The Balancing Point: An Innovative New Radio Talk Show About Traditional Chinese Medicine

THE BALANCING POINT

An Innovative Radio Talk Show About Traditional Chinese Medicine

8:00 - 9:00 AM, Thursdays, KEST 1450 AM

There is a strong interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine. How does it work? How can we apply it to improving our health? The Balancing Point strives provide answers. The format is casual dialogue with listeners who bring their health concerns to the table. John navigates options available from Western and Eastern Medicine with common sense and humor.

A devoted listenership has been created since the inception of the show in December 2005. Regular listeners tune in weekly. John relies on and values his listeners to co-create the show with him each week with their great questions. The listeners rely on John to provide quality health education. It is a dynamic partnership. For podcasts, blogs and current episodes visit: www.thebalancingpoint.net

"Talking to John on his health radio show is like chatting with your best buddy, only he's really articulate and brings out the best in you. It's no wonder his morning show on KEST is so popular in the San Francisco Bay Area."
