KEY TAKEAWAYS

Energy and Seasons

There is an acknowledgment of the lack of energy at the start of the new calendar year despite societal expectations to implement new things. Spring is seen as a more natural time for renewal and new beginnings as things come back to life and animals emerge.

Holistic Approach to Health

The importance of viewing health seasonally and holistically is emphasized, considering the body, environment, and food together.

Five Elements Theory:

The five elements (earth, fire, wood, metal, water) and their connection to different organs, emotions, and seasons are discussed. For example, the liver is associated with wood and spring, which correlates with irritability.

Personality and Elements:

Personalities and characteristics can be understood through the five elements. For instance, certain traits, body types, and sounds can help determine someone's element and how to treat them accordingly.

Acceptance of Self:

There is a discussion about accepting different phases of energy and emotions, particularly for women. The idea is to meet oneself non-judgmentally and recognize that sometimes it's okay to not want to be seen or engage with others.

Western vs. Eastern Medicine:

The integration of Western and Eastern medicine is considered beneficial. Western medicine provides quick solutions and diagnostic capabilities, while Eastern medicine offers holistic and root cause treatments. Both approaches have their place and should ideally work in harmony.

Advocating for One's Health:

Individuals need to advocate for their own health and well-being, seeking the best treatment plans and not relying solely on quick fixes. Consistency in following prescribed treatment plans is crucial, whether from Western or Eastern practitioners.

Business and Holistic Health:

The idea of a holistic health clinic where various practitioners (psychologists, acupuncturists, medical doctors) collaborate is discussed. This would allow for shared information and comprehensive care for patients.

Personal Growth and Action:

Emphasis on the importance of taking consistent action towards personal growth. It's crucial to focus on one's own life, show up even when uninspired, and avoid comparison with others.

Practical Advice:

Individuals should be proactive, explore different options for health care, and follow treatment plans diligently. Both Western and Eastern medicine have unique benefits that can complement each other when used appropriately.

Stacy Smolenski is the founder of Acu glow, a women's health clinic focusing on skin, hormones, nervous system and digestion. Each treatment is individually crafted to address the root cause of internal imbalances.

She has always been passionate about natural medicine and holistic health, but it was her own health transformation that led her to become a Doctor of Acupuncture. After struggling with chronic acne and hormone-related issues, she delved deeply into understanding the body's innate intelligence and ability to heal and thrive.

Her clinical focus is cosmetic acupuncture for facial rejuvenation, helping patients achieve glowing skin and lasting results by addressing root causes such as high stress, mental health, digestive, menstrual, or hormonal imbalances.

Her goal is to create a safe space for deep healing of the mind, body, skin, and soul. Each patient's care includes a longevity-based treatment plan using Traditional Chinese Medicine and modern diagnostic assessment, addressing internal imbalances to help patients feel, look, and perform their best naturally.

She is nationally board-certified in acupuncture, clean needle technique, and holds a certificate in Mai Zen cosmetic acupuncture. Needle-less to say, she hopes to see you in the treatment room!
