What struck me most about this conversation is how Dr. Ee truly embodies the principles she teaches – from self-care and gratitude to mindfulness and savoring life’s simple moments. Join us as we unravel the essence of health, simplicity, and the power of focusing on what truly matters
With > 20 years experience as a doctor, she shares tips and strategies on how to live a life of self-compassion. She started being curious about her cultural background, paid homage to her Chinese ancestry, studied traditional Chinese medicine and now conducting research on yoga, exercise and nutraceuticals.
It’s not about outsourcing health, she explains the difference between active and passive management of health and her passion for empowering individuals to take charge, creating a sustainable ripple in their life’s journey
She describes acupuncture and the evidence where it works the most. We go personal on her own trials and tribulations as a working mother and how by sharing her story, the courage to be vulnerable and in doing so, she gave permission for others to do so. And in doing so, she knew she wasn’t alone and unlocked the power of community.
Action point:
This episode is a reminder that health lies in simplicity and self-compassion. Just as Dr. Ee shared her journey, may you find the courage to seek help and peel away the layers that hide your true self.

Take a moment to reflect on what resonated with you most in this conversation. Embrace vulnerability, foster connections, and remember that your journey is intertwined with those around you.
