6 Easy Recommendations for a Healthier You

Dr. Kim DiStefano · December 19, 2024 · 6 min read

1. Diaphragm Breathing (The Way We Should Always Breathe)

Why it matters: Diaphragmatic breathing isn't just for deep relaxation—it's the natural way we're meant to breathe. Modern society stresses us out, and most people develop shallow chest breathing. Restoring proper belly breathing can improve oxygenation, digestion, circulation, and overall well-being.

How to do it:

2. Move Your Body

Why it matters: Stagnation is the root of many health problems in Chinese medical theory. Movement supports circulation, digestion, and emotional balance.

Ideas to incorporate movement:

3. Reset the Back After Sitting - Do "The Hang"

Why it matters: Sitting compresses the lower back. A simple forward "hang" helps reset the spine, avoiding back pain and improving posture.

How to do it:

4. Squat Daily

Why it matters: Squatting is a natural resting posture that keeps your hips, knees, and back strong and mobile. It supports digestion and pelvic health.

How to do it:

5. Change Your Internal Voice to Your Best Friend

Why it matters: Your internal voice shapes your reality. Chinese medicine teaches that emotions affect health—self-kindness reduces stress and supports well-being.

How to do it:

6. Take a Whole Food Organ Meat Supplements as a Daily Vitamin

Why it matters: Organ meats are nature's multivitamin, packed with essential nutrients often lacking in modern diets. Mammals store extra vitamins and minerals in organs. The body knows exactly what to do with it—it does NOT just make expensive urine.

How to do it:
