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:Treating Fibromyalgia with Chinese Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar \nFibromyalgia is a complicated and debilitating condition. Western medicine does not have great treatment strategies. However\, research shows that acupuncture can be helpful. Add herbs into the treatment strategy\, and many patients are able to minimize their symptoms. It is still a difficult condition that changes with age and environmental factors\, but Chinese medicine is probably the best approach to dealing with its vagaries. This course will look at fibromyalgia from both biomedical and Chinese points of view\, and discuss Chinese medical diagnostics and therapeutics. Participants will finish this course with a real-world approach to treating this condition.

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. A discussion of basic pharmacology\, including the ADME scheme (absorption\, distribution\, metabolism\, and elimination) and the therapeutic index\, form the foundation of this understanding. The participant will leave with real skills to assess potential interactions and the ability to determine which are important\, which aren’t\, and which may be in the future. Both the nine drugs and ten herbs most prone to drug-herb interactions will be discussed. These drugs and herbs are based on an evidence based approach. and discusses the practical application of the ADME scheme and therapeutic index.
