Eating “healthy” but still not feeling like yourself?
Perimenopause can change the way your body responds to food, stress, sleep, and exercise. And the foods that work beautifully for one woman may leave another feeling bloated, tired, cold, wired, depleted, or simply not like herself.
Chinese medicine looks at those differences through patterns.
Instead of giving every woman the same food plan, this guide helps you understand your unique pattern and shows you how to use food to better support what your body may need.
Bloating • Fatigue • Hot Flashes • Poor Sleep • Mood Changes • Weight Changes

More Than A Cookbook
This is a practical guide to understanding your Chinese medicine pattern and bringing food therapy into your everyday life.
Once you identify your pattern, you'll know which foods to prioritize, which foods may be less supportive, what to put on your grocery list, how to build your meals, and which recipes in the guide are best suited to you.
One Diet Doesn't Work for Every Woman
Someone who feels cold, exhausted, and sluggish doesn't necessarily need the same foods as someone experiencing hot flashes, night sweats, and dryness.
That's one of the things I love about Chinese food therapy—it gives us a more individualized way to think about nutrition.
Each pattern includes foods to focus on, foods to limit, a shopping list, meal ideas, lifestyle recommendations, and recipes selected specifically for that pattern.
One Diet Doesn't Work for Every Woman
Chinese food therapy doesn't have to mean complicated ingredients or meals your family won't eat.
These recipes were created to make the principles of Chinese medicine practical, nourishing, and delicious.
