Growing Up With Chinese Mothers, Allergy Season & Menopause with Dr. Debbie Lee

Conversations With Your Chinese Auntie

My guest today is Dr. Debbie Lee. Debbie is a Registered Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She is a mama to two adorable little humans and is one of my close friends with whom I can talk about my feelings and emotions.

In this episode, we talk about our Chinese mothers who used to make us drink herbal decoctions, and we might or might not have poured the decoctions down the sink when our mothers were not paying attention. My mother never found out, but Debbie got caught. :)

We also discuss herbal medicine, how COVID affected the businesses in Chinatown, especially herbal stores, how to strengthen your body with the upcoming allergy season, and what one can do as one enters menopause.

Dr. Debbie Lee is a Registered Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Her studies include completing a two-month practicum at Taiwan’s China Medical University Hospital, the leading teaching hospital in the country. Debbie has a special interest in treating auto-immune disorders. Incorporating her Kinesiology background, she effectively treats any pain issues, including sciatica, shoulders, neck and back pain, headaches and migraines, to name a few.
