9: Elevating Acupuncture: A Journey from Practice to Research with Sandro Graca

AcuPro - The Wonders of Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine

Do you ever get asked by friends, family, patients, and peers, "Is there any evidence-based acupuncture research?"
If you haven't heard of today's guest, Sandro Graca, where have you been? As a fellow of the Acupuncture & TCM Board of Reproductive Medicine, a Director at Evidence-based Acupuncture, and a board member of the Society for Acupuncture Research, I could not have found a better TCM Rock Star to talk with about this subject. Sandro has made it his mission to research evidence-based acupuncture and share it with the world.
Key points in this episode:

• The importance of acupuncture research
• Why we need to focus on 'How does acupuncture work?' 💡 rather than 'Does acupuncture work?' 🤔
• Inspirational advice on deciding your practice focus and tips for new practitioners
• How educating your patients will lead the evolution toward integrative healthcare
