Dietetics in Traditional Chinese Medicine
***Please contact Dr. Rebecca Brook directly to organise this appointment at Seaford Heights or online.
Dr. Rebecca Brook, our resident Acupuncturist and Dr. of Chinese Medicine now has a dietetics service to offer patients.
Perfect for those who need more detail about food, and how food can work for you, not against you!
If you are spending precious attention & money on supplements/treatments/fad diets/juice diets/intermittent fasting, then invest in the importance of getting the diet right!
In general acupuncture consults, Bec gives some nutritional advice. However these sessions provide focused attention on
WHAT you are eating eg cold smoothies, alot of raw food
WHY you are eating certain foods eg cravings, for energy, habit
WHEN you are eating eg skipping breakfast, eating late at night
HOW you are eating eg rushed, don’t sit and ingest food in a relaxed state
Common conditions that might benefit from a dietetics plan include, but are not limited to
chronic conditions
systemic inflammation
skin conditions
hormonal complaints eg PMS, cyclical changes
digestive upsets or conditions, such as IBS, Crohns etc
bloating or food intolerances
bowel changes, constipation or diarrhoea (or fluctuations between the two)
insomnia, irregular sleep patterns, waking at night or hard to fall asleep
pregnancy care and postpartum dietetics, the first 40 days…
hair loss
chronic pain conditions
hormonal changes
preconception/fertility care
mental health
and just about anything else!
