, vulnerability, and community played in supporting her, and how one of the hardest chapters of her life ultimately transformed the relationship she had with her own body.

We also talk about somatic healing, the nervous system, why healing was never meant to happen entirely alone, and the difference between trying to “fix” your body and creating the conditions for it to come back into balance.

Molly’s mantra for the week says it best: “The body always knows, and it speaks first. I’m learning to trust it before I have to understand it.”

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, questioned your intuition, or wondered how science and more energetic forms of healing can coexist, this conversation is for you.
