71- Dr. Mao Shing Ni on Taoist Wisdom, Longevity & Holistic Wellness

Returning To Balance Through Ancient WisdomIn this inspiring conversation, Joanne sits down with 38th-generation doctor of Chinese medicine, integrative health pioneer, author and co-founder of the Tao of Wellness and Yo San University, Dr. Mao Shing Ni. Dr. Mao shares the remarkable story that shaped his life's work after surviving a devastating fall as a young child that left him in a coma and temporarily paralyzed. Through the unwavering belief of his father and the healing power of acupuncture, herbal medicine, food, Tai Chi, Qigong and meditation, he made a full recovery. That journey became the foundation of his lifelong mission to help others rediscover their body's extraordinary ability to heal.The Body Is Always SpeakingDr. Mao shares one of the greatest lessons his father ever taught him: "Symptoms are simply the body out of balance." Rather than suppressing symptoms, Chinese medicine seeks to restore harmony at the root. He explains that food is medicine, just as acupuncture, herbal medicine, movement and meditation are all forms of medicine that support the body's natural healing abilities. Together, Joanne and Dr. Mao explore why prevention matters, how stress quietly impacts our health and how simple practices like walking after meals and creating moments of stillness can help bring us back into balance.Healing Is A PartnershipDrawing from more than a thousand years of family wisdom, Dr. Mao offers a refreshing vision of healthcare where ancient traditions and modern science work together. He reminds us that doctors don't heal the body; the body heals itself when given the right support. This conversation is a beautiful invitation to trust your body's innate intelligence, embrace prevention over reaction, and remember that true longevity is about living each day with greater balance, awareness and harmony.Ask Dr. Mao Learn More About Tao of WellnessDr. Mao’s Secrets of Longevity, 2nd Edition Dr. Mao’s Secrets of Self HealingDr. Mao's Secrets of Longevity Cookbook: Eat to Thrive, Live Long, and Be HealthyAbout Yo San UniversityChapters00:00 Introduction to Wellness and Healing01:51 The Journey into Chinese Medicine06:19 Building Yo-San University08:12 Integrating Eastern and Western Medicine12:51 Food as Medicine15:32 Preventative Healthcare vs. Reactive Medicine18:46 Connecting with Natural Rhythms20:40 Understanding Symptoms as Messages24:09 The Mind-Body Connection28:25 Daily Practices for Longevity30:10 The Future of Integrative Medicine33:39 Wisdom from AncestryLet’s chat!
