Wonderful! As is everything you share Nick. So thankful to have landed here with you as my Qigong teacher after moving through others on my quest to unravel the intense grief I have been wearing for my life, especially since the heavy trauma I experienced 6 years ago. I spend every day with you and I finally feel lighter. I love the way you teach and how you help us to understand who we are in this life with a greater depth.
Great article! As someone who came to the states from China for college, bedazzled by the western food science, disregarded my parents and oriental wisdom, tried many “science backed diets” and screwed up my metabolism, this article confirmed many of my own experiences and thoughts. It is a bit frustrating though to go back to what my parents and grandparents had taught me (which is heavily influenced by Daoism and longevity cultivation practices). It almost felt like my years of exploration and rebellion is for nothing. But I guess that is a huge part of growing up😅
Totally agree. Food science is one of the most obscure fields of research. Probably better for most people to just eat whatever their grandparents ate 😂
Great job! I would love more content like this to go along with all I’ve learned from your qi gong videos- I’m on a healing journey and love learning, thank you 💜
Coming here after Ray's passing. Feeling extremely sad but you've done a wonderful job of painting a picture of his work. Bridging the gap between him and TCM was also quite interesting. I can also tell that you are a genuine human being and I applaud your work.
Great article! Thanks for putting all that information together, making the connections, and sharing it. I would definitely love to hear more similar talks from you. I have been subscribed to your RUclips videos for several months now, and have enjoyed them all, and always look forward to them. I recently purchased your Bioenergy Training Program 2 DVD, and think it is excellent as well! Thank you!
This is so fascinating man. I did one of your 5 element videos today and it felt amazing. So many breadcrumbs are making sense. Thanks for sharing your journey brother
So interesting! Thank you! I'm skippung breakfast for over a year now and die to increased stress from work my hair is thinning and turning gray! Can you do an episode about how you improved your hair condition? That'd be so awesome
Your article and personal testimony were great. 🤗 Do more ! And remember regardless of feedback.... there's always gunna be haters, put your truth out anyways
Definitely helpful and reinforcing to hear the articulation of all of that. I am experiencing a situation where this all plays out so clearly. And your videos perpetuate my healing more then you could ever know.
Nick thank you for this video. Your explanations have brought for me a greater understanding of Chinese medicine and how Qigong and Tai Chi work together. Your Qi Gong sessions NOW will have a deeper meaningful legacy to them . More of this please .
Thank you for this fascinating article. It is so useful to link science and ancient medicine to explain my approach to managing my health. Please give us more!!! With appreciation for your wonderful qigong videos.....thank you
Could not agree more with comments below. Fascinating article and insights...imagine the world we would have if everybody the world over did understand all of this-and the ultimate fusion of Eastern and Western medicine being mainstream...Hope you can do more talks and articles please Nick:)
Finally watched this one, really great stuff! Would love more articles/podcasts on these types of topics. Really looking forward to teacher training with you soon too! :)
Rewatching this, just excellent. Really elucidative :) Chi Kung and a Ray Peat inspired diet and supplementation are doing wonders to my life. Nick, do you plan to uploading more Podcasts to Spotify?
@@TheNickLoffree a Podcast about how you discovered Chi Kung and how you began your practices would be great :) really enjoy your Channel. Have a good day
Thank you for this brilliant Video, Nick, like many here on your channel, this is just another part on my journey to a more holistic being. But one Question to regular Intermittent fasting, a point I did not quite get: is it not favorable from a bioenergetic/qi point of view? I've been doing it for 5 years now, feeling like my body adapted really quick. And since I am getting mor and more into healthy eating and fermentation (and qi gong etc.) I never really feel energetically deprived and increasingly well in general. Still, I've had Raynauds for many years now, and apparently a Lupus slowly creeping up on me, and in the same year I started the fasting, I also started to lose hair. A draining Jing in the background is probably not too helpful...
It is a tradeoff for sure. The benefit of giving your gut a break from food and bacterial feeding, and the cleanup of autophagy, can improve many symptoms. I also found I starting balding/greying when i was doing IF. It can cause an increase in cortisol, and increase fats in the blood. A helpful solution is to get some of the benefits of fasting, without actually fasting, by taking activated charcoal and eating a raw carrot daily to clean up gut toxins. Also increasing gelatin intake to seal up the gut lining, and eating easily digested foods to avoid bacterial overgrowth. Never simple, this stuff!
Hey there, I cured my awfall eczema after dealing with it for years (also mainly on fingers, but also on arms and swollen eyes and lips sometimes) with the GAPS diet, check it out. Before that I tried many many things like cleanses, supplements and leaving out foods but eventually my body was reacting to everything, I couldn't make sense of it except from that it must be leaky gut. I stayed on that diet for quite a time and slowly worked to adding things. Now a days I can eat almost anything (but I dont and mostly always stick to a clean paleo kind of diet) and it has been 2 years since I got any eczema! Good luck to you and hope you can solve it!

It is wonderful to hear that more & more young people are linking western research to traditional Chinese medine, chi kung etc the wisdom of the ages.
Thank you!😊
Thanks for digging deep with research Nick. It's always good to have a deeper understanding of what we are practicing and trying to achieve.
This is so fascinating man. I did one of your 5 element videos today and it felt amazing. So many breadcrumbs are making sense.

what a great video. been looking for a short video to introduce people to Ray's work
I like that we have a non exercise content. Good to mix up. Looking forward to more of this.

With appreciation for your wonderful qigong videos.....thank you
Thank you so much for this, Nick. It set me on a journey of reading Dr. Peat's work, which was totally unknown to me.
Could not agree more with comments below. Fascinating article and insights...imagine the world we would have if everybody the world over did understand all of this-and the ultimate fusion of Eastern and Western medicine being mainstream...Hope you can do more talks and articles please Nick:)
It would be awesome! Thanks for the encouragement, I’ll keep it up!
Love these talking format videos! Would love to learn more about Qigong philosophy through your talking videos.
Thanks! I’ve been meaning to do more! Been sidetracked with a baby 😅😂
@@TheNickLoffree Oh wow, congratulations! A beautiful thing to be distracted by 🥰

What books would you recommend to learn more about bioenergetics / energy medicine?
Raypeat.com has great articles!
V interesting thanks
So good! I tried the ray peat diet though and got fat and more miserable lol GAPS works better for me
Please do a video on how to cure itching on fingers...eczema like

They're similar because the pro metabolic theory of energy dynamics is borrowed directly from Chinese food medicine, right?
Didn't know Asmongold was a Peater
