Dr. Edward Neal and Mel Hopper Koppelman explore menopause not as a disease but as a natural life transition described in the Neijing over 2,000 years ago. They discuss why hormones are the spice, not the meal, how lost rhythms drive most symptoms, and why the stories we tell about aging and womanhood may be the most powerful medicine of all.
Dr. Neal and Mel discuss how primitive brain reflexes play a vital, yet often overlooked role in our health, from childhood development to adulthood.

In this episode, we sit down for a ‘light and loose’ conversation about neurology, the state of the world, and how our bodies move like plants.
In today’s conversation, we have a very special guest Pere Garcia from Barcelona, who has had extensive experience in the practice of Sufism and Neijing Medicine. He will join us for a great conversation on “Light and Breath”.

In this week’s episode we discuss how the Neijing describes seasonal patterns and changes in relation to our bodies’ natural patterns. What does it mean to breathe with the seasons? When we learn to live with the seasons we learn to go with the flow of life.
In this episode, we begin to unearth how the Neijing describes a complete physiological understanding of the human body, with the points being anatomical descriptions and not just numbers on a line.

道可道非常道名可名非常名無名天地之始有名萬物之母故常無欲以觀其妙常有欲以觀其徼
The Dao that can be percieved by our mind is not the true Dao. The name that can be perceived by our ears is not the true name. The world without names creates the patterns of heaven and earth; the world with names is the mother of the Ten Thousand Things. Thus, to perceive the mysteries, let your desires fall away. To experience the world of limitations, hold them tight.
