Why the need for Qi boosting plant-based nutrition?
There is a lot of information on vegetarian, vegan and plant-based diets and nutrition plans out there. They are all wonderful and cover much needed information beyond simply cutting out meat and animal products.
To ensure a truly healthful plant-based or plant-centric lifestyle, one that is not reliant on pre-packaged foods, processed junk food vegan options or nutrient deficient meals, we almost need to re-learn nutrition. In this course we aim to help you add in more variety, gain an understanding and innerstanding on real food and functional food, and take cooking and health back into your own hands.
Over the 5 modules, cooking videos and bonus videos we cover the fundamentals of plant-based nutrition and then take it to the next level by adding in some of the wisdom of the 5 Elements and Chinese Medicine through the lens of Food Therapy & Energetics. The result is a deeper connection to plant-based eating, cooking styles and health as you start to see and feel your food as much more than “fuel” and appreciate the intricate and subtle effects that food can have on the body, organs, blood, energy and Qi.
Qi Boosting plant-based nutrition is unique for modern times where increasing numbers of people are recognizing the benefits of eating more plants and wholefoods, and at the same time wanting to draw from the wisdoms of natural medicine and food therapy. The concepts of Yang Qi or digestive Fire, nourishing the Earth element, spleen and digestive system are some of the keys we can apply to boosting a plant-based lifestyle.
The food cultures of Asia have so much to offer and we will highlight these through the knowledge that the 5 Elements and Chinese medicine brings to the world.
You won’t find vegetarian and vegan diets advocated by many TCM doctors or acupuncturists however their understanding of the body and energy systems can work beautifully in enhancing your health and Qi when choosing to eat more plant-centric. You do not have to be vegan or vegetarian to enjoy this course, we do not advocate for labels or boxes to fit into. It is about food freedom, with an abundance of plants and knowing how to best boost your Qi!
