Episode 80: In this episode of Bioenergetics Beat, host Heather Gray sits down with Dr. Tom Ingegno, DACM, to explore the history, science, and self-care benefits of cupping therapy—a 4,000-year-old healing practice that's making a powerful comeback in modern wellness.

Dr. Tom, a licensed acupuncturist and integrative health expert with 25 years of experience, shares his journey from pre-med to becoming a champion of East Asian medicine. He breaks down the fundamentals of acupuncture, vagus nerve regulation, and why these therapies are vital in addressing chronic pain, emotional stress, and immune dysregulation.

Dr. Tom is the founder of Charm City Integrative Health, a leading-edge clinic offering holistic care for inflammation, pain, and chronic conditions. A published author, educator, and co-host of the Irreverent Health podcast, Dr. Tom combines traditional wisdom with modern science to create accessible wellness strategies.

You’ll Learn:

• The history and global origins of cupping therapy, from Egyptian texts to household remedies
  

• How cupping promotes circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports lymphatic detox
  

• Why cupping is effective for pain relief, digestive issues, and respiratory health
  

• The science behind acupuncture and its impact on the autonomic nervous system and mental health
  

• How to safely use silicone or plastic cupping sets at home for daily wellness
  

Dr. Tom also discusses his book, The Cupping Book, a practical guide designed to empower individuals to use this ancient tool safely and effectively at home—no fire or glass needed.
