Today, I’m breaking down one of the most essential (and often confusing!) foundations of Chinese medicine: Zang-Fu Organ Theory—and making it easy to understand.

If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to figure out a diagnosis or second-guessed your treatment plan, it might be time to go back to the basics. In TCM, there’s no wrong treatment—only the wrong diagnosis.

We’ll explore how Zang-Fu organs function in Chinese medicine is completely different from Western anatomy—and why that difference gives us powerful tools to treat our patients more holistically.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • What the Zang (Yin) organs really do—and why they’re so important
  • How the Fu (Yang) organs support digestion, fluids, and elimination
  • The role of the extraordinary organs and their deep connection to mental and emotional health
  • Why revisiting the foundations can actually help solve your trickiest cases

If you’re looking to feel more confident in your diagnosis and treatment strategies, this episode is for you!
