On this episode of WellBuilt, Jon spoke with Dr. Elana Weisberg, Director of Acupuncture at Tia. 

Tia is creating a modern medical home for women. Blending in-person and virtual care services, Tia’s care model integrates gynecology, primary care, mental health, and other evidence-based wellness services to treat women comprehensively. 

In their conversation, they got into Elana's journey to acupuncture. Elana was recommended acupuncture because of tendinitis and within a few sessions, her wrist was feeling better, and the treatments also helped with her mood, energy, and anxiety.

They got into how acupuncture can help people find a connection between their body and mind, and how doing so can support mental health. Elana dealt with an eating disorder for years, and how acupuncture helped her get better. 

They got into integrating acupuncture into more western medicine to promote whole-person health. Acupuncture is used before and after medical procedures at Tia, and they’re getting great feedback on their integrated approach and seeing amazing growth!
