S2E3: Millennials, Motherhood and Being a Daughter

In this episode, we explore the complex dynamics of being a millennial mother, or daughter, or both at the same time! Through the lens of TCM & Family Systems work, we process how motherhood and daughterhood affects how we care for our own mental and physical health. We talk about the common issues between mothers/daughters in millennials (caretakers - this is for you), the menopause-puberty link, and the truth of how to replenish your Earth element. We hope this episode brings you insight into offering more compassion, kindness, and hope towards the mothers and daughters in your life, or even your own ever-changing body.

In this episode, Jen speaks with Jiaming Ju, a second-generation Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner and founder of Kun Health, to examine autoimmune conditions through a TCM framework. They discuss why autoimmune disorders are more commonly observed in women and children and break down the underlying mechanisms of autoimmunity from a TCM perspective. The conversation explores how immune dysfunction is closely linked to the regulation of the digestive system and the nervous system, and how the imbalances in these systems can contribute to disease. The episode also covers the roles of genetics, kidney essence (jing) and the aging process in shaping long-term immune health.
