I Ching

James Legge

The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is an ancient Chinese divination text that dates back to the Western Zhou period (1000–750 BC). It evolved over time to include philosophical commentaries known as the Ten Wings. The book is used for divination through the manipulation of yarrow stalks or coins to produce hexagrams, each with its own interpretation. James Legge's translation, part of the Sacred Books of the East series, provides a comprehensive and detailed interpretation of the text, including its historical and philosophical significance. The I Ching has been influential in East Asian philosophical thought and has been studied for centuries for its insights into moral decision-making and the processes of change.

What if you could live longer, age slower, and glow from the inside out without chasing fads or fighting your body?

In this illuminating conversation, I sit down with Jiaming Ju, a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner and researcher who reveals how ancient Chinese wisdom can heal your body, balance your emotions, and awaken your natural vitality.

Born in China and now practicing in the West, Jiaming bridges two worlds, ancient healing and modern science, to show us that longevity isn’t luck or genetics… it’s rhythm, awareness, and daily choices.

Together, we unpack how your energy systems shape everything from your skin and sleep to your hormones and mood. You’ll learn why prevention (not treatment) is the secret to graceful aging, and how simple rituals like mindful eating, herbal support, and deep rest can restore your body’s natural harmony.

If you’ve ever felt curious about how to heal at the root, or you’re craving more energy, balance, and radiance, this episode is your invitation to experience medicine as art, energy, and deep remembrance.
