Dr Andrew Miles has been deeply immersed in Chinese Medical Arts from a young age while growing up with his Taiwanese step-father. This led him to pursue postgraduate studies at the Canadian College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and later at the Chengdu University of TCM, specialising in Advanced Diagnostics and Integrated Medicine.
He has lived and studied for many years in China, learning under the tutelage of numerous top Chinese Medicine doctors and mentors with notable influences from Dr Jin Zhao and his kung fu/daoist teacher Xun Guang Long.
During his time in China, he actively practiced Chinese medicine, consulted for TCM focussed pharmaceutical companies, taught martial arts, and has leveraged his fluent Chinese to produce a number of TCM based translations for Dr Jin Zhao.
He is heavily involved and understands the processes around Chinese Medicine within laboratory settings, including a deep knowledge of the pharmacological properties of herbal constituents and the consolidated application of this within the framework of Chinese Medicine.
This is evident in his progressive work at Botanical Biohacking, which produces some of the highest quality herbs and herbal teas in the industry.
In addition to his professional life, his hobbies and passions include qigong, tea, medicine and hiking.
