Yin Yang You: A Collaboration 5,000 Years in the Making

December 14, 2021/1 Comment/in Blog/by Kevin Guest

Those who know me know that I’m always trying to better understand the world around me. It’s not uncommon for me to be flipping among three or four books at a time. Yin Yang You: Biohacking with Ancient Codes is one book that’s caught my attention recently.

Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Rob Sinnott on the set of The Dr. Oz Show to discuss Yin Yang You.

The breakthrough book, a collaboration between health experts in the U.S. and China, is a fascinating look at the centuries-old practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The art and science of TCM center on Qi (pronounced “chee”) — the life force that flows through your body.

“For much of the West, TCM remains a mystery,” says Dr. Mehmet Oz, the book’s co-author. “Thinking about health from a different approach feels more intimidating and unsettling than it does exciting and titillating.”

A primary mission for Yin Yang You is to “demystify the world of TCM. Not to replace Western thinking, treatments, and approaches, but to learn how East and West can work together,” Dr. Oz continues.

Dr. Oz collaborated with Dr. Anlong Xu, the president of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, on the book. Researchers and scientists across two continents — including USANA scientists — worked to better understand how TCM can optimize our health for today’s world.

“Our whole goal at USANA is to help people better their lives and teach the importance of health,” says Dr. Rob Sinnott, USANA’s chief scientific officer. “With our contribution to the book, our hope is to help practitioners in Eastern and Western methods work better together. Page after page, readers will discover ways holistic medicine can support health, strength, wellness, and longevity.”

East Meets West

Yin Yang You brings readers a unique and powerful literary and scientific collaboration. Nowhere before have such forces joined to build the bridge between Eastern and Western medicine in this way. Through humorous stories, down-to-earth examples, and unique recipes, this book guides you through traditional Chinese practices that open minds to true, global holistic medicine.

Kevin Guest, the author of All the Right Reasons, visited with The Place on Fox-13 in Salt Lake City on Aug. 16, 2019. Dr. Mehmet Oz, in town to speak at USANA’s 2019 Global Convention, joined Kevin as well.

Kevin appeared on The Place during USANA’s 2019 Global Convention. The event, which welcomed thousands of independent business owners from around the world, included keynotes from Gary Vaynerchuk and Dr. Mehmet Oz, among others.

“A year ago Kevin Guest came on and launched a book here on this program,” Dr. Oz says. “And the resulting sales have allowed him to feed over a million people.”

As part of the event, attendees packed 250,000 — a quarter-million — meals for children and families in Los Angeles. And they did it in just three days!

“I think it’s necessary for us to think about where we are, where we’re at and how we can improve ourselves,” Kevin says.

Kevin Guest, the author of All the Right Reasons, visited with Good Things Utah on ABC-4 in Salt Lake City on Aug. 16, 2019.

When he published his book last year, Kevin set an ambitious goal to provide 1 million meals for children in need (one book sale equals 40 meals delivered in cooperation with the USANA True Health Foundation).

Well, less than a year later, mission accomplished!

And now, Kevin’s friend Dr. Oz upped the ante (as you’ll hear in the above video clip from Good Things Utah). America’s Doctor challenged the author to deliver 2 million meals through proceeds from the book.

Challenge accepted!

The Dorothy Principle: Dr. Oz and the Story of Pearl

April 10, 2019/0 Comments/in Blog/by Kevin Guest

If you watched The Dr. Oz Show episode in which I talked about All the Right Reasons, you heard me tell the story of Dorothy, the namesake for The Dorothy Principle.

Her story taught me the very important principle: Nothing is more important than relationships.

When I shared that story with Dr. Mehmet Oz, he immediately thought of Pearl, a woman he’s worked with most of his career.

Recently, Dr. Oz shared this story with me and he provided me with Pearl’s permission to share it with all of you.

Meet Pearl – the housekeeper of the cardiac floor at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. I’ve known Pearl for most of my career in medicine. Without Pearl, rooms wouldn’t be cleaned in time to house recovering patients who need to leave the ICU. Pearl creates a pristine environment that reduces infection and gives confidence to patients and their families.”

Pearl is a wonderful example of The Dorothy Principle.

Dr. Oz continues:

“Pay attention to the Pearls in your life. Get engaged with others and your challenges will take care of themselves. Judge us by how we treat those around us.”

I invite each of you to live The Dorothy Principle and continue to develop and nurture relationships.
