What if feeling better isn’t about another prescription — but about getting to the real root of what’s going on? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Noriko Ueda-Lang, a Licensed Acupuncturist, Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner and Kinesiotape Instructor, to explore the powerful connection between Eastern and Western approaches to wellness.

Dr. Noriko shares how her acupuncture practice and background in functional medicine come together to address root causes of health issues rather than just symptoms. We dive into topics like acupuncture, lifestyle medicine, nutrition, supplementation, and the importance of breath work, and we also touch on konenki — the Japanese perspective on the midlife transition. Whether you’re seeking new ways to support your health or simply curious about integrative wellness practices, this conversation offers plenty of inspiration and actionable insights.

Want to dive deeper into the tools and tips Dr. Noriko shared with us? We’ve included links below related to acupuncture, functional medicine and lifestyle medicine so you can explore these resources further and take the next steps toward supporting your health journey.
