About Dr. Kristen Lum

Kristen Lum, LAc, isn't chasing symptoms. She's after the pattern underneath them. Founder of Lum Acupuncture in Brentwood, Los Angeles, Kristen trained in the Jeffrey Yuen lineage of Classical Chinese Medicine, a tradition that predates the standardized TCM most people are familiar with. Her clinical roots go back to an oncology setting in Santa Fe, where she worked alongside an oncologist, learning firsthand how acupuncture supports a body already under enormous strain. That experience shaped everything that came after. Today her practice blends classical and somatic acupuncture, cosmetic acupuncture, microneedling, custom Chinese herbal formulas, functional nutrition, and lifestyle guidance. No single lane. Digestion, sleep, skin, mood, cycles: in Chinese medicine, these were never separate systems, and Kristen treats them that way. Root causes get the attention here, not just the symptom in front of her. Chronic bloating, anxiety, stubborn skin concerns, low energy: these often trace back to the same terrain, where the gut and the nervous system are constantly talking to each other. Neither one runs the show. They co-regulate, and when one gets stuck, so does the other. For patients who need more structure, the ZenBelly Reset is a 6-month program built around lab work and telemedicine support, designed to ease stress, anxiety, digestive concerns, weight, and bloating through a personalized nutrition and wellness plan. Kristen founded Lum Acupuncture in 2015 and has been ranked the #1 acupuncturist in Brentwood by BusinessRate. She's in-network with Cigna, and accepts Aetna, GEHA, Keenan, and Blue Cross as out-of-network benefits. Curious whether Classical Chinese Medicine fits what you're dealing with? That's usually the first conversation.
