Acupuncture for Advancing the MAHA Agenda: Strategic Points

In this video I examine a newly released document which outlines the strategic goals of the MAHA agenda. My purpose is to outline the various ways in which acupuncture and the acupuncture profession as a whole can advance this agenda. The reality is, the shifting medical paradigm of the MAHA movement actually aligns with the foundational philosophy which underlies acupuncture practice. Acupuncture is a holistic, whole-person approach to healthcare, and it is capable of treating a wide range of chronic diseases, many of which are focal points outlines in this strategic document. I seek to make the point that acupuncturists already have the tools to effectively contribute to treating the chronic disease epidemic, we are already doing so in daily practice, our philosophy aligns with the new paradigm, and we need to raise awareness and educate the public, policy makers, and regulatory decision makers, to utilize acupuncture in this developing healthcare paradigm and approach, for the benefit of patients. I have included the strategy report document below for reference.
