In this episode, Dr. George and John talk with popular raw food chef Dara Dubinet. Dara is an award-winning chef and YouTube personality and she has been incorporating tonic herbs into her recipes for years. Dara’s enthusiasm for healthy living is apparent as she explained to us how she got started in raw food and why she follows a raw food program. As a teacher, she has learned many tips for how to incorporate more raw into your lifestyle, even if you don’t want to commit 100%. Energetically, a raw food diet is more damp and cold and good digestion requires warmth and dryness, so Dara explains how she uses herbs to keep her energy balanced and to support a raw diet in the long term. Dara is also excited about Feng Shui and how the energy of your living space relates to the Qi and energy in your life. She shares some great resources with everyone who might be interested in learning more about Feng shui. Other topics we cover include what herbs Dara always travels with, how to use herbs to manage inflammation, and why clean energetic thinking is critical for a clean body.

In this episode, Dr. George and John about the Art of Eating. All of us need to eat, but how many of us spend time thinking about how we chew, the energetics of the foods we eat, the environment where we eat, and our philosophical approach to enjoying each meal? Listen to Dr. George talk about why all these variables are important and also why people say it’s not good to drink too much liquid with your meal—or if you do, why you should avoid things like hot coffee or a cold soda. Is there an ideal way of eating that is associated with the particular constitution of our body? Does the time of day that we eat change how well our body digests? What is one simple habit that we can adopt in the morning that will help overall digestion? The Yin and Yang of foods is also explored as well as different energetic body types and how to feed each type, plus much more. Tune in now and get the scoop on maximizing your digestion!

In this podcast with Dr. George Lamoureux, we get to the third of the Three Treasures, Shen. In this episode, Dr. George and John discuss two potent Shen balancing formulas. All the Treasures are important, but Shen is perhaps the most important, since all of these Chinese formulas ultimately are intended to nourish and nurture this special creative and spiritual aspect of ourselves. Shen relates to the Heart, Blood, and Liver, so the herbs we describe today all affect these organs and systems in the body. Any disturbance to the Shen has an impact on preventing us from achieving our full potential, so it’s smart for us to keep Shen in balance, allowing us to live fully the life we were meant to have. The extended name of one of these Shen balancing formulas is “The Emperor of Heaven’s Pill to Tonify the Heart. Can you guess which formula that refers to? The second formula we discuss is Peaceful Spirit. Who doesn’t need more calm and harmony in their lives? If you suffer from any kind of grief or loss, are in recovery or just want to feel uplifted, you will want to learn more about this beautiful formula. Visit www.JingHerbs.com now!

In this episode, Dr. George and John and I talk about formulas for Qi and Blood. Qi is considered the “Commander” of Blood and Blood is the “Mother” of Qi, so these two systems are related and that is why we discuss them together. We recommend taking herbs every day because tonic herbalism focuses on protecting against disharmony and preventing deficiency. If we are proactive and stay on top of our health, we can stay in balance as much as possible and achieve ongoing health and wellness. If, for whatever reason (usually stress of some kind), we lose balance, then tonic herbs also help bring us back into alignment. This episode will shed light on various formulas that help to maintain this balance and also address those times when we might feel a lack of energy or weakness in the body. Some of the formulas we go into detail about include: The 4 Gentlemen, Ginseng & Astragalus, and Ginseng & Longan, describing the activity, purpose and proportion of each of the ingredients, and how they move various energies in the body. We talk about who benefits most from each of these formulas and also offer tips on how best to integrate a new formula into your existing routine. Listen to this podcast now to learn why tonic herbs and formulas for Qi and Blood help to raise your vibration, and assist you in making better choices on a daily basis! Visit www.JingHerbs.com now!

This is Dr. George and in our latest podcast, John and I delve deeper into the theory behind building optimally balanced formulas according to classical Chinese medicine. We start off with Jing formulas, the most important being Rehmannia 6. Rehmannia 6 is an incredibly important “Mother” formula based on which many other formulas have been created. Which six ingredients make up this powerful formula and specifically what does each one do in the body? How much of each ingredient is represented in a standard dose? How can the base formula be modified to address things like excess heat or dryness? How would you know which formula variation is right for your specific situation…including geography? In this podcast we answer all these questions, including even what time of day is best to take the different variations of Jing formulas in order to achieve their best effect, and understanding how to find a great kidney point on the body that you can press to help tonify kidney energy. Rehmannia grows in parts of north and northeastern China, and is the main ingredient in the Rehmannia 6 formula. It has been used successfully in Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years, primarily to treat yin deficiency. In Asia, Rehmannia has been used for many conditions including: allergies, high blood pressure, anemia, constipation, cancer, diabetes, fever, eczema, bacterial and fungal infections, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, insomnia, and pain relief.
