Roger Jahnke, OMD, as a child was moved by his father's death and wanted to become a doctor when he grew up. Once there he learned the medical profession only studied disease but not wellness to prevent disease. His world changed once he learned about reading the Taoist book called Tao Te Ching, the ancient understanding of how human beings should live life. He left medical school and became a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, administering acupuncture and herbs. He later moved on to teach only Qigong & Tai Chi as a way to empower people  to start healing themselves through a daily practice at home, not just do it in a class. When you trigger the body through movement and breath medicine, the body understands what to do in order to expel toxins, and maintain healthy organs. This knowledge comes from the indigenous people of China, who understood how to commune with nature and therefore came to understand the body and what we need to do to tap into our own form of internal medicine.
