From A+E to Acupuncture with Dr Sunila Prasad

From A+E to Acupuncture with Dr Sunila Prasad

Dr Sunila Prasad was working as a paediatric doctor at Croydon University Hospital when I met her a couple of years ago in the A+E department. But little did I know she was studying Acupuncture behind the scenes to prepare herself to leave the medical profession and open a holistic clinic - which she is about to do!  

She comes onto the podcast to explain why she has made such a transition - and how she plans to combine her western and eastern medical training in her new practice. 

In this episode we cover:

  • What kind of conditions lend themselves to the chinese approach? 
  • Lifestyle advice and mental health. 
  • Why does acupuncture work for some people and not others? 
  • The side effects of acupuncture
  • The impact of making the career transition to acupuncture.

To contact Dr Sunila you can find her on instagram @sp.acupunture or on her website www.spacupuncture.org.
