Diamantis Koukouvinos who is the doctor of Chinese medicine was in the spring of 2021 in two episodes of the Holy Crap Podcast, which are some of our most listened to episodes. Here we have summarized some of our strongest take-aways from the interview. Listen to the entire interview here .

1. The psychological becoming is the root of all stress and most chronic ailments. It's like we have an internal wolf chasing us to constantly rush forward and strive to become something. We forget that we cannot become anything without already being.
   
   
2. Our ego is born in time and dies in time.
   
   
3. We are all programmed to believe that we need to be productive and have many projects going, which often leads us to crash, especially those of us born with dominant feminine energy (Yin).
   
   
4. The psychological stress settles in the liver according to Chinese medicine.
   
   
5. Tip for anyone with performance anxiety: Take an esoteric inner journey. If we have an inner emotional black hole, we will try to fill it in different ways - some buy clothes while others collect diplomas. This results in us getting sick.
   
   
6. A first step in our journey to better health is to start looking at yourself, your patterns, your childhood and if you have been deprived of the opportunity to be your authentic self.
   
   
7. Society only rewards a yang-centered lifestyle as long as we allow it.
   
   
8. Begin to notice that there is an inner voice and that voice is not necessarily yours. Become aware of it and then be honest with yourself, only you know what you want.
   
   
9. Stop and stop escaping through external stimuli all the time.
   
   
10. You don't need to look for answers, you have everything you need within you.
