Healing Steps to Wellness Podcast

Dr. Lai and Mei with Rochester clinic logoHealing Steps to Wellness is your guide to whole-person health—one conversation, one step, and one bite at a time. Hosted by Meiping Liu and Dr. Jengyu Lai, the podcast features inspiring clinicians, educators, and community leaders who share practical, evidence-informed approaches to healing the body, mind, and spirit.

Rooted in lifestyle medicine and enhanced by functional medicine, regenerative medicine, and biomechanics, each episode explores how nutrition, movement, sleep, stress resilience, social connection, and purpose work together to restore balance and promote long-term wellness. We connect cutting-edge clinical insights with everyday habits that support the body’s innate capacity to heal.

Listeners will gain actionable “steps”—from plant-forward cooking and mindful movement to optimizing foot and ankle mechanics, improving mobility, and supporting tissue repair and recovery. Through compassionate conversations and real-life stories, Healing Steps to Wellness moves beyond quick fixes and trends, empowering individuals to take an active role in their health while fostering stronger, healthier communities and a more sustainable planet.

Tune in, stay curious, and take your next step toward lifelong vitality.
