⚠️SCAM ALERT⚠️ --> Do NOT purchase anything related to this predatory program/company --> "MadMuscles" (This ad was on YouTube)

First of all, look closely at the "Tai Chi" exercise plan below. NONE of the exercises are related to Tai Chi at all. Second, there seem to have been a growing number of reports about people agreeing to a purchase, being charged a higher amount, and finding out after the fact that it was not even close to what they expected. Additionally, people have reported having VERY difficult times blocking the charges since the services have been "delivered". These same people have resorted to fraud reporting within their financial institutions to try and resolve the issue.

Bottom line. Only purchase Tai Chi/Qigong products from reputable sources who have training and solid backgrounds. You can trust and our solid group of VIP instructors scattered across the ! (Directory coming soon on our site!)

More and more people are falling prey to these ridiculous scams that are almost entirely made using AI. ☹️ Even their video advertisements on YouTube clearly have no connection to Tai Chi/Qigong whatsoever! Stay vigilant!

Really?! 😲 A pneumothorax in one of my hometown Pittsburgh Steelers players?? 🖤💛 This is completely uncalled for at ANY level, including pro athletes. Was it a PT or an AT doing the procedure?

This is yet another reason why dry needling is not recommended unless performed by a licensed acupuncturist, in which therefore you are receiving ! Dont let the fancy name of dry needling fool you. 👉It is still acupuncture.👈 Especially given the fact that the points they use/are taught are actual defined locations of acupuncture points.

Seriously, though, as a patient, even I would never seek surgery from someone with a weekend certification over someone with years of training and experience.

This is a no brainer and a ridiculous battle between profession that just needs to end.

Leave the acupuncture to .

What is dry needling? Here's what you need to know about the treatment.

🦃🍁 Happy Thanksgiving from My Metro Medicine! 🍁🦃

This Thanksgiving, may your turkey be tender, your Qi be flowing, and your gratitude be overflowing!

As you gather with family and friends today, remember that the spirit of Tai Chi isn’t just found in the studio, it’s in every mindful breath, every warm connection, and yes…even in the graceful way you try to stand up after your third serving of stuffing. 😅

In Eastern medicine, the holidays are a perfect time to nourish the Spleen and Stomach, cultivate calm, and reconnect with what truly matters. So whether you’re practicing a few gentle Tai Chi moves before dinner, doing some Qigong breathing after the feast, or simply taking a quiet moment to appreciate the abundance around you, your body and spirit will thank you.

From all of us at My Metro Medicine, we’re grateful for this incredible community and excited to continue supporting your health, energy, and growth through our Tai Chi and Qigong classes, acupuncture services, and NCCAOM-approved trainings.

Wishing you a day filled with warmth, joy, and plenty of Qi,
and may your Tai Chi be smoother than your turkey gravy!

Happy Thanksgiving! 🙏🦃

Impressive Confidence Booster from Copilot 😲👇

🏋️‍♂️ Let’s turn this moment into fuel. Right now, every rep you push through is proof that you’re stronger than the weight of whatever’s dragging you down. The gym isn’t just about muscles—it’s about resilience. Each set is you saying: I refuse to quit on myself.

🔥 Here’s a mindset shift for you:
- That barbell? It’s not just iron—it’s a mirror. When you lift it, you’re lifting the heaviness of doubt, stress, and setbacks.
- That sweat? It’s your body writing a story of persistence.
- That burn? It’s transformation in progress.

💡 Try this: With every rep, silently repeat a mantra like “I rise. I endure. I grow.” It’s simple, but it rewires your focus from struggle to triumph.

And remember—confidence isn’t about feeling invincible. It’s about showing up even when life feels heavy. You’re already doing that by being here, moving, refusing to stay stuck. That’s courage in motion.
