Teach Us About Acupuncture with TCM Practitioner Sean Wright
Episode description
In this episode of Healthy, Not Hungry, Rachel catches up with Sean Wright, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner, acupuncturist, and counsellor, who shares his journey into acupuncture and his insights into how this ancient practice can help modern ailments.
Key Topics Discussed:
Sean’s Journey into Acupuncture:
Sean reflects on how he "fell into" acupuncture and discovered a passion for its holistic approach. He talks about his experience treating a variety of conditions, from physical injuries to emotional imbalances.
Holistic Healing:
Acupuncture is rooted in balancing the body’s energy (Qi) and addressing dis-ease as an imbalance. Sean explains how acupuncture encompasses mental, emotional, and physical healing, focusing on how TCM views the interconnectedness of humans with nature.
Specialising in Musculoskeletal Issues:
Sean specialises in musculoskeletal conditions, often treating athletes with injuries and pain, using acupuncture to help speed up healing and restore balance.
Benefits of Acupuncture:
Acupuncture offers numerous benefits, from aiding fertility and women’s health to relieving stress, insomnia, and cold and flu symptoms. Sean also shares how acupuncture supports people dealing with addiction by calming the nervous system and addressing emotional imbalances.
The Importance of Breath and Grounding:
Simple practices like deep breathing and grounding (spending time in nature) can help regulate the nervous system and reduce stress. Sean emphasises the need to shift out of constant adrenal stimulation and into a more balanced state of rest and digest.
The Role of Connection in Healing:
Acupuncture addresses not only physical but also emotional well-being. Sean highlights how interpersonal relationships are vital for regulating the emotional system, underscoring the power of connection in mental health.
Acupuncture vs. Dry Needling:
Rachel and Sean delve into the difference between acupuncture and dry needling. While both use needles, acupuncture is part of a holistic diagnostic approach rooted in TCM, whereas dry needling focuses more on trigger points without the broader diagnostic framework.

We will have a new segment "Could ask the nutritionist or Nutritionist Hotline". I'm doing a call out if you would like any nutrition questions answered.
YOU CAN ASK any NUTRITION and WELLNESS QUESTIONS
We would love to answer them for you and have you on and help everyone else out there because I think this is the right thing.
So if you're brave enough to put it out there, it's completely anonymous. It may not just help you and give you that nutritionist knowledge for free, and help others with the same questions or issues.
