About the Course
As practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), we must bridge the gap between TCM and Western biomedicine. With a clear understanding of healthy physiology according to TCM, we can better interpret common symptoms and biomedicine diagnoses through a TCM lens. Then we must address the source of the problem by reestablishing the body’s healthy Qi cycle. This course will bridge that gap and clarify your understanding of endocrine physiology, disease, and treatment with TCM.
Course Objectives
In this course, students will learn how to diagnose and treat endocrine disorders commonly seen in a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) clinic. This includes the following:
Metabolic disorders, especially diabetes and diabetic complications like retinopathy, neuropathy, kidney failure, stroke
Thyroid related disorders including hyper- and hypothyroidism, thyroid nodule, and goiter
Ovarian endocrinopathy like polycystic ovarian syndrome
Reproductive endocrinology related to hormonal birth control, assisted conception, and hormonal replacement therapy
Diagnosis techniques will include pulse and tongue analysis. Treatment modalities will apply the instructor's Traditional Chinese Medicine Unified Practice Method (TCM UP Method) that includes scalp and body acupuncture protocols, herbal formula combinations, as well as dietary and lifestyle recommendations all designed to address the source of the problem by reestablishing the body’s healthy Qi cycle. Dr. Chi will use case studies from her clinical experience to discuss treatment efficacy.
