Is Tai Chi just for older adults?
Can Tai Chi regulate stress and reduce inflammation?
What if 10 minutes a day could improve resilience, balance in older age, and lower your risk of falls?
Many people dismiss Tai Chi and Qigong as slow or outdated practices. Some assume they are only for seniors. But these ancient movement systems were designed to build strength, regulate the nervous system, and support long term vitality.
In this episode, I speak with Dr. Pedram Shojai, founder of Urban Monk, a former Taoist monk and Doctor of Oriental Medicine, about how simple daily practices can dramatically shift stress biology and overall health.
If you want a practical, sustainable approach to building resilience and protecting your health before problems show up, this episode will expand your perspective.
