Holistic Nutrition

The foundation of Holistic Nutrition is tradition based food wisdom coupled with current nutritional research, which encourages a balanced approach to nutritional intake.  While whole, local, seasonal and organic foods are the cornerstone of Holistic Nutrition, this approach is also combined with the principles and theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine to harmonize one’s diet and maximize health and well being.  Focus is placed on the energetic, nutrition content and vitality of food rather than labeling foods as “good” and “bad.”  Moderation and flexibility of one’s diet is emphasized so that a healthy nutritional lifestyle can be maintained long term.

Nutritional Consultation
This in depth consultation includes a thorough assessment of your nutritional, lifestyle and medical history, as well as your nutritional goals.  Tongue and pulse are also taken during this consultation to assess the body from  a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective.  A nutritional plan to address your health and goals is then developed that is practical and maintainable.  Follow up holistic nutrition consultations are available for continued support and modification as needed.
