NEW EPISODE — Midlife Talkshop Podcast
Ep. 19: Needles, Nerves & New Energy: How Acupuncture Can Transform Midlife Health
“Shift happens.” — Dr. Keith
Join us this week as we sit down with Dr. Keith Bell, a nationally recognized Holistic Health expert who has spent more than 25 years studying and practicing Oriental medicine and the healing arts. He is the founder of Oriental Medicine Specialists, Richmond’s premier holistic health center and the first clinic in Richmond to offer Traditional Chinese Medicine, Classical Chinese Medicine, and Integrative Fertility Medicine.
This conversation is packed with insight on how acupuncture can help regulate hormones, calm the nervous system, improve sleep, reduce inflammation, and help release stored trauma from the body. After all, “the body remembers what the mind forgets”.
Topics we cover:• Hormones & perimenopause• Stress + nervous system healing• Sleep & the “wired but tired” feeling• Joint pain, headaches & inflammation• Breathwork, meditation & mindset shifts• The healing power of community & connection
One of many “Golden nuggets” he shares— Just 2–5 minutes of deep breathing can shift the body into “rest and reset” mode. No time? A 15-second hug can offer similar calming benefits.
