Module 1: Food as Medicine
Eating for Wellness, Connection & Joy

The most powerful place to start a journey to optimal wellbeing and healing is in the kitchen, viewing food as medicine. We’ll begin by discovering how to eat to nourish your gut microbiome — the mini-ecosystem of your digestive tract where the key to your health begins.

We’ll learn about foods and herbs that can help you cleanse your system. At the beginning of most natural medicine protocols, there’s a general consensus that before healing can occur, we need to remove toxins. A detox improves and optimizes the function of your bodily systems.

We’ll also discover how the different tastes or flavors of foods can impact your body through the ancient lens of the Five Phase Theory, the ancient Taoist system of organizing and understanding the ecology of the body.

In this session, you’ll discover:

Your gut microbiome, why it’s important, and what kinds of foods support it
Food toxins and how you can avoid them
How the 5 flavors (bitter, sweet, sour, salty, and pungent) affect different systemic functions in the body, according to traditional medicine
How to use an elimination diet to clarify if you are suffering from food allergies
Foods that help cleanse the body, such as beets, artichokes, nettle, and dandelion

Module 2: The Spring Diet
Foods That Move & Activate the Body

In spring, your body’s energy is waking up and renewing itself, after winter’s time of contemplation and rest. It’s when we often began to clean our house to create a fresh space for something new to happen. This is also the case with our body — spring foods are geared toward supporting liver health and refreshing the body.

During this session, you’ll discover:

Healing green foods and how to sprout seeds, nuts, grains, and beans

Module 4: The Late Summer Diet
Foods to Nourish Digestion

In Chinese medicine, late summer is associated with the Earth element and with digestion itself. The taste associated with the season is sweet; however, this does not refer to our modern idea of refined sugar. In fact, in this module, you’ll learn how sugar is destructive to digestion and significantly sabotages your overall health and wellbeing.

Module 5: The Autumn Diet
Fermentations

In fall, we increase our consumption of sour foods to help us align with the energy of condensation within. This helps tighten up our bodies’ pores and tissues in preparation for the cold to come.

Fermented food satisfies this fundamental nutritional need this time of year as a traditional way to access “sour.” It’s been a dietary aid throughout all of human history, and has just regained popularity again over the past decade or so.

In this session, we’ll renew our relationship with the fabulous world of fermentations and experience the delights of eating sour foods.
