Today I have the pleasure of speaking with a true master: Dr. Daoshing Ni, or Dr. Dao, as he is affectionately called by his patients. Dr. Dao is the 38th generation in a family lineage of Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors and Taoist masters. The son of Taoist master Hua-Ching Ni, Dr. Dao is considered to be one of the foremost authorities on TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and fertility in America today.
He is the author of the bestselling book, The Tao of Fertility, and together with his brother, Dr. Mao, he's the co-founder of Yosan University of Chinese Medicine and the holistic medical center, the Tao of Wellness in Santa Monica, California.
