SUMMARY:Dr. Greg's Office Hours
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar \nI have had at various times in my career a desire to just go to an old professor/mentor and discuss an issue\, be it a patient’s problem\, a business question\, or just a philosophical conundrum. In other words\, I would love an intellectual salon to discuss the issues of my practice. That is what I am trying to create here. This is a non-CEU and absolutely free (at least for 2026) discussion of whatever we want as practicing Chinese medical professionals\, whether it is acupuncture\, herbs\, insurance\, business\, biomedicine\, current events affecting our profession\, or just a strange philosophical interchange. It is going to be a fun and fascinating time\, so bring your lunch\, or at least a nice beverage\, and join us!\nIf you have anything you would like to discuss\, please bring it to the webinar or\, if you want me to prepare an even better conversation\, give me a heads up by emailing me at DrGreg@integrativemedicinecouncil.org.

SUMMARY:Nine Drugs and Ten Herbs to Worry About
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar \nWe may not be able to predict all drug-herb interactions\, but we can determine potentials for interactions This seminar examines how to approach these potential drug-herb interactions.

SUMMARY:Herbs That Act Like Antibiotics and Antivirals
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar \nFor most of human history\, infections have been life threatening. In fact\, until the last hundred years or so\, they have been the leading cause of death.

This course takes a deep dive into herbs that act like antibiotic and antiviral drugs. We will be exploring how the drugs and herbs work from a bio- and Chinese medical point of view. Can we use these herbs to replace certain drugs? Can understanding these drugs help us understand these herbs at a new level? Please join us as we explore these herbs…

SUMMARY:Marketing Your Practice: Strategic Position & Target Market
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar \nWhen I taught practice management in schools\, I always used to say this is the most important class in the school (which few students actually believed until they were out in the real world). And if that was the most important course in the program\, the classes on marketing were the most important classes in the course AND the program. The most important aspect of a successful practice is getting patients in the door. This and our next course will take a close look at marketing. In this first course on marketing\, we will discuss our strategic position\, in other words\, what makes it different\, our target market\, risks of various approaches\, and other more theoretical aspects of marketing. We will make important decisions and lay the foundation for successful practice marketing. Don’t miss this crucial webinar for practice success.\nThis course is part of an ongoing series of classes in our Mastering Business for Acupuncturists series which looks at business\, practice\, and marketing with an emphasis on helping acupuncturists become as successful as possible. When one of is more successful\, we are all more successful and our profession benefits…

SUMMARY:Jiang Huang (Tumeric)\, Run Chang Wan (Moisten the Intestines Pill from Master Shen's Book)\, and Dong Chang Xia Cao (Cordyceps)
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar \nWe are going to be recording three episodes of the Sperb’s Herbs podcast. The first covers another Chinese single herb\, Jiang Huang (Tumeric)\, a useful Chinese herb in the invigorating blood subcategory that is also an important herb commonly used as an anti-inflammatory. Our second episode covers the Chinese formula Run Chang Wan (Moisten the Intestines Pill from Master Shen’s Book)\, from formulas that moisten the intestines and unblock the bowels subcategory. The third is one of the most expensive herbs used in Chinese medicine: Dong Chang Xia Cao (Cordyceps) from the tonify yang subcategory. Each episode of the podcast will go into great depth about a single herb or formula. Besides covering the basics of herbology including category\, and functions\, we will explore the history\, quality\, science\, pharmacology\, evidence\, and any potential interactions of each herb. And then there is always something a little quirky about an episode. Whether that is a unique story or an interesting perspective\, there will always be something different to learn about these herbs and formula!

SUMMARY:Treating Eczema and Psoriasis with Chinese Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar \nEczema and psoriasis\, though both quite common\, can be very difficult to treat from both a biomedical and Chinese medical perspective. This course takes a deep dive into these two conditions from both points of view. First\, we will explore the biomedical side of these conditions: what are they\, how are they diagnosed and monitored\, what are the current treatments (including drugs\, light therapy\, etc…) and how effective are they. Then we will look at potential Chinese medical diagnoses and how to treat them using acupuncture and herbs. Are we able to plot a course that combines the two perspectives to make a more effective treatment? Or is Chinese medicine alone enough? Let’s find out!

SUMMARY:Treating Fibromyalgia with Chinese Medicine
