Own Your Health

In this episode of Own Your Health, Katie Brindle looks at why hay fever is affecting more people than ever before, and why pollen might not actually be the real problem. Drawing on the principles of Chinese medicine, Katie explains how stress, inflammation, digestion, sleep, and modern lifestyle habits could all be contributing to worsening symptoms.
Katie shares practical techniques designed to help relieve hay fever symptoms fast, including breathing exercises, acupressure, body tapping, gua sha, sleep-supporting rituals, and simple changes to food and daily habits. She also explains the connection between the lungs, immune system, stress response, and inflammation — and why strengthening the body may be more important than simply avoiding pollen.
If you’re tired of sneezing, itchy eyes, blocked sinuses and relying on antihistamines every summer, Katie offers a completely different perspective on hay fever and what you can do about it naturally.

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.

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.

 Anxiety 

 Burnout 

 Poor sleep

If you're lying wide awake at 2am convinced you could run the country, this episode is for you! Katie shares a brand new technique she learned working with renowned shaman Anna Hunt, and it's unlike anything she's covered before.
Drawing on the ancient Chinese Zi Wu energy clock, Katie reveals why the hours between 1 and 3am are so prone to wakefulness, which zodiac power animal governs that window, and how embodying its energy can pull you straight back into deep sleep. She walks you through the full buffalo meditation live, so you can practise it now and have it ready the moment you need it most.
