Improve your gut health and overall wellbeing, strengthen your immune system, promote longevity, and heal health issues with the right flavors, foods, and herbs for each season.
Create your “ideal meal” based on your unique constitution and health concerns — as well as dozens of flavorful, healthful recipes to help you thrive.

It wasn’t so long ago that we lived our lives according to the seasons…

During winter’s crisp, short days, we retreated indoors, enjoyed a slower pace, and ate squash, root vegetables, and soup stocks rich in nutrients from animal bones.

We allowed how we lived, ate, and cared for our bodies to flow with the rhythms of nature.

Of course, most of us today — with our busy modern lives — don’t always have the luxury of aligning our days with nature’s changing faces.

Yet, there’s one important way you can follow her cues — to boost your overall health, help heal physical and emotional imbalances and disease, promote greater longevity, and even bring greater enjoyment and satisfaction to how you nourish your body…

You can learn to prepare and eat the foods that are best for you — and your body’s organ systems — in each season.

You may already tailor your meals to your dietary and health requirements, but you’re missing out on important nutrients and energies when you don’t consume the proper flavors and types of food your organ systems need to thrive at certain times of the year.

For example, in winter, our bodies need bitter-flavored foods, such as arugula, dandelion, rhubarb, and leafy green vegetables to help us keep heat in our core, dry dampness, and stimulate digestion. The right amount of this flavor will energetically nourish the heart; and an excess of this flavor is actually unhealthy for the bones.

This centuries-old way of approaching food and nourishment invites us to view food through the lens of Chinese medicine, which considers how our contact with elemental forces (including the energetic properties of food) can heal us, helping us to bring our digestive system, and thus our health, into balance.

Our digestive health, supported by our gut’s microbiome — a complex mini-ecosystem of bacteria — holds the key to our overall health, wellbeing, and longevity. In fact, current medical research reveals that as much as 50% of diseases are related to poor or improper diet.
Discover How Particular Flavors Activate Certain Energetics in Your Body

In Kitchen Medicine, you’ll discover which foods are best for you and your health each season, including how the different flavors of foods (sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and pungent) impact your body.

In Five Phase Theory, an ancient Taoist system of organizing and understanding the ecology of the body, balanced eating includes considering how particular flavors effect various tissues and organ function.

Viewing your daily and seasonal menus through this lens gives you access to delicious and enjoyable meals that will not only nourish your entire system (giving special attention to particular organs at the time of year they need it), but can also help you improve your digestion and optimize your health — even help heal health conditions.

In this new 7-module program, you’ll discover which foods can help you to regulate your blood sugar and strengthen your blood, so you have more energy and stamina.

You’ll learn which foods and herbs can best help cleanse your system — and when’s the best time to do a “cleanse.”

You’ll learn how to create fermented foods successfully and safely, so you can add this natural probiotic to your daily menus.

AND you’ll discover how to sprout, seeds, nuts, grains, and beans — which unlocks beneficial enzymes and makes them easier to digest — helping cut down on inflammation in the body.

You’ll even discover your “ideal meal,” based on your unique constitutional imbalances, dietary requirements, and health concerns.

AND you’ll receive dozens of healthy, healing recipes to try out now and in the seasons to come — from Fermented Turmeric Ginger Beer to Chia Pudding with Vanilla & Cardamom to Traditional Mushroom Kombucha plus Basic Sauerkraut and Traditional Russian Borscht.

Module 1: Food as Medicine
Eating for Wellness, Connection & Joy

The most powerful place to start a journey to optimal wellbeing and healing is in the kitchen, viewing food as medicine. We’ll begin by discovering how to eat to nourish your gut microbiome — the mini-ecosystem of your digestive tract where the key to your health begins.

We’ll learn about foods and herbs that can help you cleanse your system. At the beginning of most natural medicine protocols, there’s a general consensus that before healing can occur, we need to remove toxins. A detox improves and optimizes the function of your bodily systems.

We’ll also discover how the different tastes or flavors of foods can impact your body through the ancient lens of the Five Phase Theory, the ancient Taoist system of organizing and understanding the ecology of the body.

In this session, you’ll discover:

Your gut microbiome, why it’s important, and what kinds of foods support it
Food toxins and how you can avoid them
How the 5 flavors (bitter, sweet, sour, salty, and pungent) affect different systemic functions in the body, according to traditional medicine
How to use an elimination diet to clarify if you are suffering from food allergies
Foods that help cleanse the body, such as beets, artichokes, nettle, and dandelion

In spring, your body’s energy is waking up and renewing itself, after winter’s time of contemplation and rest. It’s when we often began to clean our house to create a fresh space for something new to happen. This is also the case with our body — spring foods are geared toward supporting liver health and refreshing the body.

During this session, you’ll discover:

Healing green foods and how to sprout seeds, nuts, grains, and beans

Module 4: The Late Summer Diet

Module 5: The Autumn Diet
Fermentations

In fall, we increase our consumption of sour foods to help us align with the energy of condensation within. This helps tighten up our bodies’ pores and tissues in preparation for the cold to come.

Fermented food satisfies this fundamental nutritional need this time of year as a traditional way to access “sour.” It’s been a dietary aid throughout all of human history, and has just regained popularity again over the past decade or so.

In this session, we’ll renew our relationship with the fabulous world of fermentations and experience the delights of eating sour foods.
