Ever wonder why bread in Europe doesn’t bloat you—but the same thing in the U.S. does? In this episode, Jimmy Yen, L.Ac. (aka the AcuSensei), shares what he personally experienced on his recent trip to Germany—and what it revealed about the true cause behind bloating, weight gain, and chronic inflammation in the U.S.

If you're eating clean and still struggling with bloating, weight gain, or autoimmune flares, this episode will open your eyes. 👀

🍞 From croissants every morning (with zero bloating!) to observations about obesity, exercise, and food regulation, Jimmy breaks down why European ingredients are fundamentally different—and what YOU can do to level up your health without leaving the U.S.

🧠 Key Highlights:
✅ Why eating croissants in Germany didn’t cause bloating or weight gain
✅ What makes U.S. bread and processed food so inflammatory
✅ Why organic food in the U.S. is still not as "clean" as conventional food in Germany
✅ The real culprit behind most chronic diseases—spoiler: it's not genetics
✅ What pantry size says about your health (you’ll want to hear this!)
✅ How growing your own produce—or supporting local farmers—can change everything

🌱 Takeaway: You don’t need to move to Europe to be healthy. But you do need to be intentional about what you eat, where it comes from, and how it's prepared.

Do you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep? You may have a nutrient deficiency that's affecting your sleep quality. In part 1 of this Insomnia training (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNxydVsQcl4), I outlined the top 5 most common nutrient deficiencies that can affect your quality of sleep.In part 2, I discussed how to boost tryptophan to help you fall asleep faster. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsuLqJkDsqE)In this training, part 3, I discuss which form of Magnesium supplement is best for sleep without the severe gastrointestinal side effects. I also discuss the long term solution to start addressing the potential root cause, which is organ dysfunction. This does not mean go out and buy supplements for these nutrient deficiencies, because that won't solve the problem, it won't solve the root cause. But this training can at least guide you in the right direction to find the root cause.Jimmy Yen, the Acu Sensei

This training is part 2 of 6 videos on improving your Insomnia caused by 5 Nutrient Deficiencies.Part 1 explained how being deficient in 5 nutrients could cause insomnia This video training goes over the first Nutrient deficiency (Tryptophan) and what you can do to safely increase this essential amino acid to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep and have deep sleep healing.Achieve Integrative Health is the #1 rated acupuncture and wellness clinic in Austin, in Texas, and in the United States.

Still tossing and turning at night—even after trying all the “sleep hacks”? You might be missing something more basic… like nutrients. 🧠💤

In this episode, Jimmy Yen, L.Ac. (aka the AcuSensei), kicks off a 6-part deep dive into the real reasons behind your sleep problems—starting with the top 5 nutrient deficiencies that could be causing your insomnia.

📌 This isn’t about popping melatonin or grabbing random magnesium gummies off the shelf. It’s about understanding what your body is lacking—and fixing it at the root.

🧪 What You’ll Learn in Part 1:
🥱 Why these 5 nutrients affect your brain, hormones & circadian rhythm
🌙 How they’re all linked to your body’s ability to make melatonin
💥 Why short-term supplement fixes aren’t solving your long-term sleep issues
🍽 The real first step toward restorative sleep—and it starts with food

🎯 Key Nutrients Covered:

1. Tryptophan (amino acid → serotonin → melatonin)

2. Magnesium (calms nervous system + reduces cortisol)

Most people think intermittent fasting is just “eating in an 8-hour window.” But did you know there are three types of fasting—and each creates very different results?

In this episode, Jimmy Yen, L.Ac. (aka the AcuSensei), breaks down the 3 forms of intermittent fasting used in his clinic—and how to combine them for faster healing and sustainable results.

💡 What You’ll Learn:
✅ Why time-restricted eating alone isn’t enough
✅ The difference between caloric fasting, dietary fasting, and time fasting
✅ Which fasting type gives the fastest results—and which one fails most people
✅ How to avoid the most common mistakes (like protein overload or nutrient deficiency)
✅ Why combining all 3 is the key to “Restorative Longevity”
✅ Who should NOT fast without medical supervision
✅ How real-life patients succeed using this custom approach

🎯 Key Takeaway: One-size-fits-all fasting doesn’t work. Your body needs the right type of fasting for the results you want—and the health conditions you have.

⚠️ Disclaimer: This is not medical advice. Always speak to your physician before starting any fasting or nutrition plan—especially if you’re taking medication or managing a chronic condition.

Think more workouts = better results? Not always. The truth is, the wrong type—or duration—of exercise can drain your energy, shrink your muscles, and trigger fat gain.

In this episode of the Restorative Longevity Podcast, Jimmy Yen, L.Ac., explains how overtraining and poorly timed workouts elevate cortisol, destroy lean tissue, and sabotage long-term health. He also breaks down the four energy sources your body uses—and when they help vs harm.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

🔹 The 4 sources of energy (carbs, fat, protein, ATP)—and which ones promote fat burn

🔹 Why workouts over 60 min trigger cortisol and muscle breakdown

🔹 How HIIT and fasted training backfire when overdone

🔹 When your body burns fat most efficiently (hint: not in HIIT)

🔹 How excess protein raises blood sugar, strains kidneys, and disrupts gut health

🔹 The difference between short-term gains and sustainable longevity

📣 Key Takeaway: Exercise is medicine—but the dose and timing matter. To restore health and build strength, work with your body, not against it.

📚 Topics Covered:

Cortisol and chronic stress from overtraining

ATP vs glucose vs fat energy

How to avoid protein overload and hidden weight gain

Ideal workout duration and intensity for longevity
