NUTRITION
Food is a first line of defense when it comes to restoring and balancing the body. In this regard - Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) upholds the principle of "food as medicine."
​
Dietary changes are often essential to furthering the healing process, as the average fast-paced lifestyle condones food choices that can wreak havoc on digestion and systemic health.

Eating with nutritional awareness, in season, and in concert with your environment, can be one of the key elements to improving overall health.
​
Yet, the reality is that each of us has unique nutritional needs - just like our overall health, metabolism, digestive system, and activity levels all vary. So do people!
​
At its core, nutrition is the foundation of health - it's about consistently fueling your body with a balanced variety of food sources. The nutrients in our food power every system in your body - from your brain and muscles to your bones, nerves, skin, and immune defenses.
Eating well not only keeps you energized, it also helps shield you from chronic illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and osteoporosis. All foods contain two main types of nutrients: macronutrients and micronutrients.
Macronutrients - such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats - provide energy in the form of calories and act as the raw materials that build and repair your body’s tissues.
​
Micronutrients - on the other hand, are the vitamins and minerals your body needs in smaller amounts. Though tiny in quantity, these nutrients have a huge impact on how your body functions and thrives.
​
With your health goals in mind, we review and refine your understanding of food and nutrition throughout each treatment session. We aim to support our patients to deepen their nutritional knowledge, and be empowered to make nutritional choices they feel good about, while also understanding the impact they have on their health and fitness overall.​​​
