Have you ever looked at two acupuncture points and thought, “Aren’t these basically used for the same thing?” 🤔
In this episode, I’m breaking down 9 acupuncture point pairs that can seem almost interchangeable, but each has its own unique clinical strengths. Through practical case studies and simple rules, I’ll show you how to decide which point is the better choice for your patient.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
• How to differentiate Kidney 3 vs. Kidney 6, Liver 3 vs. GB34, and LU7 vs. LI4 based on your patient’s presentation
• When to choose ST25 vs. ST37, ST36 vs. Ren 12, and SP9 vs. Ren 9 for digestive and dampness patterns
• How to decide between PC6 vs. HT7 for calming the mind and BL40 vs. BL60 for different types of back pain
• Why LI11 and ST44 are both great for clearing Heat, but aren’t always the best choice for the same patient
Whether you’re a student preparing for exams or a practitioner looking to sharpen your point selection, this episode will help you understand the why behind your acupuncture prescriptions and choose the right point with more confidence 💜

What if there’s another way to support patients who have been struggling with chronic symptoms, even when conventional testing doesn’t seem to show the full picture?
In this episode, I’m joined by acupuncturist Grace Kalakay to explore bioresonance technology and how she has integrated it into her practice to support chronically ill patients. Grace shares what led her to bring this German technology into her clinic, her own fascinating experience with frequency-based testing, and how she uses Bioresonance to investigate potential stressors that may be contributing to complex health concerns.
We talk about how Bioresonance works, what a scan can reveal, the difference between in-clinic and remote sessions, and some of the patterns Grace has observed in her patients. I also share my own experience receiving a Bioresonance report and what came up in my results.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
• Grace’s personal journey with Bioresonance and why she brought this technology into her acupuncture practice
• How bioresonance scans and frequency-based therapies are used to explore potential stressors, including pathogens, heavy metals, chemicals, and parasites
• The fascinating case studies and patterns Grace has observed in patients with complex chronic conditions
• How Bioresonance can be used alongside acupuncture, nutrition, and other tools to support patients on their healing journey
🎧 Whether you’re an acupuncturist curious about expanding your clinical toolkit or simply interested in emerging approaches to complex chronic illness, this episode offers a fascinating look at how technology and Chinese medicine can work together.
