In this episode, Dr. Jacques Moramarco and Dr. Yun Kim explain how simple walks infused with breathwork and mindfulness can profoundly impact health, vitality, and the aging process. They share their lifelong experiences, the evolution and modern practice of East Asian medicine, and practical mind-body practices to incorporate into clinical practice and daily life for wellness and longevity.
Jacques and Yun share some amazing stories from over 50 years of mindfulness and martial arts practices, acupuncture and herbal clinical practice, and family lineage practicing East Asian Medicine. It is this lifelong practice of mind-body medicine that inspired them both to release an accessible guide for laypeople as well as clinicians to use in their practice, integrating mindfulness, breath, and movement through various types of walks, including traditional, vitality, animal, immune-boosting, and circle walks.
They share practical tools from the new book Walking Your Way to Vitality, including QR code demonstrations for various walks, and a plethora of science and research behind walking, Tai Chi, Tai Chi-inspired movements, and their health benefits. In this fun conversation bridging ancient wisdom with modern science, you’ll hear about the significance of preventative medicine as emphasized in the Yellow Emperor’s Classic, incorporating Eastern health principles with contemporary research on movement, breath, and nutrition, and many personal stories of resilience, legacy, and the importance of starting healthy habits early.
Clinicians will walk away with a handful of actionable items to immediately begin recommending to patients to supplement their treatments, as well as a new respect and inspiration for a powerful movement that we too often take for granted: Walking.
