Dr. Qizhi Gao

Bigu Qigong

In 1996, Dr. Gao taught a Qigong instructor program, which included both classic and modern Qigong excises for the purpose of prevention and treatment of diseases. At the end of the program, one student asked him: “Dr. Gao, we learned so much on Qigong in this class from common disease to cancer. But we didn’t learn how to help weight problem, which over 50% people are overweight in this country.” So he decided to share Bigu Qigong. 

He then conducted the first study with 12 people. The study result was a really encouraging, as he expected.”…(Twelve Subjects) in the two-week study, there was a significant mean weight loss of 11.2 pounds (5.06 kg) (p<. 0001); mean weight loss per day was 0.9 pounds (0.41 kg)” — Qigong and Weight Loss: Qi as a food sourcePresented at the Third World Conference on Medical Qigong, Beijing, China, 1996.

To date, thousands of people have learned the practice of Bigu Qigong through his class and the minimum average weight loss is 6 lbs for a group over the two week period. Last few years, he  started to train instructors to meet the demand. In the instructor class students kept asking him to write a book to share Bigu Qigong. 

In 2017, Dr. Gao wrote and released a book called Breathing Yourself Thin to help introduce people to the concepts of Bigu Qigong.

Additionally, Dr. Gao developed and launched a comprehensive program to teach anyone Bigu Qigong, available as a online course where Dr. Gao and qualified instructors will provide feedback and direction.

Bigu Qigong is a safe and effective method for weight loss, which uses the exercise to reduce caloric intake under self-control; however, for the lay qigong practitioner it is necessary to have an experienced teacher to guide them.

Bigu is a viable protocol for long-term, sustained weight loss. “
