  • my fave show to listen to!

    Hot Water has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts and such a great addition to my weekly listens. I love the mix of health, TCM, integrative wellness, and so many other topics that I probably wouldn’t have explored on my own.

    Sara Jane brings on such a diverse range of guests, all with completely different perspectives and areas of expertise, which keeps every episode interesting. She’s inquisitive and asks thoughtful questions that lead to really great conversations. I always walk away ... more

  • Unqualified to give health or medical advise

    She’s not a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, or medical doctor but a business woman with something to sell. Shes not a trained feng shui practitioner either. Stay for the anecdotes of a new Angelino discovering ‘new age,’ but go elsewhere for health advice.

  • Eat To Heal Review

    I look forward to Sara Jane’s new episodes each week and the latest one with Serena Poon was no disappointment! I enjoyed hearing her personal story about her parents and how that led her to taking initiative to better her health from the inside out. For the past couple years I have made it a point to shop at local farmers markets and increase variation in my meals and this episode confirmed I’m on the right path towards living well. Thanks for your insight and expertise!

#82 - The ABCs of Raising American Born Chinese—with Peter Liu
Q: What advice did your parents give you about choosing a career?
