Can food-based healing programs help you to feel better?
You’ve heard that food is medicine.
But what does it really mean? Can the food you eat truly heal your body?
I sat down with a culinary medicine educator Lisa Masé to figure this out.
After a decade of healing from chronic parasites, anxiety and depression, an eating disorder, and food allergies, Lisa took health into her hands with food as her medicine.
About 10 years ago she started to work with people who want to make a lifestyle shift as well as those trying to heal with food chronic conditions (e.g., Celiac, Crohn’s, colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and diabetes, cancer, auto-immune disorders and much more).
Food-based healing programs can serve many purposes
Lisa creates programs that help her clients find a balanced weight, feel energized and nourished, rest well and practice cooking simple, seasonal meals that are attuned to their body type and healthy eating habits.
Lisa shared with me her thoughts on current nutrition trends highlighting that sometimes the connection to traditional knowledge and philosophy is missing in what we do today with our food.
Learning how to eat for your constitution, what to have on hand, how to use spices for your enteric nervous system and gut are great ways to explore how food can become medicine for you.
