I graduated from Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine 1982 (Bachelor of Medicine) and practice acupuncture in Rockville and Bethesda, Maryland. I also do acupuncture at National Institutes of Health as a member of pain and palliative care team. My main interests have been on pain management, sport injury, inflammation (such as arthritis, tendonitis, gastrointestinal problems) and neurological diseases (essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, dementia and ADHD). I am also an immunologist researching on inflammatory and infectious diseases. I was NIH research fellow and has a Ph.D. in biochemistry (Wayne State University 1992).

Do you struggle knowing what and/or how much your body needs? Are you frustrated by your eating and/or your current weight? Are you ready to break free of restrictive diets?

I want you to feel confident in your choices while enjoying all the foods you eat. Because at the end of the day, food is so much more than fuel.
