About

Ready to lead a healthier, simpler, more meaningful life? AcuTake can help.

“How does acupuncture work?” is a popular, contentious question these days. Many people want the answer but most are looking for it in the wrong place. You’re in the right place.

AcuTake is an online publication created to improve acupuncture education and access. Our goal is to help you understand how acupuncture really works—in the real world, on real people—so that you can use it as a tool for creating the life you want.

Understanding acupuncture does not come from clinical trials. It comes from learning to make sense of acupuncture theory and hearing stories about how acupuncture changes people’s lives.

Acupuncture works by inspiring new perspectives on health and life. It helps us see the world differently—with more hope, openness, intention, gratitude, compassion, patience and clarity.

AcuTake is your guide to understanding and implementing this new world view.

When people realize the true benefits of acupuncture, they can’t help but want more of it. They demand it. This, ultimately, is the only reliable path to improved access to acupuncture.

So why is improved access to acupuncture important?

Under the mainstream medical model—riddled with bureaucracy, over testing, pharmaceutical dependence, and rigid research practices—we are steadily growing sicker, heavier and unhappier. Acupuncture is an effective, safe and low-cost antidote to this vicious cycle. It prioritizes context and individuality over signs and symptoms. It empowers people over systems.

But it’s not just about healthcare. Acupuncture can help us feel unstuck in all aspects of life. On everything from the way we do business to the way we interact with loved ones to the way we use technology, acupuncture can teach us how to live better.

AcuTake does not distribute medical advice nor promote acupuncture as a panacea. AcuTake is merely a seed, an introduction of certain acupuncture-based ideas intended to help you discover the true meaning of health.
