Food Therapeutics & Nutrition

A HEALING APPROACH PRIORITIZING FOOD AS MEDICINE

Food Therapeutics and Nutrition sessions offer an approach to health that privileges food for healing. These sessions will provide a way to help you understand your individual relationship to foods and which ones can bring you optimal health. You will not be asked to do expensive lab work or purchase multiple supplements.

Before our first session, you will be asked to fill out an intake form and you will also provide me with an honest food log of at least 3 days of your current diet, including beverages.

Once I receive that information, we will meet (either in person or on Zoom) for approximately an hour to discuss it. During this time, I will also assess your pulse and tongue. We will come up with a strategy for you to alter your diet in reasonable ways and you will have a greater understanding of your individual constitution; our plans will include beneficial foods, meals, and even cooking techniques.

Any condition can be improved with dietary changes. Eating well and eating foods appropriate to your constitution can even make your acupuncture treatments more effective. The following conditions may greatly improve, even resolve, with targeted dietary changes:

Acid Reflux (GERD)
Arthritis (both Osteo and Rheumatoid)
IBS
Colitis
Chronic Constipation
Migraines
Hormonal Imbalance
SIBO

As with acupuncture treatment, I view this work as a true collaboration with you. I am here to help, not judge. One of the deep passions of my life is food, and I believe it is one of the primary ways we can take care of ourselves and others.

Initial session: $100.00
Follow-up session: $75.00
