"This practice is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, which underlies a lot of health philosophies and practices in the East."

"...definitely have a chat to your TCM providers about what foods in the Western grocer falls under Hot, Warm, Yin, and Yang. And then you can create your menu from there and start preparing your food that way."
