TITLE: You’ll Never Achieve Balance by Doing Extreme Things
SHOWNOTES:
In this episode of The Original Medicine Podcast, MG McCullough takes a closer look at the hidden costs of modern health trends like cold plunging, fasting, and intense heat exposure (think saunas and hot workouts).
While these practices are marketed as tools for building resilience, MG offers a very different perspective—one rooted in the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine. He explains how extremes, no matter how trendy, can drain our yin energy, disrupt our natural balance, and leave us more inflamed, exhausted, and out of sync.
This episode is a powerful reminder that true health isn’t about chasing stress—it’s about restoring balance.
