05. Is Chinese Medicine New Age? What I Practice (And Don't) as a Christian Practitioner

In this episode, we’re unpacking a common question: Is Chinese Medicine “New Age,” and should Christians be cautious about it?

There is a lot of confusion in the wellness space, where practices like acupuncture, crystals, chakras, and energy healing often get grouped together. Today, I break down what Traditional Chinese Medicine actually is, how it works in a clinical setting, and how it differs from New Age spiritual practices.

I also share my personal journey as a Christian practitioner, what I do not incorporate in my practice, and how I approach healing in a way that stays grounded in faith and aligned with biblical truth.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about holistic care, this episode brings clarity, peace, and practical understanding.

I will break down:

• What Chinese Medicine actually is
• Why qi refers to function, not spirituality
• Where confusion in wellness culture comes from
• What I personally do not practice (and why)
• How faith and holistic health can work together
