For decades, millions of aging adults worldwide have adhered to a familiar morning ritual: swallowing a daily dose of glucosamine 維骨力. Marketed heavily as an over-the-counter savior for creaky knees, stiff hips, and the general wear-and-tear of osteoarthritis, glucosamine became a multi-billion-dollar staple of the supplement industry.

Weeks of 03/09/26 - 05/11/26 Spring is the season of renewal and, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the ideal time to strengthen and nourish the liver.

As a journalist, I often interview others and rarely discuss my personal experiences. Occasionally, students inquire about the effects of Tai Chi and Qigong on me. I was initially hesitant to use myself as an example. I always promote understanding the physical and mental benefits of these healing arts from a scientific perspective. However, Susan Axelrod, a certified Qigong Instructor and host of "How Qigong & Tai Chi Changed My Life" on YouTube, encouraged me to share my st
