Food Therapy is a core modality within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), based on the understanding that food affects each individual differently depending on their unique constitution and health patterns. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Food Therapy is highly personalized and developed only after a practitioner has identified your specific TCM Pattern Diagnosis (also known as Pattern Differentiation).

In Chinese Medicine, food is considered a form of medicine—each ingredient carries distinct energetic properties that can either support or disrupt balance within the body. Because of this, Food Therapy plans are tailored to each individual’s unique needs, aiming to restore harmony and address underlying imbalances.

For optimal results, Food Therapy is often combined with other supportive modalities such as Chinese herbal medicine, lifestyle adjustments, and education. This comprehensive approach also integrates philosophies from functional nutrition principles to promote long-term health and well-being.
