“When a patient is ill first regulate their diet and lifestyle.” Sun Simiao, Tang Dynasty physician No Chinese Medical practice is complete without incorporating Dietary Therapy. It is the foundation for a healthy lifestyle and a means to heal and prevent illness. This is why I provide you with a wealth of information and resources on diet within your Wellness Portfolio. It is important to make the distinction between Medicinal Dietary Therapy and the practice of eating healthy, both of which are a part of Chinese Medicine.   Medicinal Dietary Therapy is very specific for each individual; similar to an herbal formula designed for your condition. Within Medicinal Dietary Therapy certain recommendations may be made which are intended for short-term use as a healing aid. These recommendations may include cooking with herbs, strictly limiting certain foods and/or incorporating foods not typically recommended for long-term consumption. This is not to be confused with the practice of eating healthy. Unfortunately we often see small bits of Medicinal therapy being applied out of context resulting in a plethora of misinformation. Food is medicine and eating healthy is a way of life. We must eat to live and therefore we are, and are affected in every way imaginable by what and how we put food into our body. Why do I look, behave, feel a certain way - Who am I? A significant portion is determined by what I eat, how I eat and my relationship to food. A healthy Diaita, Latin from Greek meaning “a way of life”, is the foundation for a long, fulfilling and prosperous life.
