The Story No One Has Told Properly Yet.
One in three Americans is already using integrative medicine. Almost none of them learned about it from a doctor on television. That gap is your story. Dr. Tom Ingegno is your expert.
He is not a guru and he is not selling supplements. He is a licensed, board-certified Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine with a quarter century of patient outcomes, a former regulatory chairman, and a Johns Hopkins and Walter Reed lecturer who can explain it in four minutes or four hours.
His clinic, Charm City Integrative Health, celebrates its 10th anniversary in June 2026 and was called the Future of Medicine by NYT bestselling author and futurist David Houle.
Your viewers will share this segment. Your audience will remember this guest. That is the standard Dr. Tom Ingegno holds himself to every time he speaks.
On Camera
Dr. Tom is a natural on camera: clear, credible, and compelling without a script.
Dr. Tom Ingegno, DACM
Dr. Tom Ingegno, DACM, built his practice around a single conviction: that ancient medicine and modern science are not opposites. They are partners. And the patient in front of you deserves every tool that works, regardless of how old that tool is.
Over 25 years in clinical practice, that conviction became a clinic, a board chairmanship, a university curriculum, a patient handbook, a bestselling practitioner guide, and a podcast reaching tens of thousands of listeners. Charm City Integrative Health, celebrating its 10th anniversary in June 2026, was called the Future of Medicine by NYT bestselling author and futurist David Houle.
As former Chair of the Maryland Board of Acupuncture, Dr. Tom helped rewrite the state's scope-of-practice law. He has lectured at Johns Hopkins and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, and taught at New York College of Health Professions and Pacific College of Oriental Medicine.
He is the author of You Got Sick: Now What? and The Cupping Book, and co-hosts the Irreverent Health podcast. His clinic blends acupuncture, cupping, red light therapy, salt therapy, and lifestyle coaching around one goal: reducing inflammation and regulating the immune system.
Integrative medicine is not alternative care. It is essential care. The difference between those two words is a generation of patients told there is nothing left to try.

Chronic inflammation is the unifying mechanism underneath America's top killers. Dr. Tom bridges 25 years of clinical practice with peer-reviewed research and delivers a framework immediately actionable for clinicians, administrators, and patients. This is not a wellness talk. It is a clinical argument for a different model of care.
Dr. Tom, author of The Cupping Book, moves past the cultural moment into the physiology, safety profile, and clinical protocols practitioners need. Covers musculoskeletal, respiratory, and nervous system presentations with evidence-based protocols for each.
Burnout is a nervous system problem before it is a productivity problem. Dr. Tom teaches three immediately applicable techniques adapted for the workplace. No equipment needed. Every participant leaves with tools they can use before their next meeting.
