About VitalYang
VitalYang (养气) literally means 'cultivating vital energy.' We help you understand and optimize the fundamental forces that determine your healthspan and lifespan.
"The superior doctor prevents sickness; the mediocre doctor attends to impending sickness; the inferior doctor treats actual sickness." — Huangdi Neijing
Our Four Pillars
The foundation of everything we create and share.
Evidence-Based
循证医学
We curate the latest longevity research from peer-reviewed journals and translate complex science into actionable guidance.
Ancient Wisdom
古老智慧
2,500+ years of Traditional Chinese Medicine wisdom, validated by modern science and millions of practitioners worldwide.
Practical Application
实际应用
No theoretical fluff—every concept comes with specific, actionable steps you can implement in your daily life.
East Meets West
中西结合
We bridge Eastern and Western approaches to health, finding the synthesis where both traditions enhance each other.
Our Guiding Principle
我们的指导原则
We believe longevity isn't about living forever—it's about living fully. True health encompasses physical vitality, mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual fulfillment. Our mission is to help you optimize all four dimensions so you can contribute your gifts to the world for as long as possible.
How We Work
我们的方法
Every piece of content undergoes rigorous review. We cite sources, explain mechanisms, and acknowledge uncertainty where it exists. We respect both the ancient wisdom that has stood the test of millennia and the cutting-edge research that continues to advance our understanding of human health.
What We're Building
我们正在构建什么
VitalYang is more than an education platform—it's a movement. We're building a community of health-conscious individuals who understand that their daily choices compound into decades of vitality or decline. Together, we're proving that aging gracefully isn't just possible, it's predictable when you follow the right principles.
Our Core Values
These principles guide every piece of content we create.
Prevention Over Treatment
The best medicine is never needing medicine. We focus on building resilient health that prevents disease before it starts.
Individual Variation
What works for one person may not work for another. We teach principles that you can adapt to your unique constitution and circumstances.
Sustainable Habits
Extreme approaches rarely last. We promote gradual, sustainable changes that become effortless parts of your lifestyle.
Holistic Integration
Sleep, nutrition, movement, mindset, relationships, and purpose are all interconnected. We address the whole person.
Honest Communication
We won't hype or oversimplify. When the science is uncertain, we say so. When something is traditional wisdom rather than proven fact, we make the distinction clear.
Accessible Excellence
Expert-level knowledge shouldn't be gatekept. We make the world's best longevity research available in clear, understandable language.
Our Journey
How VitalYang came to be.
A Personal Quest
VitalYang was born from a personal health journey—a search for answers that combined the rigor of Western medicine with the holistic wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Thousands of Hours
We've synthesized research from Harvard, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, and leading longevity researchers like David Sinclair, Valter Longo, Peter Attia, and Andrew Huberman.
East Meets West
We discovered that the most powerful insights emerge when ancient TCM principles are validated by modern research—and when modern research rediscovers what practitioners have known for millennia.
Sharing the Knowledge
Now we're making this integrated wisdom accessible to everyone—through our Longevity University, practical articles, and daily practices that anyone can implement.
Why 'YangQi'?
养 (Yǎng)
To nourish, cultivate, nurture, raise. This character embodies the active practice of caring for something so it can grow and flourish.
气 (Qì)
Vital energy, breath, life force. Qi is the animating force of all living things—the energy that flows through meridians and powers every function of your body.
Together, 养气 represents the art and practice of cultivating your vital energy—the foundation of health and longevity in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
