Ayurveda vs. Traditional Chinese Medicine: What's the Difference? with Key Reteff

 Ayurveda and TCM are two of the world's oldest and continuously practiced systems of medicine. They developed in different cultures, use different language, and have their own unique diagnostic framework. Yet, when you begin looking beneath the surface, there are some fascinating parallels: Prana and Chi, the Five Elements, constitutional medicine, food as medicine, the relationship between our internal environment, and the seasons and natural world around us. Today, I am joined by Key Reteff, founder of Holistic University, a wellness and retreat company creating immersive experiences designed to reconnect people with their health, themselves, and the natural world. 

Key's work brings together different healing traditions and modalities, which makes him the perfect person for a conversation we've been wanting to have for a long time: how does Ayurveda compare to traditional Chinese medicine? In this episode, Key and Sasha explore where these two systems overlap, where they fundamentally differ, and what each tradition can teach us about what it actually means to practice holistic medicine.
