From Paediatrics to Acupuncture: Dr. Sunila Prasad's Holistic Transformation

Episode Overview

  • Dr. Sunila Prasad shares her experiences and insights into the practice of acupuncture, its personalized approach, and its potential in treating various conditions.

It's about prevention more than reaction. Unfortunately, with what we have with the NHS at the moment, a lot of it is reaction because you just don't have that time. GPs don't have that time; they're working so hard, aren't they? Just those 10 minutes, they're firefighting. Western medicine has its place; it is essential. You can't have one without the other, I don't think.
Imagine shifting from a bustling A+E department to the serene practice of acupuncture. That’s the incredible journey of Dr. Sunila Prasad, who traded her paediatric doctor coat for a holistic healer's touch. In this episode, Dr. Jude, also known as Dr. Body Mind Soul, sits down with Dr. Prasad to uncover the motivations behind her dramatic career change and how she plans to blend Western medical knowledge with Eastern healing traditions in her new clinic.
They dive into the types of conditions that benefit from a Chinese approach, discuss lifestyle advice and mental health, and tackle the intriguing question: why does acupuncture work wonders for some but not others? Dr. Prasad also opens up about the side effects of acupuncture and shares her personal experiences of transitioning from a conventional medical role to a more integrative one.
If you’ve ever been curious about how ancient practices like acupuncture can complement modern medicine, or if you’re contemplating a career shift yourself, this episode offers a fascinating and heartfelt perspective.
