Worrying
Overeating
Worrying

Overeating
Overeating
Overeating
Causes Yin Damp. A damp spleen and excess bodyfat are implicated in a thousand diseases and minor problems. At least 80% of Americans suffer from the habit of overeating.
Written by and for practitioners of Chinese medicine
The Yin & Yang of Wellness Coaching - A Handbook for Healers (196 pages in PDF).combines Chinese Medical Theory, a precious gift to the world, with the art and science of wellness coaching. I wrote this e-book for four reasons, and specifically for practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine.
- To improve clinical results.
- To increase patient-visits.
- To inspire referrals
- To improve the health of practitioners like yourself.
- To help our profession step up to the next level, while getting a jump on the competition..
Six prominent features of The Yin & Yang of Wellness Coaching
1. A wellness coach focuses on changing unhealthy habits for healthy ones. Coaching can be performed in the clinic and online. One chapter in the book is devoted to helping you get started with coaching.
2. Worrying, hurrying, and overeating are general terms for the three habits that underlie the common syndromes of stagnation, yang heat, and yin damp. For details, check out an article I wrote for Acupuncture Today: “Diagnosis Simplified.”
3. Hypertension is a hidden killer. You will discover how worrying, hurrying, and overeating separately or together cause the high blood pressure that leads to so many cardiovascular and other disorders. It’s fascinating how Chinese Medical Theory explains it in terms so simple, every patient can understand. From understanding comes plans and solutions, all detailed in this book.
4. Digestive problems plague modern populations, not surprising, given the high rate of overweight and obesity. Consistent overeating develops into a thousand yin damp issues. The Handbook explains how the concepts of bodytrust and physical hunger play vital roles in weight loss, weight maintenance, internal cleanliness, and a healthy shen, and how telling patients what to eat undermines this process of self-discovery.
5. The hurrying lifestyle causes the majority of autoimmune diseases and inflammatory disorders. The Handbook explains how this happens, and how our hurried patients can learn to trust their bodies, which beg for rest, sleep, and more yin time. I made a YouTube video on the subject called “Move slower live longer.”
6. End worrying and all forms of mental/emotional stagnation and the physical disorders that result. The Handbook covers the many effective approaches to this universal problem. Here is one video that might be helpful for you: “Taoism for peace of mind.” And here is another: “Problems and Solutions are of Equal Value.”

A book that brings Chinese medicine to new shores
Chinese Medical Theory connects & explains everything
This allows for an accurate diagnosis & treatment plan
Mind with body, lifestyle with genetics, and your little toe with your ear. A medical system that connects everything explains everything. An accurate understanding of problems is the first step toward wellness.
Chinese medical theory is time-tested
Two thousand years ago, Chinese medicine divorced itself from magical thinking, and embraced empirical testing. In one unbroken written language, generation after generation of doctors would test hypotheses and record the results. Over time, the theory took on an internally consistent and highly logical character.
Chinese Medical Theory is user-friendly
You do not need college degrees or years of study to grasp the concepts, which are couched in simple, day-to-day, English-language terminology everybody can understand and use. This lends itself very well to health coaching.
Chinese medical theory is universally valid
No matter the place or time, Chinese medicine puts it all together. Chinese influence and culture will continue to spread around the world. As it does, the precious gift of Chinese Medical Theory based on the theory of yin and yang will come to play a central role in health and wellness.
Chinese medicine will be "discovered" by the masses
Emergency medicine, aka conventional medicine, will remain the gold standard for emergencies and heroic interventions. But it will lose its dominance in the minds of the people.
The language and theory of Chinese medicine. . .
will one day become the universal language of health care for the world's population, while the language and theory of emergency medicine will become the exclusive purview of specialists and technicians.

The ancients knew a thing or two.
“The physician who teaches people to sustain their health is the superior physician. The physician who waits to treat people after their health is damaged is considered to be inferior. This is like waiting until one’s family is starving to begin to plant seeds in the garden."
—Yellow Emperor’s Classic on Internal Medicine, ca. 500 B.C.E.
"Prevention and cure are the same thing."
