Ep. 179 ”Upstream” (Diary Entry 1:2 with John Simmonds)

So excited to introduce my friend and acupuncturist, John Simmonds. John is smart with his health and well-being, so he doesn't fetter his life with social media; Instead, you can find John and all the brilliant services he offers, on his website that you can view here.

The title of this show was inspired by the journey of the Koi as John has this Japanese legend tattooed to him; 1/2 of this "koi journey" was tattooed on John's left side, by your host (Amy C Nicholls).

Koi, Yin Yang, holistic medicine as well as some amazing entertainment recommendations, are found in just this first part of John's Diary Entry. We do hope you'll come back next week for the second half, but as always, we want to thank you for your listening time today.

God Bless you Listeners as well as you John!
