Brian interviews Jennie Chan, a Chinese medicine practitioner, Qigong (pronounced chee-guhng) instructor and founder of Spectra Wellbeing, a wellness company promoting the practice of Qigong in individivual and group settings.

Brian and Jennie explore her personal story from high-powered, high-stress finance professional to traditional medicine practitioner. In this conversation, Jennie explains the different aspects of traditional Chinese medicine, including acupuncture, herbal remedies, and physical practices like Tai Chi and Qigong and their observed and potential benefits to our overall health.

Qigong, specifically, is a mindfulness practice that combines movement, breathwork, and meditation to nurture and cultivate vital energy (qi). The practice can be particularly beneficial for managing health and wellness in high-stress environments.

Jennie stresses the importance of adjusting diet and general exercise along with the unique benefits of movement therapy in promoting overall physcial, mental and emotional health by helping people achieve a state of relaxation and calm. She also explores the role of sound in healing and the integration of Qigong routines into daily life. The discussion also highlights the complementary nature of traditional Chinese medicine with Western medicine and the growing interest in Qigong as an alternative healing practice outside Asia.
