Apr 30, 2019
In this episode, we have a powerful conversation with Lee Holden, a world-renowned teacher of Qi Gong, Meditation and Holistic Health Care Practices and the owner of a successful holistic health center in Santa Cruz, California. As an acupuncturist and Doctor of Chinese Medicine, Lee has figured out how to translate Eastern medicine for our modern Western lives.
Lee has been a Public Television favorite since 2006. His programs have aired on 105 stations, reaching 50 million households. Lee's latest show, Less Stress and More Energy, is currently airing around the country.
Lee created “Healthy Movement, Healthy Mind” and “Beyond the Scale” for the Weight Watchers organization in 2016 and 2017. These programs were acclaimed as the best pilot programs the company has ever run. Lee has also worked as a consultant for companies like Google, Apple, 3 Com, University of California, and a few major motion pictures with Happy Gilmore Productions.
Currently, Lee is producing a documentary called “Superhuman”, a film exploring the human potential. Lee is also assistant producer and starring in the docu-series “Quantum Qi”, coming out in 2019. You can find out more about Lee and his work at, https://www.holdenqigong.com/
