We revere Dr. Roger Jahnke and have for years.  Born in Ohio as a young man he made his way to China to become a doctor of  traditional oriental medicine. Now a Master, he discovered over many years that best medicine was the medicine we manufacture right inside our own bodies through movement.  Now we have him on record sharing how to do that. And it’s so simple. We open a conversation on the new science of hydration and its relationship to Chinese medical traditions and practices.

Dr. Roger Jahnke, OMD is a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine with 40 years of clinical practice and 10 research pilgrimages to China to study its healing traditions. He is Director of the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi.  Dr. Jahnke is a champion for effecting national health policies. He co-convened the National Expert Meeting on Qi Gong, has edited and translated the clinical chapters for Chinese Medical Qigong and published a comprehensive review of evidence-based health benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong in the prestigious American Journal of Health Promotion. He is known for persuasively calculating the medical cost reduction possible using Tai Chi. His groundbreaking books, The Healer Within and its companion book The Healing Promise of Qi have become instant classics in healing.

This interview opens a conversation on the new science of hydration and its relationship to Chinese medical traditions and practices. We introduce one of the Masters of Qigong, Dr. Roger Jahke, OMD, who holds a unique place in influencing the American medical field on a national level.
