    Episode 43: Essence & Spirit: Longevity, Sex, Fertility, Living Your Destiny
    May 12 2025
    Have you heard of the Three Treasures, and how they relate to feeling great, aging vibrantly, manifesting your destiny and living your soul purpose? Together with our Qi, our Jing (Essence) and our Shen (Spirit) make up the Three Treasures - treasures, because they are the precious substances that form the foundation for our health and longevity. Jing can be translated variously as our DNA, our genetic endowment, our constitution. Qi is the total of all of our energetic and metabolic processes that govern daily function, like digestion, respiration, circulation, cellular function, tissue structure and integrity (more in episode 41). Shen is our spirit, our presence, our consciousness - the spark of life in our eyes. Jing-Qi-Shen are interrelated and dependent upon each other. When they are in coherence and harmony, we manifest our destiny in this lifetime - our soul purpose. We feel lighter, clearer and more vibrant - and are well resourced for life’s adventures. Many of our Chinese Medicine health cultivation practices centre around preserving and refining the Three Treasures. In this episode, Dr. Maz shares simple practices that you can incorporate into your everyday to boost your Qi, protect your Essence and help your Spirit shine bright! The simple Qi Gong move, practised slowly, with intent and slow breathing, can be a powerful way to connect the energies of Heaven and Earth. Bonus points if you do it barefoot outside!

  • Episode 42: Fasting – helpful or harmful? A Chinese Medicine perspective.

    Episode 42: Fasting – helpful or harmful? A Chinese Medicine perspective.
    Apr 13 2025
    PODCAST SCHEDULE UPDATE: new episode monthly - or more specifically, each Full Moon, for the next while. In Chinese Medicine, we are adherents of "The Middle Way" or "The Middle Path" - a path of moderation. Rather than opting for extreme or dramatic health practices, we opt for a gentle, daily nourishing of Life. Each moment is an opportunity to nurture health. Our amazing bodies already know how to heal, how to detox, how to repair - sometimes, we just need to get out of the way. When I was asked my thoughts on fasting, the answer, while tending to alignment with The Middle Way, had some nuances that I share with you in this episode. We touch on: • the view of our ancient medical texts on fasting (scroll down for a quote) • eating close to nature and the seasons vs. processed foods, preservatives, seed oils and, frankly, non-foods that pop up in the modern "diet" • intermittent fasting, the Chinese Medicine Organ / Meridian Clock and circadian rhythms • the "hollow" organs - what even are they, their relationship to health (and consciousness) • how fasting can cause our systems to dip into our Jing - the vital "Essence" that we come into this world with, and that nourishes us throughout our lifespan. "The source of vitality is the diet. If one stops eating or drinking, one will die. Without food or liquid, Stomach Qi will not be evident in the pulses.

    Episode 41: Health is charge – or, our ability to power up & move our Qi
    Mar 29 2025
    (APOLOGIES for the audio issue halfway through the episode - it's only 30 seconds or so, so thank you for bearing with me!) Put simply, life (and health!) is about how well we can gain and hold charge, and how effectively our systems work with it. Chinese Medicine has a profound understanding of this. Our view of health and healing focuses greatly on Qi and its many expressions, qualities and functions within mind, body and soul. Qi is often loosely translated as “energy”, but it is so much more than that. It describes function, metabolism, processes of transformation, directions of movement… the list goes on! In our medicine, we understand that when the body is well-resourced and abundant in Qi - and when the Qi channels, or meridians - are open and harmoniously organised, vibrant health naturally follows. Here we talk about the concept of health as charge - and our ability to hold and use it effectively - and the many ways, both ancient and new, that we can charge up our Qi today. PRODUCT SHOUTOUT I talk in the episode about native frequencies (or EMFs) vs non-native ones. A common source of non-native EMFs are many lightbulbs - the wavelength of these lights can be disruptive to our body clock, or circadian rhythm. This in turn can derail everything from hormones to nervous system, sleep, repair and whole host of other important processes. This is why our house is full of natural wavelength lightbulbs from Block Blue Light.
