Episode Description
Western medicine gave your symptoms a name. Chinese medicine asks why they showed up in the first place.
Jiaming Ju is a second-generation Chinese medicine practitioner whose father trained for decades in the mountains on the North Korea-China border — where the most potent medicinal herbs in the world still grow. Jiaming walked away from a rising career as one of the world's youngest longevity economists to carry that lineage forward, and the results speak for themselves: patients with long Covid, endometriosis, PCOS, and autoimmune conditions that "couldn't be fixed" — healing.
In this episode, you'll discover:
• Why your anxiety, bloating, brain fog, and painful periods are all the same problem — and what your liver and digestion have to do with it
• The Chinese medicine view on ADHD, depression, and why medicating the symptom without addressing the root makes things worse over time
• Why stubborn weight that won't budge has less to do with what you're eating and more to do with what happened to your digestion years ago
If you've been patching symptoms without ever asking why your body got there — this conversation will change how you see everything.
