Nutrition is a vital component of Medicine and health in general. Understanding the chemistry of how foods obtain their qualities is important for a holistic understanding of the body. Food has been used as an essential part of medicine and prevention of dis-ease for thousands of years. Holistic practitioners have always seen marked improvement when their patients change diet and lifestyle, perhaps more so than taking a specific herb or supplement. Food could be slower to take affect than other medicines and herbs, but it more profoundly affects all systems of the body.
Through exposure to Asian medicine in the context of holistic nutritional consultation, patients are able to view their meal choices through a new paradigm. As an integrative nutrition counselor, Bronwyn guides her clients in incorporating into their daily routines the proper healing foods each individual patient can take advantage of every day.
