Mason is thrilled to welcome Rhonda Chang to the podcast today. Rhonda is a traditional healer who specialises in the art and healing principals of yinyang wuxing. After becoming disillusioned during her studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine, in her native home of China, Rhonda decided to go her own way. Straying from the path of convention to re-educate herself through the exploration and deep analysis of the classical texts. After 30 years of research and practice Rhonda published two books: Chinese Medicine Masquerading As Yi - A Case of Chinese Self-colonisation and Yinyang Wuxing Spirit, Body & Healing, and continues to raise awareness around the true origin and principals of Classical Chinese Medicine. Today's chat is truly eye opening and informative. Rhonda is a rebel with a cause, and it is an absolute delight to have her with us, sharing her wisdom and knowledge with integrity and conviction.   Mason and Rhonda discuss: -The difference between Classical Chinese Medicine and Modern Chinese Medicine, which otherwise known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) -The concept of 'Yi'. -Wuxing - Five Element Theory. -Rhonda's process of "de-colonising" herself from the standardised TCM curriculum she was originally trained in. -Symptoms vs diagnoses; how Westernised TCM is still operating within a symptom based ideology. -Rhonda's top tips for wellness.   Resources: Rhonda Website Rhonda Podcast Rhonda Books   Rhonda Facebook Group   Check Out The Transcript Here: https://www.superfeast.com.au/blogs/articles/why-chinese-medicine-is-failing-us-with-rhonda-chang-ep-80
