In 2021, John founded of the The Min Jie School of traditional Chinese medicine, studymedicaltraditions.org, an online platform to keep indigenous medical traditions alive. Key Takeaways Medicine was practiced by early human beings. The wisdom of ancient cultures, known as paleomedicine, is worth keeping alive. Western medicine is highly developed indigenous medicine amalgamated with science and technology. Western medicine’s institutional approach has lost touch with the patients. Chinese medicine is complementary to Western medicine. It fills gaps where Western medicine fails. The simplest and safest solution is the best solution. Look for the bigger picture in terms of not only the effectiveness of a medical treatment, but the risks and side effects. People can get the best healing in the world but must maintain the healing they receive. Min Jie Chinese Medicine School has two branches: The first for Chinese medicine practitioners and the second for self-healing. The school is the first in the world to combine medical qi gong and stone needle therapy, an ancient form of acupuncture using rare obsidian that stimulates the meridian points without breaking the skin. John Mini’s Eight steps for aging well: Find a Purpose: Having a strong reason to be alive is crucial. This purpose should be deeply personal and independent of others, even your spouse. Stay Physically Active: As you age, it's vital to stay fit. Treat it as seriously as an athlete would. Limit Media Consumption: Reduce distractions from television, phones, and the internet. Create and Act on a Bucket List: Make a list of everything you want to do in life and prioritize completing those activities. 5. Eat Well: Avoid processed foods, buy organic, reduce sugar, and be moderate with alcohol. 6. Minimize Western Medicine: Use pharmacological medications sparingly, opting for alternative medicines when safe and effective. Develop a Spiritual Practice: Engage in a practice that is deeply meaningful and resonates with you. Remove Negativity: Eliminate sources of negativity from your life as much as possible.

Key Takeaways Purpose is innate is an innate tool within every human that is waiting to be ignited and shared with the world. Research show people with purpose live longer, healthier lives—reducing the risk of developing dementia and strokes, maintaining mobility, and leading to higher job satisfaction. The environment for frontline employees in senior living is too transactional. Transactional jobs don’t work for people “called” to make a difference. Research shows employees who feel meaningful connection to each other and to their workplace stay longer, perform better and have higher job satisfaction. Most people live with a lot of living with a lot of “shoulds,” moving through life with limiting beliefs of not being enough, which results in burnout. Purpose helps shed the “shoulds” and move into a space of owning our innate gifts and perspectives.
