Bad Medicine podcast: Rethinking Medicine – What Doctors Can Learn from Acupuncture

admin2025-08-03T20:25:39-07:00July 23rd, 2025|

In this powerful episode of Bad Medicine, we sit down with Z’ev Rosenberg- acupuncturist, teacher, and one of the first licensed practitioners of Chinese medicine in the United States - to uncover what our modern medical system has forgotten. Through illuminating stories of patient transformations - from resolving deep emotional traumas manifesting as physical pain, to facilitating childbirth through acupuncture - Z’ev demonstrates that true medicine involves engaging the body's innate healing potential. He emphasizes that treatment is not something done “to” patients, but rather a collaborative, empowering, and ecological process involving nutrition, lifestyle, and spiritual well-being. Whether you’re a healthcare provider seeking fresh insights, a patient looking to understand your own healing journey, or simply curious about how ancient wisdom fits into modern life - this conversation will deepen your understanding and appreciation of what it truly means to heal. Z’ev Rosenberg doesn't just critique the current medical system - he offers a vision of what healthcare could become: more humane, more holistic, and fundamentally healing.
