Show Notes

As you may well know, here on the GrowWise Be Well podcast we truly believe that Oriental medicine is an absolute live saver. Today on the show we are so fortunate to welcome Steve Delvo to help us all understand just how important Oriental medicine is. Steve is a doctor of Oriental medicine, first raised in North London, England, and then moved to the Philippines. On his 9th birthday, he apprenticed to Grand Master Lee until the age of 19, studying traditional martial arts and Oriental medicine. From there, he moved back to the States where he did a two-year apprenticeship under Master Rolfer; rolfing is facial release deep tissue massage. After that, Steve moved to San Francisco working intensely on professional athletes, doing Oriental medicine, deep tissue massage, and postural work. Steve’s journey then took him back to Asia for further training and practice. He then moved to Sante Fe, New Mexico to do a four-year accelerated program to obtain his Masters Degree. In Tucson, Arizona he became the Dean of an Oriental Medicine School, and finally, he moved on to Hamilton, Montana where he has spent the last 20 years in private practice. During our interview, we dive into the concepts of understanding the body and its energies as yin and yang. We also unpack the true meaning of illness in the terms of unbalance, why stagnation causes the body to be in a state of dis-ease, and so much more. So if Oriental medicine is a tool that resonates with your life, stay tuned for part one of this incredible conversation!
