Food is one area where many patients may struggle with\, where they do not understand how to eat for their condition or underlying pattern and it may not always be tonification\, oftentimes TCM Practitioners should be looking at prescribing foods as medicine in a reduction\, clearing and harmonizing capacity in the same way that we would prescribe herbs. \nIn addition\, diet is one of the hardest things to change within someone’s lifestyle. How do we look to enact longterm and sustainable change within our patients for maximum effectiveness? \nIn Part 2 (Advanced) we will go deeper into how we can apply these principles in modern life\, and the best ways to help support out patients and not overwhelm them.  \nThis course will dive deeper into how to construct recipes\, in similar ways to constructing prescriptions along with more advanced patient management principles for diet. As TCM Practitioners we are and should be allowed to prescribe foods with an understanding of the underlying pattern\, we have the foundations to do so as long as we understand the basic principles and theories of what we are prescribing and not just prescribing “shot gun” style. You will also be able to better and more confidently practice within your clinical scope of TCM dietary recommendation after taking both courses. \nThis is why we would highly recommend that all participants interested in taking this course\, first visit and complete the foundations course as this advanced course is where we build on the previous knowledge and give TCM Practitioners and students alike the tools to heal with one of the biggest tools at our disposal.
