The Science of Energy: Bridging Eastern and Western Practices
Manage episode 464931761 series 2987329
The way we think about health is changing. It’s no longer a question of either science or intuition, either Western medicine or Eastern tradition. It’s about the way they inform and expand each other.
That’s exactly what today’s guest, Morgan Lee, has spent his career exploring. He started in the high-pressure world of emergency medicine—first as an EMT, then as a registered nurse—and over time, his focus shifted. He became an authorized Level 2 Ashtanga Yoga teacher, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner, and an acupuncturist—an evolution that followed his own personal healing journey.
In this conversation, we get into:
- How acupuncture and yoga work in parallel, despite coming from different traditions
- The way energy moves through the body—and why it matters
- The emotional weight we carry in our tissues, and what happens when we start working with it
- The connection between meridians, chakras, and Western anatomy
- What it was like to transition from conventional medicine into a world many people still consider “alternative”
Morgan’s approach is refreshingly practical. He isn’t interested in mysticism for mysticism’s sake—he’s focused on what works, what’s real, and what can actually make a difference in how you feel.
Whether you’re here for the science or the subtlety, there’s something in this episode for you.
