9. Learn About a Wholistic Wellness Clinic Everyone’s Talking About In San Diego with The Owner Cristin Smith

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 04:00:00 -0800

Have you ever noticed how most Western doctors rarely work together? It can feel like you're stuck in a healthcare maze, with specialists who never communicate with each other and no treatment plan that actually makes you feel better.

That's where my guest, Cristin Smith, and her amazing holistic healthcare facility, Saffron & Sage, come in. Cristin herself went through a tough medical journey when she was in her mid-20s, being passed from one doctor to another without any real answers. That's when she turned to Eastern medicine.

Now, Cristin is the proud owner of Saffron and Sage, where Eastern and Western medical practitioners collaborate to provide personalized treatments for each patient. Cristin firmly believes that disease stems from trauma, toxicity, and negative thoughts. That's why she ensures that every patient is cared for in mind, body, and soul.

In this episode, Cristin will dive deep into her medical journey, starting with her discovery of tumors on her thyroid and the treatments of surgery and lifelong medication recommended by Western doctors. But Cristin wasn't satisfied with these options and embarked on a holistic health journey instead.

If you're tired of the same old approach to medicine and are looking for a fresh perspective, whether you're a patient or a practitioner, then this episode is a must-listen!
