What you get out…is a direct reflection of what you put in. Let’s optimize your whole digestive system by pouring in the good and new, while moving out the accumulated stagnations of old.
Ancient food therapy principles comprise one of our favorite pillars of Chinese medicine. The simplest form of natural medicine starts in the kitchen. The basis of our physical and mental health is formed upon our decisions of what we fuel our bodily vessel with.
Our holistic approach to optimizing your gut health integrates multiple modalities:
∴ Customized Food Therapy education for your pattern
∴ Acupuncture with comprehensive dietary intake
∴ Herbal Medicine suggestions
Eastern Food Therapy + Nutrition principles are based on some different core concepts in comparison to Western models.
Rather than focusing primarily on quantitative data and the numerical balance between macronutrients (carbs, proteins, fats), Eastern methods account for important qualitative properties of food that are broken down into the categories of:
∴ Temperature profile
∴ Flavor profile
∴ Yin & Yang balance
∴ Organ channel entered
∴ Elemental connection
Every different type of naturally occurring food has its own unique placement in these categories. This includes fruits, vegetables, meats, whole grains, seaweeds, mushrooms, herbs, and spinces.
The primary organ channels that determine digestive health are the Stomach and Spleen. Other channels to factor in are the Liver, Small Intestine, and Large Intestine.
Our nutritional therapist understands these qualitative placements in order to optimize your digestion most effectively. The different seasons of our lives, as aligned with the external earth and with our internal cyclical nature, are also accounted for in this understanding.
We find it key to cultivate a good relationship with your good gut flora and microbiome.
We also believe in breaking up with the bad gut flora that may be thriving in the wake of current dietary decisions.
∴ Prebiotics
∴ Probiotics
∴ Ingesting good bacteria
∴ Cleansing out bad bacteria
These are all key topics in maximizing your microbiome’s health potential.
Outside of just what nutrients you’re putting into your bodily vessel, there are other important factors for major consideration in understanding your gut.
There is an inextricable association with your emotions, stress levels, how and where you eat, intention and focus when you eat, relationship to food during developmental years, physical movement regiments, awareness of bodily eliminations, and timing in earthly seasons.
