I believe that the human body is not a machine to be managed by a spreadsheet of data; it is a microcosm of the universe. True health does not come from chasing “perfect” numbers on a blood test or following the latest lab-grown trends. It comes from one simple principle: aligning your life with the laws of nature.
When we deviate from how we were designed to live—when we ignore the seasons and the ancient wisdom of our ancestors—we become “cold,” stagnant, and prone to disease. Here is the logic I live by to maintain a state of health that no laboratory test could ever predict.
The Invisible Killers on Your Dinner Table
Modern nutrition has inverted the truth. To reclaim your health, you must unlearn what the “food industry” has taught you.
The Fat Truth: Why I Chose Lard Over Seed Oils
For generations in China, Lard was the soul of the kitchen. Every household had a ceramic jar specifically for rendered pork fat. It was our source of energy and vitality. Then came decades of “modern research” claiming animal fats were the enemy, and we were pushed toward highly processed vegetable and seed oils.
The reality is visible in your kitchen. Look at your range hood or your kitchen vents. Have you ever noticed that sticky, yellow, glue-like residue that is almost impossible to scrub off? That is the result of heated vegetable oils. When you consume these oils, that same “varnish” coats your blood vessels, leading to the very blockages modern medicine claims to prevent.
I returned to lard because it is stable. Unlike seed oils, it melts at human body temperature. It flows through your system rather than sticking to your walls. Since making the switch, my circulation has never been better.
The Sugar Truth: Why My Skin Loves Cane Sugar
In the West, sugar is often called “the white death.” But we need to distinguish between Chemical Poison and Natural Medicine.
I used to be addicted to modern milk teas (bubble tea). Every time I drank them, my stomach would feel bloated and uncomfortable, and I would inevitably break out in painful acne. This is the effect of refined, artificial sugars and sweeteners. They are tiny, acidic molecules that act as a “super-fuel” for inflammation and viruses.
However, when I switched to Natural Cane Sugar or traditional Chinese Brown Sugar water, the transformation was immediate. My skin cleared up, and my digestion felt “warm” and supported. Natural cane sugar consists of large, alkaline molecules that actually help cleanse the blood. It is a “tonic,” whereas artificial sugar is a toxin.
The Milk Myth
We are the only species that drinks the milk of another animal past infancy. Milk is a growth serum for calves; it is loaded with hormones designed to turn a small animal into a giant. For a human adult, this过剩 (excess) nutrition serves only to “feed” tumors, cysts, and hormonal imbalances like PCOS. Once we are weaned, we no longer need milk. If you want to stop feeding the “pathogens” in your body, stop drinking dairy.
The Warning on Supplements and Antibiotics
We have been conditioned to believe that health comes from a bottle. But nature does not provide nutrients in isolation.
- Synthetic Vitamins: These are “Yin” (cold/dead) substances. Because they lack the complex structure of real food, your body cannot absorb them properly. They often end up sitting in your system, providing a feast for the very viruses you are trying to avoid.
- The Cost of Antibiotics: We treat every fever like a fire that must be extinguished. But by using antibiotics for every minor cold, we “cool” the body’s internal fire (Yang). This creates a cold, stagnant environment—the perfect breeding ground for cancer.
Become Your Own Doctor (The 6 Standards)
Stop waiting for a doctor to tell you if you are healthy based on a piece of paper. Your body sends you a “status report” every single morning.
- Sleep: Do you sleep deeply through the night and wake up with energy?
- Appetite: Do you have a consistent, healthy hunger?
- Digestion: Do you have a smooth, complete bowel movement every single morning?
- Urine: Is your urine pale yellow and plentiful?
- The Temperature Test: This is my “Golden Rule.” Is your head cool and your hands and feet warm? Warm extremities mean your heart is strong and your “Yang” is circulating.
- Morning Vitality: Does your body wake up with natural physiological signals? (Morning erections for men; breast sensitivity for women). These are the indicators of a body full of life force.
The Wisdom of the Seasons
We are designed to move, but we are designed to walk, not to run marathons that exhaust the heart. More importantly, we must follow the rhythm of the year:
Furthermore, we must live by the Four Seasons:
- Spring & Summer: Expand, grow, and be active.
- Autumn & Winter: Conserve and hide.
In the winter, we should be like the animals—sleep early, wake up late, and avoid heavy sweating. Pushing yourself to “shred” at the gym in the dead of winter is a violation of natural law that drains your reserves for the year to come.
Conclusion Â
Health is not a complicated science; it is a simple state of equilibrium. By the time a disease shows up on an X-ray, the body has been screaming for help for years.
My goal is to help you hear those screams while they are still whispers. Listen to your body, eat with the seasons, and return to the fats and sugars that nature intended. You don’t need more medicine; you need more self-awareness.
