I studied Macrobiotics for 9 months with Bill and Marlene Tara . It was a very inspiring 9 months. I already worked with aspects of Traditional Chinese medicine, using tongue and nail diagnosis and working with the seasons, the Macrobiotic Health Coaching Course increased my knowledge and experience in all of these areas.

The body is good at letting us know when something is not working optimally, we just need to understand the cause. If we understand what the cause is then we can look at giving the body the correct tools to help it function better.

On the course we spent a lot of time working with foods that are nutritionally dense and may aid the body to heal. Macrobiotics looks at our microbiome and much of the foods that we used on the course were to influence the effect of the whole system. It still amazes me that the right foods may change how the body functions.

When I was studying Nutrition with the College of Naturopathic Medicine one of the takeaway statements was the Macrobiotics was on of the worlds healthier diets.

I now work with seasonal foods and I will look at the skin hair nails and tongue to gauge where the body is health wise. The tongue especially is a great indicator of the health of the digestive tract.
