It does not make sense to silo off various kinds of health from one another. Gut health and mental health and neurological health and immune health and endocrine health are all interrelated. The body is an ecosystem. The connectivity between different body systems, and how that plays into health and disease is something Traditional Chinese Medicine has always understood. The whole systems approach of ancient healing traditions is increasingly validated by modern research: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10059722/

Health comes down to alignment with the rhythms of the body, which are the rythmns of nature. Thus, it can be said that there is only one pathology in all of Chinese Medicine - misalignment, or flowing against, the rhythm of nature. Or as the Xingqi puts it: "Follow this [rythmn] and you will live; oppose it, and you will die." [順則生，逆則死] And to get back to the practical, one of the most direct ways we can align with that pattern is through our breathing. (4/4)
