EP 30 The East-West Alchemist: Understanding Nutrition & Supplementation For Better Health With Dr. Matt Dorsey
Doctor Matt Dorsey is a Nutritional Health Coach, Acupuncturist, Chief Scientific Officer and Formulator for CHOQ Supplements.
Dr. Dorsey describes himself as being ‘medically bilingual’, since the Eastern and Western medical systems are essentially different languages.
He has spent the last twelve years studying and practicing Eastern Medicine, clinical nutrition, acupuncture, herbology, pharmacology, QiGong, psychology, and anything else that falls under the umbrella of ‘Integrative Medicine’.
He can approach any health condition using a variety of different lenses, although he draws most heavily on his training in western clinical nutrition, herbology, lifestyle medicine, acupuncture, and biochemistry.
Dr. Dorsey works as the Chief Scientific Officer & Formulator for CHOQ and runs his own practice working one-on-one with clients through The East-West Alchemist.
