Food has been used as medicine in Chinese medicine for centuries. Chinese Nutrition Therapy is based on the idea that what you eat can actively support healing, balance, and resilience, not just fuel the body.
Rather than focusing on calories, macros, or protein counts, Chinese nutrition looks at how foods affect the body energetically. Temperature, texture, flavor, and how a food supports digestion, circulation, and vitality all matter.
Recommendations are based on your Chinese medicine diagnosis, not a one size fits all plan. Two people can eat the same “healthy” food and have very different responses depending on their constitution, digestion, stress levels, and current symptoms. This is where working with a licensed acupuncturist is especially helpful. We guide patients with personalized food recommendations and, when appropriate, Chinese herbal formulas to further support healing.
This approach is especially useful for digestion, fatigue, hormone balance, inflammation, sleep, and immune support. It helps people understand why certain foods feel deeply nourishing while others, even healthy ones, may not feel supportive for them.
Chinese Nutrition Therapy is about listening to the body, working with its natural rhythms, and using food and herbs as practical, everyday tools for health.
