The Chinese Herb Health & Longevity Show

Dr. George and John have a new podcast ready for you! In this New Year Year’s podcast for 2016, Dr. George and John discuss setting intentions for the New Year through the lens of Taoist philosophy and herbalism.

As they explore this topic, you are sure to have your curiosity piqued about who you really are and what meaning you bring to your life and actions. What is right action? How do you naturally cultivate that?

Through the use of a simple exercise, they demonstrate how to approach the nature of being by stripping down the common precepts and labels we normally associate with ourselves, such that we are left with a more eternal sense of self…

They also read a few of their favorite passages from ancient Chinese texts to further illuminate the nature of self and how embodied experience is much different than mental understanding of life.

In this new episode, Dr. George and John had the pleasure of talking with probably one of the most knowledgeable and proficient experts in prenatal care, Dr. Roy Dittman.

Dr. Dittman is a doctor of oriental medicine and a master herbalist who specializes in evolving an integrative organic approach to effecting the most powerful period of human development—the perinatal period.

  • What does she need to be aware of?
  • What external influences should you know about that can affect the fetus before it is born?
  • What is the role of the man and how important is it for him to also prepare his body for conception?
  • How do you know if you have internal infections that could affect the pregnancy?
  • What other beneficial side-effects does detoxing to prepare for pregnancy offer?
  • How do you know what herbs are safe during pregnancy?

In this episode, Dr. George and John and I talk about their “go to” page for anyone who wants to know how their Three Treasures energies are doing.

They often refer people to visit their Three Treasures Analysis page at www.JingHerbsTest.com as this is a great way for you to check in periodically with yourself to see how well your energies are being balanced… or not.

In this edition of the podcast, they explore more deeply the reason why this self-analysis is so helpful for people, regardless of whether it’s your first time using Chinese herbs or you have been using them for years. How does the analysis work?

How can you get the most accurate results? Once you get your results, what’s next?

By exploring all the questions in the Three Treasures Analysis, you can learn about what qualities each Treasure provides when healthy and how to detect when there is an underlying energetic imbalance.

Dr. George and John go through each category, explaining the rationale for the questions and how and why they might indicate deficiency in a particular category, as well as offering tips such as one thing most women need to be aware of on a regular basis to ensure optimal health.

An herbal program differs from many western style remedies because it works on many deeper levels. Find out more by listening to this podcast now!

In this podcast, Dr. George and John go back to basics and talk about that amazing class of supplements: medicinal mushrooms!

You may know something about medicinal mushrooms but in this chapter they really go in depth into some of the lesser known facts surrounding the history and benefits of these intelligent herbs. Written accounts of medicinal mushrooms date back as early as 55 A.D. and certainly have stood the test of time. Now we are learning more about the mycelium and how it is being used to support the immunity of the earth as a whole in addition to supporting the immune systems of its inhabitants.

Remarkably, the digestive systems of medicinal mushrooms are very similar to that of humans! How is this so and what does it mean? What are the specific constituents of these tonics that give them their powerful qualities? How are the various types of mushrooms different from each other and what effects do they have in the body?

Finally, they discuss some characteristics of particular mushrooms: Reishi, Cordyceps, Chaga, Turkey Tail, Lions Mane, and Poria. Get up to date on your mushroom wisdom by listening now!

Out of 140,000 species of mushroom-forming fungi, only about 100 are being studied for their health-promoting benefits. Even fewer are thought to be strong immune system potentiators. As a natural defense against pathogenic invasion, fungi have developed their own strong antibiotics, which synchronistically happen to be effective for humans. This is why some mushrooms help our bodies maintain a strong defense against certain bacteria and viruses.

In this episode, Dr. George and John were fortunate to be able to speak with a modern day renaissance man… Pedram Shojai, OMD.

Pedram is a man with many titles… He is the founder of Well.Org and the executive producer and writer for the film, “Origins.”

