Feeling frustrated with the lack of answers from conventional healthcare? If endless 'normal' blood test results don’t match how you feel, this episode is for you. I'm joined by Dr. Jim, an expert in acupuncture, functional medicine, and neurology, and my clinic neighbor, to shed light on alternative healthcare solutions.

Starting his medical journey at 16 as an Emergency Medical Technician, Dr. Jim pursued a Bachelor's Degree in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz. His path didn't stop there; while training in Ju-Jitsu, he also qualified as a certified massage therapist and yoga instructor. Dr. Jim expanded his expertise with a Masters and Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, honing his focus on Functional Medicine since 2002. Beyond his practice, Dr. Jim is a respected educator, creating Functional Medicine courses and teaching as a Professor of Functional Blood Chemistry at Five Branches University.

Join us as we explore how Dr. Jim's holistic approach, combining acupuncture, functional medicine, and neurology, offers a comprehensive treatment strategy that goes beyond conventional methods. We’ll also cover autoimmune issues and what it's like to work with a provider who is going to dig deep, especially when it comes to blood chemistry and panels. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who is seeking answers about their health and just cannot find them.
