Personalized nutrition and lifestyle counseling integrates Traditional Chinese Medicine principles with modern nutritional science to support your unique constitution and healing goals. Rather than one-size-fits-all diets, this approach recognizes that optimal nutrition varies based on your individual constitution, current health patterns, and life circumstances.
This comprehensive guidance addresses not just what you eat, but how, when, and why you eat, along with lifestyle factors that impact your overall health and vitality. The goal is sustainable changes that enhance energy, support healing, and promote long-term wellness.
Nutritional medicine and lifestyle interventions have extensive research validation:
Micronutrient research: Studies link specific nutrients to immune function, energy production, and disease prevention
Anti-inflammatory foods: Research identifies compounds in whole foods that reduce systemic inflammation
Circadian rhythm science: Studies show meal timing and sleep patterns directly affect hormonal balance and metabolism
Stress-nutrition connection: Research demonstrates how chronic stress depletes nutrients and affects digestion
Traditional dietary wisdom: Modern studies validate many traditional food-as-medicine principles from various cultures
Constitutional Assessment

Nutritional Supplementation
When dietary changes alone aren’t sufficient to address specific health concerns, targeted nutritional supplements provide concentrated support for conditions like bone health, digestive function, immune support, or hormonal balance. Based on your comprehensive diagnosis, recommendations may include high-quality vitamins, minerals, probiotics, or specialized formulas that complement your dietary plan and accelerate healing outcomes.
Lifestyle Integration Coaching
Practical strategies for incorporating healthy habits into busy lifestyles, including stress management techniques, movement practices, and sleep optimization
Educational Support
Comprehensive guidance on shopping, cooking techniques, meal planning, and recipe development to empower sustainable healthy choices and long-term success
Your First Consultation: We begin with a comprehensive assessment of your constitution, current symptoms, digestive patterns, and lifestyle habits. Using traditional diagnostic methods alongside detailed health history, we identify your unique nutritional needs and create personalized dietary recommendations that fit your schedule and preferences. When appropriate, nutritional supplements may be recommended to address specific health concerns or nutritional deficiencies identified during your assessment.
During Implementation: You’ll receive practical meal plans, shopping guides, and preparation techniques tailored to your constitution. We start with small, achievable changes — like adjusting meal timing, adding therapeutic spices, or modifying cooking methods — that create noticeable improvements without overwhelming lifestyle disruptions.
Progress Monitoring: Regular check-ins allow us to track improvements in energy, digestion, sleep, and overall well-being. We adjust recommendations based on seasonal changes, life circumstances, and your body’s evolving needs, ensuring sustainable long-term success.
Timeline for Results: Energy levels and digestive function often improve within 1-2 weeks of implementing changes. Sleep quality and mood stabilization typically occur within 2-4 weeks, while deeper healing of your body’s natural foundation develops over 2-3 months of consistent practice. We support you with gradual, achievable goals throughout your healing journey.
Educational Empowerment: Beyond specific recommendations, you’ll learn fundamental principles of Chinese Medicine nutrition, enabling you to make informed food choices independently and adapt your eating patterns as your health evolves
Chinese Medicine nutrition considers the energetic properties of foods — whether they’re warming or cooling, their effect on specific organs, and how they interact with your individual constitution. Rather than just focusing on nutrients, we look at how foods affect your body’s energy and balance.
We make gradual, sustainable changes that fit your lifestyle. Small modifications — like adding warming spices if you tend to feel cold, or eating cooked rather than raw foods — can create significant improvements without major dietary restrictions.
We assess your constitution, current symptoms, digestive patterns, energy levels, and lifestyle during consultation. Your tongue, pulse, and Chinese Medicine diagnosis help us understand which foods will support your healing and which might be contributing to imbalances.
Not everyone requires supplementation. During your comprehensive assessment, we’ll determine whether targeted nutritional supplements would benefit your specific health concerns. When recommended, supplements are chosen based on your individual diagnosis and are meant to work synergistically with your dietary and lifestyle changes to optimize healing outcomes.
We look at sleep patterns, stress management, exercise habits, work environment, and daily routines. Simple changes like consistent sleep times, appropriate exercise for your constitution, or stress-reduction techniques can significantly impact your health and treatment outcomes.
Energy levels and digestion often improve within 1-2 weeks of implementing changes. Sleep and mood improvements may take 2-4 weeks, while deeper constitutional changes develop over 2-3 months of consistent practice. We support you with gradual, achievable goals throughout the process.
