The Importance of Food Preparation with Respect to 9 Body Constitutions in TCM | September 12, 2022

During his 1 hour webinar on Monday September 12, 2022, Olivier Barré presented on the difference between Western and Eastern approaches to food preparation for better results. Learn how body type and constitution inform strategic meal plans that influence metabolism. Olivier’s TCM practice has him applying foods made with, or foods that innately have, yin (cooling) or yang (warming) energy to resolve health conditions.

Absorption and assimilation takes precedence in TCM. Macronutrient profiles and their preparation (raw, roasted, boiled, salted or steamed) are of the utmost importance in this ancient healing system. Get optimal, and fast results, by focussing beyond Western biochemistry (Olivier has a PhD on the subject), and more on the unique and quantum view of restoring the body’s function through energetics of food.

You Will Learn:
- Metabolism is influenced by various body types
- A practitioner can identify the body type of their client during initial consultation
- Application of the food preparation techniques provided will improve client results
