In this Healing Mindset episode, host Nazish sits down with Dr. Chloe Weber DACM, L.Ac, a doctor of Chinese medicine, herbalist and single mom navigating life with her son Remy, who lives with a rare genetic disorder. This is not a highlight-reel conversation. It is a grounded look at what happens when ancient herbal wisdom, modern physiology and real-life caregiving collide.
Dr. Weber unpacks how Chinese medicine views the body as an ecosystem, how subtle symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, cramps and sleep disruption are early warning signals, and why Western “quick fixes” often miss the root cause. She shares how Chinese herbs, lifestyle and nervous-system support have helped her son build function and joy, even with significant disabilities, and how she learned that the most powerful medicine she can offer him is her own regulated, honest presence.
If you care about chronic illness, women’s health, gut-brain health, resilience, or you are just tired of one more pill with no real answer, this episode gives you a more strategic way to think about healing that is both practical and deeply human.
About the Guest :
Dr. Chloe Weber is a Doctor of Chinese Medicine, licensed acupuncturist and clinical herbalist. Her work sits at the intersection of evidence-based herbal formulas and traditional East Asian medicine. Her personal journey with her son Remy, who has a rare neurodevelopmental condition, pushed her to innovate outside conventional systems and build long-term, resilient care instead of short-term symptom management.
She is the founder of:
-
Radical Roots : a CBD and Chinese herb company focused on nervous system, brain and gut support
-
Noxi Herbs : a women’s hormone and cycle health company
-
Radical Remedy : a blog and podcast platform centering root-cause healing and conscious health choices
Chloe’s lens is clear. Traditional medicine is not “alternative” for her. It is a primary operating system for building vitality, mental clarity and sustainable wellbeing in a toxic, fast-paced world.
Key Takeaways :
-
Chinese medicine sees the body like an ecosystem. digestion, sleep, menstrual cycles, energy and mood are all feedback loops. When something shifts, it is data, not random drama.
-
The body whispers before it screams. brain fog, cramps, gut issues, night waking, extended cycles and low energy are early warning signals that resilience is being eroded.
-
Western medicine is powerful for emergencies and acute crises, but often functions like a bandage for chronic issues. Traditional systems like Chinese medicine are designed to work at root-cause level over time.
-
Herbs are not just “woo.” There is growing pharmacological research on how specific Chinese herbs affect neurotransmitters, immune modulation, inflammation and detox pathways.
-
Caring for a child with significant disabilities taught Chloe that her first responsibility is her own regulation. a burned-out caregiver is not sustainable medicine for anyone.
-
Resilience is not about pushing endlessly. it is about knowing when to rest, when to renegotiate expectations and when to let a few balls drop without guilt.
-
Small, consistent shifts . more whole foods, hydration, time in nature, breathwork, gentle movement and targeted herbs . compound into measurable health and emotional stability over time.
