Hello audience! (Lukas here) I just wanted to apologize straight away for the sound quality of this episode. We will do our very best to maintain better standards in the future. It's a great conversation with someone I've admired for a long time so I think you'll enjoy it regardless.

Thanks for listening!

Some background from Kathy herself:

I have been practicing Chinese martial arts, Tai Chi, and Qigong for over three decades. I began training at the age of six under the guidance of my father Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming.

I received my Master’s degree with distinction in Chinese Medicine from Middlesex University in London, UK with a joint degree from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. I also hold my BSc in Clinical Exercise Physiology from Boston University and was honored with the Scarlet Key Award, one of the University’s highest academic honors. I bring a wide range of clinical experience and knowledge working in a Beijing hospital and in neuroscience research at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital.

I created TCM Time as a resource for you to discover Chinese medicine through videos, online classes, blog posts, podcast, and much more. With this platform I will introduce you to some of my favorite topics such as:

• Stress relief and pain management
• Acupressure massage and meridian health
• TCM body clock: How to regulate your lifestyle
• Food as medicine
• Medical Qigong

I specialize in a mind-body approach to achieving health and wellness. I am trained in Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment modalities such as:

• Acupuncture
• Chinese herbal medicine
• Tui Na massage
• Tai Chi & Qigong
