 4 Pillars of Health (1.5 hr / $42) 

There  are four separate metabolic phases that the body  must go through in  order to turn food into either energy or  mass. Those phases are:

1. Digestion

2. Absorption

3. Utilization

4. Elimination

The old adage, “You’re only as strong as your weakest  link,” applies  here. So, you may be eating good food, if  you're not then that's a  good place to start, but how well is  your body digesting, absorbing and  utilizing that food?  And finally, how well do you eliminate the waste  product  from the metabolism of that food? I can show you any   disease—from anxiety and depression to cancer or  autoimmune disease,  IBS to insomnia can be traced back  to the integrity of these four  pillars. A weak link in any of  them can lead us to disease. But there  is a way to restore  them if you know how.

He presents the Chinese herbal formulas   that provide patients with the best opportunity to restore  health to  their internal organs and vital substances.
