Being a Western medical doctor first and then also a Chinese medical doctor, I have practiced integrative Western and Chinese medicine for over 30 years in hospitals in China before coming to the US as a visiting professor at UCSF and a professor at Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College Berkeley and practicing in my private TCM practice. With over 50 years of extensive Western and Chinese medical experience, compassion, caring, and a holistic approach, I have successfully helped many patients with various health challenges including difficult cases that could not be helped with only Western medicine.

I practiced with my father for 5 years before he retired, and I learned from him what really works to get people well. He started practice in 1959 and had a wealth of experience that I learned from. I incoporated that into the latest techniques that I learned at Life Chiropractic College West, an excellent technical school, to get a very well rounded technical expertise.

After encountering several health issues that lead to weight gain, constant bloating, depression, and infertility, I worked with multiple healthcare professionals to help myself get back on track. After years of ups and downs, I finally decided to take my health in my own hands and entered into a MS program to learn more about nutrition and functional medicine. It allowed me not only solve my health issues that no one could, but also to get pregnant after multiple years of unsuccessful attempts. Your daily nutrition is either a poison or a medicine, and I am excited to help you find an optimal balance between health and food!
