What if the reason you feel drained, stressed, or out of balance isn’t something your doctor can find on a lab test, but something deeper that Western medicine has overlooked for centuries?
In this eye-opening episode of Hol+, Dr. Taz MD sits down with ninth-generation doctor of traditional oriental medicine Dr. Jenelle Kim to reveal the hidden truths about constitution, essence, and the vital forces that shape your health. Together, they uncover what modern science often ignores — how your unique constitution, your emotional state, and the balance of yin and yang influence everything from hormones to longevity.
From the three pillars of medicine (medicine, movement, mindset) to the forgotten role of breath and energy, Dr. Kim shares the ancient frameworks that can transform how you see your body, your stress, and your path to healing. She explains why Western approaches treat symptoms but miss the root, and how simple, timeless practices can reset your energy and restore balance.
If you’ve ever felt like something is missing from conventional medicine, this conversation will give you a powerful new lens on what health really means.
Dr. Kim and Dr. Taz discuss:
- Why Western medicine ignores constitution and essence
- How yin and yang govern hormones and energy flow
- The three pillars of medicine: medicine, movement, mindset
- Why emotions like anger show up in your organs
- The overlooked role of breath and movement as medicine
- What adaptogens really do (and when they’re dangerous)
- Why ginseng is powerful but not for everyone
- How to simplify beauty and longevity practices
- The Daoist wisdom that brings security in uncertain times
- Why honoring your constitution removes self-comparison
This is more than a conversation about health — it’s a call to rethink what medicine should really mean in your life.
Topics Covered:
- Constitution and Eastern medicine explained
- Yin, yang, qi, and organ-emotion connections
- Medicine, movement, and mindset as pillars of health
- Herbal medicine, adaptogens, and ginseng caution
