Show notes

This week on the 20 Minute Fitness podcast we're getting into a topic that we have not touched upon before: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). We had the pleasure to welcome Dr. Marcus Gadau on the show, a leading TCM practitioner in Germany who studied Chinese Medicine combined with Western Medicine in Beijing and then got his Ph.D. in Evidence-based Chinese medicine in Hong Kong.

Marcus tells us about two significant experiences that he had with TCM as a teenager, which later on led him onto this path. He was trying several Western treatments for both his sports-related injuries and his acne, but they didn't seem to work. So he decided to look for an alternative solution, found a man who was practicing Japanese acupuncture, who ended up curing him with TCM.
Listen to this week's episode to learn about the basics of TCM, how it differs from Western medicine and TCM's principals for managing emotions, stress, and diet! And next week, when we release the second half of the episode, we will be talking about sleep, exercise, and sexual wellbeing from the perspective of TCM.
