I'm a university professor with a PhD in cell biology. I grew up with the herbal soups and teas of Chinese tradition, and I spent my career studying how cells grow, repair and age.
At 46, people often guess I'm much younger. I'm here to share the simple herbal habits I actually use, and to explain, as a scientist, what we really know about them.
