They will also ask questions about your whole lifestyle, not just physical symptoms. It's common for an acupuncturist to ask questions as far back as when your parents were trying to conceive you.talk about a detailed medical history! You and I could both have a similar constellation of symptoms that a Western doctor might treat identically, but a Chinese Medicine doctor may use completely different acupuncture points and herbs, since we are individuals and the root cause of our problems is likely different. Acupuncture and herbal prescriptions are based on the unique history of the person, not just their symptoms. The beautiful thing about Chinese Medicine is that it takes the individual-past and present-into account and aims to treat the root cause of your illness. I turned to the ancestral wisdom of Chinese Medicine and have really gone all in with this form of medicine to address my health concerns these last 3 years. It was about 3 years into my journey that I quit being so stubborn and realized that I needed medical attention in order to overcome IBS, leaky gut syndrome, and chronic fatigue. When my results would stall the answer was "well, I just need to be 100% strict Paleo." This eventually became 100% strict AIP, and now 6 years in I'm so much wiser and know that diet is not The One Thing with which to cure yourself. At first, I was dogmatic about diet being the answer, since I saw such tremendous and rapid results from diet change. I've really broadened my horizons since starting my health journey in 2010. And I am certainly not alone here on #TeamWhiteRice. Does rice have a place in the Paleo diet?
Just keep moving if you're not interested in this traditional healing food from Chinese Medicine.īut lots of people, including myself and other experts and respected voices in the Paleo community have found that some leniency makes for a more sustainable and nourishing long-term lifestyle. If you follow the Loren Cordain (dogmatic) version of Paleo, then you don't eat grains, including rice and congee, on a Paleo diet. Let me cut the haters off right here: yes, congee is made from a grain. Congee is a traditional gut-healing food in Chinese medicine made from short grain white rice and copious amounts of bone broth.
