Overview:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Functional Medicine share a common goal: treating root causes and restoring system-wide balance. This module shows how both approaches can complement each other in daily practice.
- Core concepts of TCM (Qi, Yin-Yang, Five Elements) and their functional parallels in modern physiology
- Translating TCM patterns into Functional Medicine language: inflammation, detoxification, energy, and organ networks
- Practical synergies: combining TCM tools (e.g. acupuncture, herbal concepts) with biochemical and lifestyle-based interventions
Learning Objectives:
You will learn to link TCM and Functional Medicine perspectives and use them side by side in your diagnostic and therapeutic thinking. This opens up new options for individualized, holistic patient care.
