Over two centuries after the Medical Renaissance (1400-1700), a new trend is emerging — wellness, once solely a medical goal, has transformed into a more holistic and lifestyle-oriented approach.
Integrative wellness practices emphasize the importance of balance within the body and between the body and the external environment. When there is internal equilibrium and harmony with the external surroundings, energy can flow smoothly to nourish organs and tissues. By utilizing techniques such as acupuncture to adjust and stimulate this energy flow, the body’s natural healing ability can be activated to maintain health and prevent imbalances and diseases.
Doctors of Oriental Medicine, like Dr. Ken Grey, focus on identifying areas of blocked energy and removing these obstructions to restore the body to a more balanced state. Research on acupuncture as an alternative therapy has grown significantly in the last two decades, outpacing studies on traditional biomedicine.
Dr. Ken Grey is a renowned holistic Doctor of Oriental Medicine based in Florida with expertise in acupuncture and holistic medicine. He hosts the radio show “Maximum Health,” authored a holistic cookbook, and is also an accomplished artist.
In a recent interview, Dr. Grey shared insights into his journey towards holistic medicine and discussed the importance of empowering patients through holistic education, especially in the wake of the pandemic. He emphasized the role of disciplines like acupuncture, homeopathy, and herbology in addressing physical and emotional pain.
As the world learns to cope with challenges like anxiety, addiction, depression, and loss post-pandemic, traditional medical establishments are recognizing the limitations of symptom-based treatments. Dr. Grey has pioneered holistic care approaches, including intra-operative acupuncture, to effectively manage these issues.
Apart from his expertise in acupuncture, Dr. Grey incorporates various healing modalities into his practice, whether it’s through art, acupuncture, meal planning, or his radio show. He believes that all these forms of expression contribute to healing and artistry, aiming to inspire and empower individuals.
Dr. Grey’s diverse patient base benefits from his holistic approach to healthcare, informed by his education in Oriental medicine. Through his forthcoming platform VELL, launching in October, he aims to revolutionize holistic health through a mobile app that addresses chronic pain, stress, depression, and other common ailments. VELL promotes accountability and empowers users to take charge of their well-being.
