Here’s what you can expect from this episode:

Are you tired of traditional Western medicine’s approach to treating your health conditions? You’re not alone. Many people in the U.S. are turning to Eastern medicine for alternative treatments. Today, I have a special guest, Cristin Smith, who will share her inspiring journey to founding Saffron and Sage, a holistic medical practice in San Diego, CA.

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.

At Saffron and Sage, Cristin combines the best of both worlds—Eastern and Western medicine—to treat patients, taking into account their physical and emotional symptoms. Whether you’re looking for alternative medical treatments or are interested in starting your own holistic healthcare practice, this episode is a must-listen!
