Modern life asks us to push, perform, and produce — every day, all month long.

But our bodies aren’t built for constant output.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, we are cyclical beings with a finite life force called Jing — our essential energy reserve that governs vitality, fertility, hormones, and longevity.

So what happens when we ignore our natural rhythms?

Burnout. Hormone imbalance. Painful periods. Fatigue. Early depletion.

In this nourishing conversation, Rahi Chun sits down with licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, and founder of The Way of Yin, Kris Gonzalez, to explore how living in harmony with our biological cycles can radically restore health, energy, and emotional resilience.

Together, they discuss:

• What “Jing” (life force essence) really means in Chinese Medicine
 • Why menstruation, postpartum, and perimenopause are “golden opportunities” for healing
 • The connection between stress, hormones, and menstrual health
 • How burnout depletes your deepest energy reserves
 • The heart–womb connection and emotional stagnation
 • Why painful periods and exhaustion are NOT normal
 • Circadian + infradian rhythms explained
 • How to work with your cycle instead of against it
 • Preventative vs reactive healthcare (TCM vs Western models)
 • Simple daily practices to protect your vitality
 • Living cyclically in a linear, productivity-driven culture

This episode is a gentle but powerful invitation to slow down, listen inward, and reclaim the wisdom already living inside your body.
