Discover your TCM body constitution

The podcast explores the concept of body constitution in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), highlighting China's new national standard for its classification and identification. The discussion emphasizes that body constitution, reflecting individual strengths, weaknesses, and responses to environmental factors, is a long-standing element in Chinese culture. The hosts explain that the new standard aims to standardize TCM practices, enabling doctors to provide more tailored treatments. They share personal experiences with a body constitution test, drawing parallels to the MBTI personality test in terms of self-understanding and social engagement. The importance of proactive health management through understanding one's body type, diet, exercise, and emotional well-being is underscored, advocating for preventative measures rather than reactive treatments.
