episode 67: From A+E to Acupuncture with Dr Sunila Prasad
Dr Sunila Prasad was working as a paediatric doctor at Croydon University Hospital when I met her a couple of years ago in the A+E department. But little did I know she was studying Acupuncture behind the scenes to prepare herself to leave the medical profession and open a holistic clinic - which she is about to do!
She comes onto the podcast to explain why she has made such a transition - and how she plans to combine her western and eastern medical training in her new practice.
In this episode we cover:
- What kind of conditions lend themselves to the chinese approach?
- Lifestyle advice and mental health.
- Why does acupuncture work for some people and not others?
- The side effects of acupuncture
- The impact of making the career transition to acupuncture.
To contact Dr Sunila you can find her on instagram @sp.acupunture or on her website www.spacupuncture.org.
