TCM Diet and Healthy Aging

Duration: 5 hours

Description:

Understanding diet therapy via TCM pattern discrimination is the single best way for students and practitioners to clarify for lay patients the myriad and often confusing information propagated by the fad-diet industry.

This class will examine the core, underlying patterns which commonly present in chronic disease with discussion and exercises aimed at constructing a dietary plan ad hoc for an individual patient's presenting patterns of imbalance. A list of foods will be identified according to their TCM flavor, nature, tropism and major organs affected.

• Identify foods according to their TCM classifications
• Demonstrate adjunctive therapies as well as explain and advise patients on life-style considerations to further empower and restore well-being
