Zoey Gong  

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) food therapy has been using food as medicine for thousands of years. The purpose of this workshop is to share the basic principles of such practice and how they are relevant for today's world of wellness, food, and nutrition. It aims to inspire food and nutrition professionals to consider a new way of examining the relationship between diet, human body, and mind. In addition, the workshop will help bring inclusiveness to a wellness industry dominated by Caucasian practitioners and government guidelines and policies that have historically been neglective towards the need and traditions of the Asian population. The workshop will utilize PowerPoint presentation, hands-on elements (dried herbal ingredients), and interactive activities to help the audience better understand the topic.
