Personal note: Thanks for following along. After the medical specialists I had seen for my own health issues failed, I found a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner that changed my life. My life mission is to show the world the clinical power and healing philosophy of TCM, to change the lives of as many as possible while I live.

Thank you very much for uploading this video.
It is good to let more people know the relationship between diet and Traditional Chinese Medicine

[mmhh]

[sjsj]

Love your channel, very educational, very heloful! Thank you v much 🙏 ❤️

[kimnenninger]

Interesting video. I need to learn more to really understand what he is teaching us but I think that I get the idea.

[sandymccormick]

Thank you for taking time to teach some basics in a way the people that know very little about Chinese medicine can understand. I do know Chinese medicine (or natural Chinese medicine) is where the body is supplied with the things the body requires to heal.

Hi Dr Alex!! Great vid!! Im reading that smoking is considered "drying" and, as I'm detoxing from smoking atm, I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the damp vs dry foods, anything specific I should be eating or doing (I'm doing acupuncture already)- just anything, really, I'm kinda white knuckling it here- I would appreciate any feedback, I just started looking into eating the TCM way before I quit smoking and I'm not well versed enough yet to know much to do in this regard, and even after a bunch of googling I haven't come up with much info on TCM and nicotine detox. Please help if you can, any & all thoughts appreciated!!🙂

To give credit to that, what is cool/cold and such does line up with my instinctual preferences for summer foods for example

[sylviavanis]

Hi there, could you explain more about the hot and cold people can experience? I was told I have heat rising and that there are different types under these umbrellas. Thanks for the videos!

[testcardII]

Great video! What about spleen QI deficiency for vegetarians? Thank you.

[gabrielavastye]

I don’t understand something, if spleen and stomach are associated with sweet then why do we have to eat less of it?

[butubuta]

Thank you. Does it mean we have to avoid yogurt? If we can eat, how much is the right amount?

[julianafargione]

How would I go about getting diagnosed?

[BStephensonn]

Hey can you breakdown more in detail what some of those warming teas, meats and veggies are. I also have a spleen qi deficiency and am always looking for new ways to stay creative in the kitchen (without craving sugar)

[Decentralized_Maze]

You did a fantastic job covering the most important aspects to start with for understanding! I added this video to my channel for others. Thanks!

FYI.... Although I knew of most of what you covered, I actually learned something new in this still. Wahoo

[brianmb]

Hey Doc, I have been a fan of chinese medicine diets for years as I am someone looking to heal from within. I'm also an asthmatic... and I wanted to ask what you recommend for addressing this issue

Thanks

Why do I almost always prefer warm or hot food (temperature) and heavily dislike cold or liquid or soft foods? Salad is the exception, but I put hot food even on a cold salad.

I fluctuate between very warm and very cold. I have trouble staying warm and wear fleece almost all year around even in Alabama summer. I get hot and take it off and I am cold shortly afterwards.

I have had Epilepsy since I was 4.5-5 years old and I am almost 54. I have used alternative treatments for years but I have never tried (completely) this method.

Strangely, in Montana freezing cold or Northern California winter, while I am cold, it is a "different cold" to me than the Alabama winter that I grew up in.
