Ep 36. Healing and Wellness with Doctor of Chinese Medicine Erika Schultz

What if the key to your health lies in understanding the intricate dance between your body, your environment, and your history? In my latest episode of the Everyday Epigenetics: Raw, Real, Relatable podcast, I sat down with the brilliant Dr. Erika Schultz, a trailblazer in Chinese medicine, nutrition, and hormone balancing. Together, we unpacked the profound connections between trauma, detoxification, and personalized health strategies.

The Surprising Link Between Pickleball and Brain Health
We began the conversation with an unexpected yet vivid analogy: falling on pickleball courts as a metaphor for traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Dr. Schultz explained how trauma can lead to "zombie" cells—senescent cells that stick around, disrupting body functions. Clearing these cells, she emphasized, is essential for longevity and improving overall body function.

Phased Detoxification: Building Health from the Ground Up
Detox isn’t one-size-fits-all. Dr. Schultz shared her phased approach to detoxification, beginning at the cellular level. She detailed how her protocol starts with cleansing toxins, then moves to using liquid collagen for cellular repair. The final phase incorporates Chinese herbs to clear old blood and address individual needs, offering a highly personalized path to better health.

Tailored Healing for Complex Conditions
One of the most impactful parts of our conversation was Dr. Schultz’s collaborative approach to healthcare. She shared how she works with functional medicine practitioners to adapt protocols for patients sensitive to traditional herbal treatments, often starting with homeopathy. This resonated deeply with me, as I recalled my own experience with Lyme disease and how personalized solutions made all the difference in my healing journey.

From Personal Challenges to Professional Triumphs
Dr. Schultz’s own health story adds incredible depth to her work. Growing up with a seizure disorder, she faced challenges within conventional medicine. Over time, she reframed seizures as autoimmune issues, which shifted her approach and fueled her desire to integrate Chinese medicine into her practice. This pivot proved transformative during the COVID-19 pandemic, when she expanded her expertise and reached more patients than ever.

The Role of Phlegm in Chinese Medicine
Dr. Schultz’s explanation of phlegm production brought an entirely new perspective. Did you know your body produces phlegm as a defense mechanism against irritants like smoke or chemicals? Left unchecked, chronic phlegm can lead to the development of cysts, tumors, or other larger formations. This deep dive highlighted the intricate connections between seemingly minor symptoms and larger health concerns.

A Holistic Blueprint for Wellness
Throughout our conversation, we emphasized the importance of personalized care. From detox pathways to genetic adaptability, Dr. Schultz and I explored how a tailored approach allows individuals to thrive. Cookie-cutter programs just can’t address the complexities of our unique genetic blueprints or the specific challenges we face.

Creating a Healthier Future Through Collaboration
Toward the end of the episode, Dr. Schultz and I discussed the value of collaboration in healthcare. She stressed the need for practitioners to work together, sharing knowledge and resources to provide patients with the most effective care possible. Her vision for non-competitive, patient-centered collaboration is truly inspiring.

Embrace the Power of Personalized Health
This episode is more than a conversation—it’s a call to action. If you’re ready to take control of your health, start by exploring how trauma, detoxification, and personalized strategies can work together to unlock your full potential. Dr. Schultz’s practice, Paramount Wellness, makes this approach accessible to anyone through resources and remote consultations.
