Jason M. Jian, MD, PhD

Jason M. Jian, MD, PhD, is a psychiatrist based in Atlanta, Georgia, with 14 years of clinical experience. Prior to this, he practiced as a cardiologist in Beijing, China, for nine years. He is also a physician-scientist with more than 30 publications indexed in PubMed. Outside of medicine, he is an amateur tennis player who developed a unique approach to playing with two rackets simultaneously.

He actively promotes high-intensity exercise as a therapeutic strategy for mental health conditions such as depression and attention disorders. He advocates for full-body workouts that emphasize physical intensity and integrates sports—particularly tennis—into exercise routines to create a novel “sport-exercise” model that is both engaging and enjoyable.

Dr. Jian seeks to understand human biology, mood, and medicine through the lens of quantum mechanics and general relativity—two of the most influential scientific frameworks in modern history. Using first-principles thinking, he explores foundational approaches to complex issues such as the opioid-stimulant crisis and the epidemics of obesity and depression. He also reexamines concepts of disease, aging, and treatment through ideas inspired by quantum phenomena, including coherence, incoherence, and decoherence.
