The Science of Acupuncture & Qi
Meridians, fascia, and the electrical architecture of the human body.
In this episode of The Future of Wellness, we’re joined by Dr. Daniel Keown—medical doctor, acupuncturist, and author of The Spark in the Machine—to explore how qi, fascia, and embryology reveal a radical and elegant model of energy in the human body.
Drawing from both Eastern and Western medicine, Dr. Keown explains how acupuncture functions like electrical engineering, restoring the flow of qi across the body’s fascia-based meridian system. He explores the role of shen (spirit) in health, how morphogenetic fields inform development, and why chakras may be better understood as mini-brains embedded in the nervous system.
We also explore:
- The scientific basis for acupuncture
- Fascia as the primary tissue conducting qi
- Channel palpation as a diagnostic tool
- How embryology supports energetic theory
- The failures—and strengths—of Western medicine
- A new healthcare paradigm rooted in subtle energy
Dr. Keown’s work bridges ancient Chinese medicine with modern physiology, offering a bold vision for the future of healing.
