So don't wait until the last minute.

I think acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine is a little bit different in this case.

Personally, because I specifically treat complicated cases and, you know, puzzles, so to speak, or autoimmune.

I would say something like long COVID.

I have always gotten rid of a long COVID patient after three batches of my medicine.

... and you know what you're paying on a daily basis.

Like, one of my, uh, big-time musician patients, chronic insomnia.

You have to go on tour, then your producer is expecting, "Oh, now it's productive time." Not only do you have to not sleep at night and do tours, and, you know, o- sensory overload, don't eat well, like, travel all the time, hosting all these, like, you know, tours and entertain everybody else, sell tickets, you are expected on your downtime to also produce music.

We say in Chinese medicine that the digestive chi, which is so essential, gives you the creativity, but that creativity has to be sustainable.

And often I see this in athletes and I see this in my musician or artist patients, where they come to a stumbling block where you're squeezing toothpaste.

Any ounce of creativity, any ounce of high performance comes from so much that you suffer that other people just don't see.
