Nutrition according to TCM


The right nutrition is essential. It must fit like a tailor-made suit, which is why my consultations are made to measure for each person individually. The key is finding the right balance. We have never known more about nutrition than we do today and yet people are no healthier than they were in the past. On the contrary, certain food-related diseases are gaining ground rapidly. Something seems to be going wrong. The right food can help you avoid illness, as well as helping recovery and well-being and boosting vital energy.

Nutrition consultation is aimed both at healthy, interested people and at people with health problems. I can provide you with support in dealing with weight problems, diabetes, pregnancy, headaches, infertility, menstrual problems and problems of the digestive tract, psychological illness and many more.

Diet is important. Even if food is not considered to be a medication, eating or avoiding certain foods can have an important effect on our bodies. In TCM, foods are divided into various categories. One such category is flavours: sweet, salty, bitter, hot and sour. Another is temperatures: cold, cool, neutral, warm and hot. Many of the problems that plague people nowadays are due to incorrect nutrition. Patients need to be shown – according to their type – how they should change their dietary habits and how to avoid making mistakes. A person’s wellbeing can often be improved by making only minor changes to their habits..
