You may already be eating well

 

Maybe you’ve changed your diet, tried different plans, followed wellness advice, or cut out foods that were supposed to be “bad.” But even with all of that effort, you still don’t feel quite right. You may be dealing with:

  • Bloating

  • Fatigue

  • Inflammation

  • Sluggish digestion

  • Poor sleep

  • Hormone issues

 

These can all be signs that what you’re eating isn’t truly aligned with your body.

 

Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, learn TCM patterns and choose foods for your body.

Course description

 

Have you ever heard that it’s good for you to eat in moderation? Or that food can be cooling or warming? Foods have their own specific temperature, flavour, action, and affinities for certain organs. Chinese Dietary Therapy is a branch of Chinese Medicine that uses food as preventative and curative therapy. With a contemporary lens, this course led by Gillian Marsollier, explores the ancient foundational theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Chinese Dietary Therapy. Once the qualities of different foods are understood, dietary therapy can be applied to very specific disorders.

Food is medicine and an integral part of most natural therapies is nutrition—also referred to as ‘food cures’. Since food is one of our primary sources of energy, it has a great potential to influence our health. To most effectively utilize the power of food, we must understand its nature and function.

If you are already an Acupuncturist or TCM Practitioner, this is a perfect course if you found your college training in Chinese Dietary Therapy lacking or absent. It is also a wonderful refresher of your Foundations!

You will learn about:

  • The basics of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
  • How to apply the TCM base knowledge to anyone
  • Understanding how to strengthen digestive energy in TCM and why it is so important
  • Recognizing which food groups will help various constitutions, and apply Chinese nutritional concepts
  • Applying dietary advice to match thermal and energetic imbalances, and commonly seen conditions
  • How to create balanced and healing recipes
  • Actual clinical case studies to understand how to apply this knowledge therapeutically

"Gillian is a wealth of knowledge and the course was so in-depth and helpful. Feel like I am just getting started on my TCM journey but ready to go after this course!"

 Sarah - Calgary, AB, Canada

"Excellent course, well thought out, organized, with many resources to help with meal planning, nourishing ones body and how to get it back into balance. Very engaging instructor who was also very informative."

Melissa Nathan - Calgary, AB, Canada

"This course is a valuable addition to anyone working in the holistic nutrition field. This is a great reminder about how individual nutrition is and there really is no one size fits all. It has given me a few more tools to use, and I highly recommend this course to anyone interested learning how to look deeper than the individual nutrients."

 Corrine Pedersen - Alberta, Canada

"As a beginner I found this course inspirational, and very detailed, without having ever had the feeling of getting lost in the new terminology and theory. Gill makes sure she passes on her knowledge, enthusiasm and energy to her students."

Myriam, Belgium

"This course is helpful for everyone who wants to live healthier or heal from some health issues "

Jelena - Coquitlam BC, Canada

"I took this course needing quick CEUs to renew my acu license.  This was anything but quick, though I loved it and will most likely continue on with her other dietary course offerings.This was an incredibly comprehensive and clear presentation by someone inspired by her teaching."

 Linda Durante - Santa Fe, NM, USA

"Really enjoyed this course. I hope to take the second part. Covered the basics and was well taught and presented in a way one could easily understand and apply in their practice or everyday life."

Lauren Feetham - Nova Scotia, Canada

"This was a very thorough and robust course in Chinese Dietary Therapy. After being a patient of an acupuncture for over 10 years, I finally feel like I have a good grasp of how to remove offending foods and add in nourishing foods. I have a severe Mast Cell disorder with many food sensitivities and so I appreciate the attention to detail presented in this course. I especially liked the explanations of thermal quality of foods, and how one food can be cooked many different ways to modulate its thermal nature. I'd recommend to anyone looking for a dense and complete introduction to TCM dietary therapy."

Breanna Johnston - Ontario, Canada

"Very well presented course, with clear explanations that offer a variety of knowledge and from a very qualified teacher."

Hi! I'm Gillian.

I am your TCM food energetics expert.

 

I want to free you from rigid food rules. Food shouldn't be about trying to fit your life into a neat box or memorizing thousands of strict guidelines. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is where things open up.

It is about finding your unique TCM pattern. Once you understand your own body, you can make small adjustments to your diet that completely change how you feel. It is incredibly empowering to look at a symptom, know exactly what your body is asking for, and adjust your next meal to bring things back into balance.

Over the last 25 years, I have used this exact approach to help thousands of people in my clinic and my classrooms, both in person and online. This course gives you the practical tools to understand your own body, so you can take the pieces that make you feel good and leave the rest. I am really glad you found this.
