What if ancient wisdom wasn’t old-fashioned — just overlooked science?

In this episode, we sit down with Alexander Heyne, a specialist in Traditional Chinese Medicine whose journey began not in a lab, but with a health crisis that modern medicine couldn’t solve. His search for answers took him from GI specialists’ offices to a small clinic run by a French herbalist, and eventually to the mountains and monasteries of China.

With training that bridges East and West, Alexander brings a rare perspective on healing — one that blends proven ancient herbal formulas with modern medical insights. His work challenges the “all or nothing” mindset in healthcare, showing how integration can lead to better results for everything from chronic gut issues to women’s reproductive health.

Guided by a sense of dharma and a passion for helping people reclaim their health, Alexander has built a practice rooted in results, intuition, and respect for centuries-old medical traditions that still have the power to transform lives today.

This isn’t about choosing tradition over technology — it’s about combining the best of both to achieve what neither could alone.
