Episode #4 PCOS and bridging the gap between research and practice with Sandro Graca

This is a great in depth interview with Sandro Graca. This guy is super relatable and liable, driven and successful, authentic and real. He is so willing to share his experiences, thoughts, ideas, and feelings about his career in TCM and acupuncture, and give any pearls he can so those listening can learn.  His overarching message is "...just dive in and start doing what needs to get done, be ok with making mistake - but make sure you learn from them, and then keep dong what needs to get done. It takes 20 years to become an overnight success!" This is well worth the listen, and you surely will want to get to know Sandro after watching.  ~ Spence https://thegoldencabinet.ca Email sandro@acuvlog.ie Website http://www.acuvlog.ie Professional Profile Licentiate in TCM (2007 - Irish College of TCM) Cert.
