Episode 1 | Traditional Chinese Medicine, Hormones & Fertility - Dr. Calvin Crichton & Embodied Wellness Co.

Welcome to Embodied Wellness Radio, a podcast framed around MAKING WOMEN HEALTHY AGAIN.   We specialize in educating women on optimizing their health through fitness, nutrition, mindset.

 

On todays podcast we brought on Dr. Calvin Crichton to speak about the history and some basics of TCM, and it's relation to female health and fertility.

 

When Calvin was in his early 20’s he was introduced to the wonders of Chinese medicine as an international athlete in Karate. Performing at a high level was hard on body and mind alike.

 

As such, Chinese medicine and acupuncture became a staple in his life to treat joint pain, stress, insomnia and headaches. As time passed competitions faded and a desire to understand human health took root. Through the 2000s to present Calvin has gained substantial education.

 

His training consisted of a 2000+ hour acupressure program, two acupuncture programs and two Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine programs. Beyond that he did a PH D equivalency in the ancient Japanese medicine art known as Isshinho. Since that time he has taught from coast to cost in three different TCM schools and numerous association events. Also, he has been either president or board member of three different TCM associations on the East Coast.

 

Calvin's extensive educational background is reflected in his treatment presentations that usually consist of acupressure (finger pressure and massage techniques), medicinal ointments, hot towel applications, hot stone therapy, auricular therapy, acupuncture, cupping, energetic treatments and the dispensing of Chinese medicinals. He presently practices in Vancouver at Qi Integrated Health

 

With these healing modalities combined, treatments come across to patient’s as ‘spa-like’. This realization helps to affirm Calvin’s healing philosophy of “Healing should be a pleasant experience not more trauma”.
