Holistic Nutrition: Building Evidence-Based Meal Plans

Food is the first medicine. In Oriental medicine, the diet is the foundation of health. Holistic nutrition goes beyond counting calories; it considers the energetic properties of food.

The Five Elements and Diet

TCM categorizes food by taste and thermal properties. Balancing these elements according to a person's constitution and the season can prevent disease before it starts.

Evidence-Based Approach
