YOU ARE YOUR BEST HEALER!

Do you know you are your best healer? You are the only person who is with yourself 24 hours by 7 days. You know how your body feels, your emotion, what you did, what you ate, and what your needs are! Although some of you may say you don't know. Your brain may not be aware of them, but your subconscious, your higher self knows. You just need to spend time paying attention to yourself. It is important to seek medical professionals and different experts for their professional advice. However, they are your healing team who give you professional advice. In the end, you are still the best healer for yourself. It is your choice if you want to take ownership of your overall well-being or not and develop a healthier lifestyle. As a professional healer, I'd like to share some Metatron healing, guided meditation, food therapy, seasonal care suggestions based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, and other self-care-related topics with you on this podcast. I hope you could find this podcast helpful to you. Let's start the self-healing journey at your convenient time and place!

Introduction to Healthier Eating Ep 1

January 10, 2024 • Haizhen

Hello! Welcome to the “You are your best healer podcast”

This is Dr. Haizhen Yang. I am an acupuncturist and Chinese medicine herbalist. I am also a certified reiki and advanced mechatronic energy healer.

In today’s episode, I want to clarify a few misconceptions about healthier eating. I often hear patients saying they eat very healthily because they eat salad mostly and have morning smoothies. However, most of these people tend to have weak digestive systems. Why?

First, we need to understand our digestive system and how it works. Our body is an organic system. Our metabolism is a bunch of organic chemistry reactions. Have any of you done chemistry lab back in your school years? When we do experiments at the chemistry lab, what are the two things we add to the reactions to speed them up? One is heat and the other is enzymes. Most green vegetables and fruits are cold. If we eat most of them cold, it will make the stomach work much harder. From the Western nutrition perspective, eating more vegetables and fruits is good since they are full of vitamins. I don’t disagree with that. But from the Eastern nutrition perspective, we also consider their nature and properties. In future episodes, I will discuss more in detail.
So how do we balance their coldness? In your smoothie, you could add ginger, which is warming in nature. You could also warm the smoothies when you drink them. If you want to eat raw vegetable salad, you could use ginger dressing and add more spices to it. So I will suggest to cook your vegetables and eat them warm.

Secondly, Please do not overload our body with cheese, which could clot our lymphatic vessels.

I would like to answer two questions many of my patients asked me regarding weight loss.

Why do people over 40 years old, gain weight easily and start to have elevated sugar levels, elevated blood pressure, or elevated cholesterols? How should they eat?

Is it safe to take OZEMPIC for weight loss? We need to understand its mechanism and how it works on our body first. In nutshell,
- it increases insulin release to withdraw sugar from the bloodstream
- it slows down the emptying stomach and slows down the digestive process
- it affects the area in your brain feeling full (satiety)

What is the best way of losing weight?
- 30 minutes of cardiac exercise followed by 30 minutes of weight liftings (in between each set of weight liftings, you should do jump ropes to maintain your heart rate)
- 8/16 intermittent fasting
