For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/autumn-bear      Highlights from today's episode include: Autumn Bear  Because these are the things that seem to irritate the body the most, gluten, dairy, soy, alcohol and sugar, those guys across the board, seem to be the biggest irritants. They cause the most inflammation, and they're the first ones, you know, if someone is developing some sort of food sensitivity, that's usually the place I like to start.   Autumn Bear  So when we're looking at disease, we're really trying to figure out, where did this, you know, dysbiosis or imbalance start, and how do we really treat the root so that all the branches of that tree essentially start to heal themselves as a result of treating the root.   Autumn Bear  Oftentimes, patients are saying, Listen, I'm having all these things. These are happening to me, and ultimately, what they're getting is doctors that are saying, Well, I think you just have anxiety, so I want to put you on Xanax and that's so it's just frustrating and debilitating.   ABOUT AUTUMN BEAR Bio : Autumn Bear M.S., L.AC, DIPL AC My formal training in classical Chinese medicine was transmitted directly to me by the esteemed Taoist master and 88th generation practitioner Jeffrey C. Yuen of the jade purity and dragon gate lineage. I apprenticed with the commonwealth herbal program in Boston mastering dietary therapy and western herbal medicine.  I worked toward a Masters of Public Health at the University of Arizona & with a specialty in international medicine and maternal and child health, where my continued focus was in the areas of epidemiology, nutrition, environmental health, physiology, and psychology.  I am licensed to practice acupuncture by the states of Utah and New York and I am a board certified diplomate of acupuncture as conferred by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine & NCCAO.  My Masters of Science in acupuncture is from the Swedish Institute of Health Sciences in New York City. I have had the great privilege of teaching as a professor at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine & New York, as well as in programs focused on integrating acupuncture into mainstream medicine at both the University Paris xi Faculte de Medecine Paris-sud & Paris, France, and at the Wu Ming Dao Healing Center & Moscow, Russia. Core purpose/passion: I have been specializing in Long Covid over the last few years. I fell into by accident but it has become my life's mission to help people understand that there is hope and healing that is possible and that nothing is set in stone.  I absolutely love helping people come out of the other side of this.