In his spare time, he’s also a Taoist priest, a doctor of Oriental medicine, a kung fu world traveler, a fierce global green warrior, an avid backpacker, a devout alchemist, a Qi Gong Master, and an old school Jedi bio-hacker working to preserve our natural world and wake us up to our full potential. Wow…

In this interview Pedram talks about his forthcoming book “The Urban Monk” which describes how we can thrive and have peace in our lives right now wherever we are, without the need to run for the hills or meditate in a cave. This is important information for everyone!

Pedram shared that a conscious connection to your “higher self” or whatever term you prefer, impacts all your decisions. Everything you experience goes through this filter, so having this realization helps life make more sense.

Our materialistic consumerist society feeds the “hungry ghost” mentality and this vicious cycle is never ending. The only way to find peace is to honor this inner, higher connection. Transformational change can happen daily as a result of living out of this conscious awareness.

Daniele is an international speaker, nutritionist, health coach and certified personal trainer whose mission it is to help unleash the inner Diabetes Dominator in YOU!

In their conversation with Daniele, she shared with them how her personal journey of being diagnosed with diabetes in 2001 has led her to a complete health turnaround from obese to athlete, where she now helps others to do the same through the power of choice.

Are all calories the same? If two different foods have the same number of calories, how do you know which one to choose? Why are most commercially produced juice products actually detrimental to health? Why is it important to combine exercise and nutrition together for the best health regimen? What effect does a higher ratio of muscle mass have in the body?

Daniele addresses all these questions, plus she talked about how to hear our body’s messages and why it’s important to have courage to follow up on those messages when they arise, how our box-based society suffers from being disconnected from nature, which supplements and herbs might be helpful for people who have diabetes, and she shares some great success stories of people who have overcome the odds, returning their bodies to optimal health.

Finally Daniele shared some great tips for prevention so if you don’t already have diabetes, you can learn how to avoid it. It is estimated that 29 million people in the US (almost 10%) today have diabetes, so make sure you listen to this episode so you can arm yourself with some valuable information to support your health.

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?

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.

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!

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.

In this episdode, Dr. George and John start a discussion, which we will expand on later, about the theory behind developing Chinese herbal formulations.

Have you ever wondered why certain herbs are put together to make a formula? Perhaps you wanted to understand better how to make formulas yourself that are specific for your individual program.

This information can even help you build an amazing tonic elixir beverage that suits your particular needs on any given day.

Putting different herbs together in a formula is not a random process. How many herbs are too many? What is the appropriate dosage of herbs in a formula?

There’s so much wisdom and tradition that goes into each and every formulation and by listening to this podcast (and also some special upcoming episodes) you can start to gain better insight into this respected tradition.

In this podcast, Dr. George Lamoureux talks about an incredible longevity herb, lycium, better known as goji berry.

There are so many benefits associated with this amazing little berry that it was hard to condense it into a short podcast on the subject, but listen closely and you will understand why everyone needs to include this nutrient-packed superfood into your health and wellness protocol, especially if you live in certain geographic locations!

The published studies that John and I discuss on this “thorny stalk seed” include ones that feature benefits related to eye health, stress response and sexual function – but there are many other benefits that people enjoy when they take this herb regularly, mainly due to its nutritive content.

In this episode, Dr. George Lamoureux covers TWO herbs that are both plant-based yang tonics: Eucommia and Morinda. There is a reason why we addressed these two herbs together. There are many similarities, but there are also some differences.

These two Jing herbs are particularly unique in that while they are both categorized as Yang Jing, they are also gentle in nature, making them beneficial for both men and women to take.

In this episode we discuss the actions and benefits of each of these tonics, including case studies for specific positive uses. One of these herbs is said to treat “Great Wind Evil Qi”… which superhero herb does this and what does this mean?

If you or someone you love has any issue with their bones: broken or fractured bones, osteoporosis, fractures, athletes, post-menopausal women, pregnant women, etc., you will want to let them know about these two powerful superior herbs.
