One of my main beliefs is that we can all take charge of our own health. In each session, we invite you to take ownership over your conditions, learn to nourish yourselves and get to the root cause of any hormonal imbalances. So when we say ‘food as medicine’, we are simply talking about the beauty of the medicinal properties of food.

Food has incredible power to treat imbalances and to bring back harmony in the body. We teach the medicinal properties of food and how to implement this in your everyday cooking but also share natural remedy recipes using specific foods and herbs. Colours and flavours within different foods can also nourish particular organs. There’s a lot to it and it’s completely fascinating!

Beyond using food medicinally, there is this idea of food energetics: that foods can be cooling, warming, drying, moistening, possess a fast-paced rhythm vs a slow-paced rhythm. Through food energetics, you can start to understand the qualities of food beyond just the nutritional content. Then that means you can start to apply foods based on the condition you are treating, the constitution of the patient and what season we are in. If it’s summer and it’s really hot outside then cooling foods will provide more balance and vice versa. Different foods have different properties and energetics, and as we understand the context of where we are living and our condition there is an incredible possibility for creating balance and harmony in everyone’s life.
