Beyond Acupuncture: How Chinese Medicine Can Transform Your Health
03/05/2026 | 25 mins.
What has Chinese medicine ever done for you? In this episode of Own Your Health, Katie Brindle - Chinese medicine doctor, Yang Sheng practitioner and bestselling author with over 25 years of experience, busts the biggest myth about Traditional Chinese Medicine... that it's just acupuncture and herbs!
Discover how this 3,000 year old health system can transform the way you feel, look and live, using simple self-care techniques you can do at home for free. Katie breaks Chinese medicine down into three powerful pillars for modern life: improving circulation, learning to purge and nourish the body, and strengthening the five key organs (heart, lungs, liver, spleen and kidneys).
You'll learn why over 80% of modern illness is rooted in poor circulation, how cold showers, morning daylight walks, shaking and tapping can dramatically boost your energy, and why your liver holds far more than just toxins, including, according to Chinese medicine, the blueprint of your soul.

3 Ancient Chinese Techniques to Melt Stress Instantly
26/04/2026 | 16 mins.
In Part 2 of her stress response series, Katie Brindle shares three advanced techniques to take you beyond "relaxed yet energised" and all the way into a state of bliss.
You'll learn:

Spiritual breathing — how to extend the rescue breath by lingering at the bottom of the exhale, charging that empty space with positive energy, and guiding every cell in your body into blissful harmony

Kindness as medicine — the Daoist concept of 3,000 good deeds, why kindness is its own reward, and how compassion and forgiveness diffuse the liver energy at the heart of the stress response

Crystals in your pocket — the simple practice Katie helped popularise in the UK, why the pericardium and heart points in your palm make this so effective, and how to cleanse your crystal at the end of each day

Katie shares how stress isn't the enemy. A little stress strengthens the body. It's how we respond to it that matters. These are simple, portable techniques you can use anywhere, because you're already breathing anyway.
If you haven't yet, listen to Part 1 first for the foundational techniques this episode builds on.

Can You Sit Still for 10 Minutes? (Most People Can’t)
05/04/2026 | 16 mins.
Feeling wired, restless, and unable to switch off? This episode is your reset.
In this guided session, Katie Brindle shares a simple but powerful way to meditate — even if you’ve always struggled to “quiet your mind.” Because the truth is, most people aren’t failing at meditation… they’re just approaching it wrong.
Instead of forcing yourself to go from chaos to calm, Katie shows you how to meet your body where it is — using gentle movement, breath, and awareness to transition naturally into a deep state of rest.
Whether you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or just need a break from the noise, this is your permission to pause — and your guide to doing it properly.
Press play, get comfortable, and give yourself the rest your body’s been asking for.
