Dr. Tom Ingegno, DACM, walked away from the pre-med grind and never looked back. A random postcard in the mail led him to East Asian Medicine and today he runs a thriving private acupuncture practice in Baltimore where he sees up to 16 patients a shift and loves every single one.

He says he would "die with his scrubs on." That is not a warning. That's the goal.

In this episode of Dream Job Cafe, Dr. Tom Ingegno, DACM, gets real about all of it.

1) What East Asian Medicine actually treats (hint: it catches problems before they become emergencies)
2) Who should and honestly should NOT become an acupuncturist
3) Why he believes acupuncture is not as AI-proof as people think
4) The hard truths about building a solo private practice nobody warns you about

If you have been curious about acupuncture, are dealing with something that conventional medicine has not quite figured out, or you just want to hear a really honest career story, watch this.

And if you are in the Baltimore area and want to experience what Dr. Tom Ingegno, DACM does firsthand, book an appointment at charmcityintegrative.com

So proud to see Dr. Tom Ingegno, DACM, quoted in this article on, "How Meditation Can Calm Your Brain" where he outlines how meditation can help calm the brain and support the body through stress.

His reminder is simple but powerful: meditation does not have to be perfect or lengthy to be meaningful.

In a world that keeps pulling us into overdrive, even a few minutes of stillness can help restore balance, soften the nervous system and bring us back to ourselves. Link to the article is at the bottom.

Ingegno explains that consistency is more important than duration. “Have some compassion, some tenderness for yourself,” he advises. That could mean starting by meditating for just two minutes and working your way up. Don’t get down on yourself if it feels like nothing. Think of your practice as a work in progress.

How can I use meditation to fight stress?
A major benefit of meditation is that it can help reduce stress and anxiety. Even a quick breathing exercise, Ingegno says, might be able to get your body out of fight-or-flight mode. That’s the reaction it has when your brain perceives you’re in danger.

But if you’re stressed all the time, your body’s constantly in fight-or-flight mode and that can be bad for your health. Chronic stress increases your risk of developing:

• Depression
• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• High blood pressure
• Skin problems

Mediation can act as a way to de-stress by quieting the mind, says Ingegno. Imagine mediation as a way to sweep away chaotic thoughts from your brain and lead you to a more calming way of thinking.

How do I start meditating?

It may sound backwards, but using your smartphone is a great way to start learning how to meditate. Both Cooper and Ingegno recommend apps such as Calm and Headspace, which offer short, guided meditations on a range of topics. For example, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, M.D., worked with Calm on creating a free five-part series of guided meditations.

While many resources will focus on particular types of meditation, Ingegno emphasizes that there’s no one right way to do it. “Whatever gets you to that calm relaxed state is going to work,” he says.

If you've been curious about Infrared Sauna Therapy, now is a great time to try it. We are offering 50% off all month and honestly, it is one of the most relaxing things you can do for your body.

Far-infrared heat works differently than a traditional sauna. It warms you from the inside out at a lower temperature, which means a deeper sweat, better circulation, and real relief for sore muscles and stress without feeling like you are in an oven.

Our own Dr. Tom Ingegno, DACM was recently quoted in a national health feature (check it out below) about infrared saunas. He has been recommending this therapy for years and now you can experience it at Charm City for half the price through May 31st. Cick on the sunflower pic to find out about some new therapies we're really excited about sharing.

Please give us a call to book your session at 443-869-6584 and mention 50% Off Infrared Sauna when booking for the special discount.

“Infrared (far-infrared) saunas utilize infrared light to directly heat the body at lower ambient temperatures (120–140°F), resulting in deep sweat,” says Dr. Tom Ingegno, DACM.
“Infrared models are everywhere and come in a variety of setups and price ranges. They may offer modest benefits for relaxation, circulation, or skin rejuvenation. Theoretically, ‘heat is heat,’ and while milder, there is still a significant improvement in circulation.” You can read the full article here https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/this-compact-indoor-sauna-is-the-best-wellness-investment-i-ve-ever-made/ar-AA1ZWWFw?ocid=socialshare
