Remember to turn on your CC for subtitles~ Follow the reporter to Tianjin to meet with a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. The most special thing about him is that, this doctor comes from Columbia. So how has he become interested in Chinese medicine, and what about his favorite parts about studying and living in China? Let's meet Henry Tarazona and hear about his story.

We no longer pretend the gut and the mind are separate; we know the interconnections are vast and rich. Furthermore, their communication isn’t a hack—it’s a relationship that responds to your input, and it’s something you can actually touch. In this conversation with Henry Tarazona, we hear about his unlikely path into Chinese medicine—his love of tuina, and how he uses it to affect organ function and biochemistry. We’ll discuss Liver/Spleen stress dynamics and the quietly radical clinical power of moderation in improving digestion, along with Henry’s thoughts on the gut–brain axis through the lens of the vagus nerve and the Chong Mai. We also touch on what it means to learn medicine in a more traditional way, where you rely on memory, repetition, and learning to see what is in front of you. Listen in for a conversation that mixes together old style learning with both traditional and modern ideas.
