If you’re looking to improve your balance, reduce stress, and strengthen your bones naturally, you’re going to love this episode. I’m joined by Matt Jeffs, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Qi Gong/ Tai Chi instructor, who shares how these ancient practices blend movement, mindfulness, and breathwork to support bone health and overall wellness. You’ll also get to experience a short, guided routine you can do right from home–perfect for improving balance and reducing fall risk.
Matt and I discuss the research showing how Tai Chi and Qi Gong can improve bone density, prevent falls, and even enhance sleep and relaxation. By the end, you’ll see why this is one of my favorite daily practices.
“You don’t have to do everything perfectly. Just move, breathe, and let your body find its rhythm.“
