Cooking Demos

Simple, quick & very tasty with healthy foods that will change your life. Food quickly becomes a fun topic in class.

We start the clinic with qi gong , using movement  to move the stagnation out of your body. It is the mother of tai qi and is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine.  It is a high light of the clinic because you feel better very quickly.  It helps to reduce cravings and something you can do at home. 

A classical point combination  using ear acupuncture for addiction and compulsive behavior is used twice a week.  People say about week 3 that they are sleeping better, mood is batter and they can make better choices because they are craving less and just feel better.

I have an overeating disorder where I eat without being hungry. Now, I got rid of the cravings, I don’t eat sugar anymore and most important I quit eating at night. I went from a size 16 to a size 14 and that is too loose.  Herbs, acupuncture and exercise have helped. There’s no specific diet, just eating healthy meals and drinking green smoothies. That fills me up and controls my cravings. I’m still continuing strong in my changes even after the class is over. Other people notice and comment.
