Chinese Dietary Therapy
Chinese Dietary Therapy classifies and utilizes the type or quality of energy a food possesses. When we eat foods, we can take on and benefit from these types of energies. We can also eat foods that contribute to our current imbalances creating or worsening health issues. 
Food qualities are often referred to as the Energetics of Food. For instance Chinese Dietary Therapy classifies whether a food is warming or cooling, moistening or drying, and whether the food’s primary energy enters through your liver or your large intestine, or another energy pathway. These energy pathways correspond to the same 14 meridians acupuncturists and herbalists use in Chinese Medicine.
 

I provide the following Chinese Dietary services: Chinese Dietary Therapy Assessment –to perform this assessment I utilize a questionnaire, meridian points, tongue appearance, and pulses.  Chinese Dietary Therapy is based on Yin / Yang philosophy, and Five Element Theory. Chinese Dietary Therapy practices may be used to address many medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, allergies, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, digestive issues….(see Medical Conditions page).  These practices may also be incorporated into your lifestyle to increase your energy, help you relax, and improve your ability to focus – to mention a just few ways it can improve your quality of life.

Western Nutrition

“Western Nutrition” refers to the study of nutrition that most of us are familiar with in the United States. It is most easily classified as the scientific study of nutrition wherein foods and the process of digestion are broken into their component parts and studied quantitatively. Where foods are concerned it means breaking them into macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates, fats, fibers, etc.), and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, organic acids, enzymes, etc.) Where digestive systems are concerned it means studying the structure and function of each organ. With foods, primary emphasis is placed on quantities such as calories (kcals), grams (gms), milligrams (mgs), International Units (IU’s), exchange units, and so forth. In Western Nutrition we have no expression for the type or quality of energy a food possesses, only the amount of energy. Application of this type of nutrition science is called Medical Nutrition Therapy or Clinical Nutrition.
