In this episode, I am joined by world-renowned physician of Chinese medicine, Randine Lewis. Randine shares her connection with Qi Gong, the cosmos, and how they relate to our Heart.
Randine is a PHD, licensed acupuncturist, and herbalist. She is well known for her work in women’s health using Chinese medicine. She has helped hundreds of women regulate their menstrual cycles, get pregnant, find ease through menopause, and alleviate the body of cysts, fibroids, and endometriosis. If it has to do with women’s health, Randine Lewis is the best resource.
Randine teaches at my alumni, Daoist Traditions College of Medical Arts, for their Integrative Medicine doctoral program.
She has written several books including The Infertility Cure (2005), The Way of the Fertile Soul (2007), Spirit of the Blood (2022), and Birthing the Tao (2023).

In this episode, I give you an inside look at the Chinese medicine perspective on your muscles and joints: how they work, what causes pain, and what to do to keep them healthy and pain-free. I also share what works for my own muscles and joints, as well as my clinical experience working with athletes, physical injuries, arthritis, and general chronic and acute pain issues.

We can also use them in our daily lives to help us moderate our energy, needs, and desires. As a result, we will take better care of ourselves and all that we love.
Hi, welcome to season one of Through the Funnel. I’m your host, Malerie Giaimo. Together we will journey through one of the oldest, most mystical, yet simple, medical resources in the world.
