In this episode of The AcuPro Show, I’m joined by the amazing Dr. Lixing Lao — President of the Virginia University of Integrative Medicine and one of the most influential voices in acupuncture today.

With over 40 years of clinical and research experience, Dr. Lao has helped shape the profession—from helping reclassify acupuncture with the FDA to mentoring the next generation of practitioners. This episode is packed with practical advice and inspiring insight on how to thrive as a modern acupuncturist.

✨ What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • How acupuncture needles became FDA-recognized medical devices
  • Why acupuncturists need to speak both TCM and Western medicine
  • How to explain acupuncture without using “Qi” or “meridian”
  • Tuina massage for pain and pediatric care
  • Dr. Lao’s top advice for students and new grads
  • The future of acupuncture in hospitals, insurance, and research

Whether you’re just starting or growing your practice, this episode will boost your confidence and expand your integrative care toolkit.
