We encourage all of our patients to choose an organic, whole foods diet that has minimal sugar, white flour products, synthetic additives, or other ingredients that may be difficult to pronounce. This is an important first step, a major dietary change that universally effects everybody in a positive way.

We each possess unique constitutions and preferences, which makes developing a “one-size-fits-all” nutritional plan impossible. Therefore, our next step is to individually develop and mold nutritional guidelines for each patient. We weigh several factors during this process. For example, some people respond better to a raw food-based diet, because they are yin-deficient (dry and over-heated), while those who are yang-deficient (cold and depleted) require predominantly cooked food.

By examining and restructuring your nutritional habits, we strive to create a sustainable, healthy eating plan that you can incorporate long-term. This approach is very different from traditional, short-term diets, which rarely produce lasting results. If your diet feels unnatural, forced, or excessively uncomfortable, then there’s probably little chance of it being a viable long-term solution. Instead, our goal is to help you incrementally adjust your daily habits until you’ve fully adopted a new system of nutrition.

Our eating habits are closely related to how well we manage stress, express our emotions, and maintain awareness of our core beliefs. We frequently turn to food for gratification and comfort, which often indicates a deeper imbalance in the mind. Our ultimate goal is to address these root causes, so that you can make positive, lasting changes.
