March 10th – Edinburgh
With Daverick Leggett
There is so much dietary information, and misinformation, available today that even the most food-literate among us are often deeply confused about what to eat and how to advise our clients. How can we resolve contradictory messages about food, or avoid being misled by our personal neuroses and the manipulation of advertising?
Using our knowledge of Chinese medicine, we can get through the maze. From the viewpoint of traditional Chinese medicine there is no such thing as the universally healthy diet. What works for one person may not work for another. There are no “good” or “bad” foods, only foods possessing certain energies or qualities, and the ultimate authority about what is good for us rests in our own bodies.
This seminar has two aims: to deepen our understanding of Chinese medicine’s approach to nutrition and integrate this approach into our practice and lives here in the West. Participants can expect to acquire practical insights for working with clients and themselves as well as new ideas and inspiration for their own kitchen.
