08-18-26 From Search & Rescue to Skincare: The Science of Cosmetic Acupuncture with Dr. Alexia Lindell
Before she was helping people look and feel their best, Dr. Alexia Lindell was a Coast Guard search and rescue coordinator — saving lives while quietly struggling with her own: insomnia, chronic fatigue, TMJ, acid reflux, and stress that wouldn’t quit. Acupuncture changed that so profoundly, she left her military career to become one.
Today, Dr. Lindell is the founder of Qi Society, a boutique acupuncture practice in Worcester, MA, and a Doctor of Acupuncture licensed by the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine. In this episode, she breaks down what acupuncture actually is (and isn’t), walks us through her specialty — cosmetic acupuncture, including how it works, what to expect, and how results build over time — and shares how she also uses acupuncture to support scar recovery, fertility, migraines, and nervous system regulation.
Whether you’re acupuncture-curious, chasing a more natural approach to aging well, or just trying to manage stress in a chaotic world, this conversation offers a grounded, practical look at what treatment really involves — and how to find a practitioner you can trust.

- Common myths and misconceptions, debunked
- Cosmetic acupuncture: the process, what to expect, and realistic results over time
