His Journey
Pioneered lifestyle medicine for addiction recovery, creating a groundbreaking rehab program that evolved into the Chi Cycle lifestyle — a health-boosting, fat-burning, feel-good daily rhythm.
Has taught thousands of people worldwide through workshops, retreats, and individual sessions.
A sought-after speaker and educator
Jost is passionate about sharing mystical medicinal modalities — the invisible flow of Qi, the hidden patterns behind symptoms, and the profound healing power of daily rhythms. He believes lifestyle is the most powerful medicine, and his mission is to show everyone how to transform ordinary daily routines to support transformation.
Body clock is more than physiology — it’s a living rhythm that links your body, mind, and spirit to the cycles of nature and the cosmos. Jost’s Chi Cycle shows how every hour is an opportunity, and every organ a gateway to transformation.
Why Timing Changes Everything
Most approaches to health tell you what to do. The Chi Cycle reveals that it’s the timing that transforms everything.
Your body has a natural 24-hour rhythm. This is aligned with circadian but also cosmic cycles. By synching your daily activities with these rhythms, ordinary routines — eating, sleeping, moving, working — become healing rituals.
The Chi Cycle turns your day into medicine. It helps you:
Eliminate symptoms naturally
Unlock steady energy
Sleep deeply and wake refreshed
Boost mood and creativity
Reverse ageing from the inside out
Reconnect with your spiritual purpose
Health becomes simple, natural, and sustainable when you live by the clock that nature designed for you. And because paying attention to nature raises consciousness, following the flow of heaven’s time evolves the soul.
Your large intestine is a major player in change and transformation. It is the hub of emotional and physical detoxing. It also plays a role in movement and expression of your emotions, and connected to your capacity to either ‘let go’ or get stuck holding on to things.
Your stomach is the origin of all chi and blood. If your stomach chi is strong you will be healthy and full of energy. Connected to your capacity to rebound from stress and challenges of life. Influences your capacity to nurture and to be nurtured.
Your spleen is the main organ involved with digestion and the production of chi. A strong spleen means strong muscles and lots of energy. Responsible for memory, focusing and concentration. Involved in issues of nourishment, on both a physical and psychic level.
Your heart is responsible for pumping blood and making blood. It nourishes the mind and spirit making you more receptive to change. Directs, integrates and coordinates aspects of your psychic life. A strong heart means a strong mind, good memory and balanced emotions.
Your small intestine helps with digestion. It has an influence on judgement and gives you the power of discernment, and the ability to make good decisions. Separates the ‘clear’ from the ‘turbid’ in digestion and on a psychic level. Plays a crucial role in the happy unfolding of life.
Your bladder stores and excretes urine, but it also participates in the transformation of fluids necessary for the production of urine. Influences your capacity to go with the flow and whether you hold on to or can let go of grudges.
Your kidneys determine your constitutional strength and your mental and physical strength. With strong kidneys your willpower and vital force is strong. You will have the drive, determination, enthusiasm and persistence to pursue goals. Kidneys influence your ability to stand up to emotional stress and weak kidneys mean you will be easily discouraged and lack vitality.
Your pericardium is closely related to your heart. It covers and protects the heart. It also has a strong influence on mental and emotional states, the formation of relationships and healthy personal interactions. Joy and happiness are connected to your pericardium.
Your san jiao is a function not a physical organ. It directs fluids and chi to all your organs. It affects the flow of your emotions and your capacity to relate to people. San jiao time (9pm – 11pm) can inspire people to have sex (especially men) as they are more likely to open up emotionally to their partners.
Your decision making originates from your gallbladder. Controls the spirit of initiative and the courage to make changes. A strong gallbladder gives you the ‘gall’ to change your life, to follow your dreams and to implement new ideas.
Your liver stores blood, regulates chi flow throughout your body for all physiological, mental and emotional functions, and it supports recovery. With a healthy liver comes resoluteness and drive, and the capacity to plan your life. Happiness occurs when liver chi flows freely.
Your lungs are the intermediary between you and the world. They build immunity to allergens and bugs, but they also build your immunity to the negative influences of other people. In charge of the mental-emotional sphere.
