Together, they explore how chi can be understood as ATP, how quantum physics parallels yin and yang, and how modern science is validating ancient TCM wisdom. They also dive into the future of acupuncture, including AI-powered diagnostic tools, hybrid education models, global collaborations, and the movement toward recognition of acupuncturists as primary care providers.
