Welcome to another episode of Running Strong Mind-Body Connection! I'm your host, Karen Bonnett-Natraj, and in today's episode, we welcome the inspiring Dr. Greg Yuen. Dr. Yuen's fascinating journey began when he was just 12 years old, after the passing of his grandmother sent him on a lifelong quest for longevity and wellness. Through decades of experience spanning Western medicine, psychiatry, massage therapy, and becoming a Tai Chi instructor, Dr. Yuen has come to believe that mindful self-massage—dō-in—may be one of the most powerful and accessible tools for cultivating the vital energy, or "chi," in our bodies.

In this episode, Dr. Yuen shares how dō-in can help runners and anyone seeking greater mind-body connection to reduce stress, promote healing, alleviate pain, enhance performance, and support longevity. We dive deep into Eastern philosophies, energy techniques, and practical acupressure points you can use before, during, and after your runs. Whether you're chasing a finish line or simply want to feel more aligned inside and out, this conversation is full of wisdom and actionable takeaways for your journey.

Tune in to hear Dr. Yuen's expert insights, learn how to boost your own flow of chi, and discover why loving attention to your body can transform your running and your life!
