Podcasts about Congee

Send us a textForget the other lists you ever seen (I looked at most of them), this is the real list of what I think are the worst food (or food categories). Don't think for a second these aren't foods! They are popular for different people. As a bonus, we included some whack foods from neighbouring countries. And Dennis has found out about century eggs (Trứng vịt bắc thảo) and their long partnership with congee. Now who wants to eat some live octupi (thanks Korea)!

On today's show we speak with Des and Kaede, two of five committee members from Congee Club – a social club for LGBTIQA+ Asians to build friendships, share stories and connect with community in Narrm. We hear about their aspirations, their reflections on Year of the Dragon and their dreams for Year of the Snake. Congee Club committee members include: Desk, Kaede, James, Karen and Eldon. Follow them on instagram here. The feature song on today's episode is 'Hold the Girl' by Rina Sawayama.

Jocelyn’s bestselling dish at her food stall was her congee. She’d stir the rice porridge very carefully until it had a smooth consistency. So, she was startled when a regular customer said, “Your congee tastes different. The texture isn’t as fine.” Jocelyn’s new assistant had prepared it this time and explained why it was different: “I didn’t stir it as long as the recipe said since that’s how I do it at home. I also added more sesame oil. In my opinion, it tastes better that way.” She had decided to ignore the recipe and do it her way instead. This is how I sometimes respond to God’s instructions. Instead of fully obeying His commands as given in Scripture, I subject them to my opinions and proceed my way. Naaman, the commander of the Syrian army, was on the verge of making a similar mistake. On receiving God’s instruction through the prophet Elisha to wash himself in the Jordan so his leprosy would be healed, the proud soldier got angry. He had his own expectations for how his need ought to be addressed, believing his opinion was superior to God’s command (2 Kings 5:11-12). His servants, however, convinced him to listen to Elisha’s words (v. 13). As a result, Naaman was healed. When we do things God’s way, we experience a peace that is indescribable. Let’s work with Him in fulfilling His purposes.

Today Sam Tsang aka Congee joins me down the line from London, as we look back on one of the iconic records of the last decade - Frank Ocean's 'Blonde'. We talk about how Frank Ocean builds a new world with each album, and makes the release an event. We talk about the detail of the production, the care put into every choice, stories from the making of the record and speculate on the practical concerns of making a record where every song went through so many iterations. We talk about the guest cameos from everyone from Beyoncé to Radiohead's Johnny Greenwood, the rock influence on the record and what we think Ocean has up his sleeve for the next album.

In this Three Kitchens episode, Sarah serves up a big bowl of congee - a classic Chinese rice porridge often enjoyed for breakfast. It's the thing her family requests when they're feeling under the weather, or when they're craving something warm and cozy on a cold day. We've decided it's not just for breakfast, or cold days. We'll take Sarah's congee for any meal, on any day! Congee can be made and served many different ways, but come along and learn to make this dish Sarah's way, with leftovers and whatever you've got handy in the fridge. For this congee, she starts with leftover rice, adds ginger, garlic and shredded BBQ pork ribs, and tops it off with homemade chilli oil and crispy kale chips.  The method is very similar to making a risotto - add lots of broth and stir, stir, stir! See below for Sarah's rib recipe and her modifications to the congee.  This recipe makes a lot, which is perfect because you're going to want to dip back in the pot for more.  Episode Links~~~~~ John's Breakfast and Lunch~ Milk Ice Cream Shop~ Cookbook: To Asia with Love by Hetty McKinnon~ Congee Recipe~ Pork Rib Recipe~~~~Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website  where you can listen to all of our episodes, and find recipes on our blog (psst! there are even some extra recipes never discussed on the podcast!).www.threekitchenspodcast.com~~~~Or join us on our socials!Instagram @three_kitchens_podcastFacebook @threekitchenspodcastPinterest @threekitchenspodcastYouTube @threekitchenspodcast~~~~Drop us a comment or give us a like - we'd love to hear from you!

For the last episode of this very delayed On the Nose season, I finally get to share one of my many conversations with the always engaging Yosh Han. This conversation was recorded back in July 2021 before Scent Festival in September 2021 and still has absolute relevancy now, to the point that we brought up some of the very same issues and perspectives at this year's Scent Festival 2022 Re-Orientation panel. We cover it all, from being born in between cultures and what that entails, to using our differences to engage in new conversations and realizing that there is where power lies. We of course discuss the important topic of evolving the 'O' category in perfume/fragrance classification as well as the need for new perspectives directly from members of the global majority. Yosh really believes that fear is the gateway to evolution, and by working through fear, we can really achieve change, which is where true alchemy lies. Yosh's metaphors in this episode and in general, go unparalleled! We call for progress within our industry, we cannot shy away from the fact that perfume is political, social, cultural and absolutely community-based. Appropriating in the name of fantasy and storytelling will only create more confusion, if we continue with stereotyping and more vagueness (geographic, cultural, all of it) we perpetuate misleading narratives that don't serve us our industry. By acknowledging & respecting people and their cultures - we consider how and where perfumes are made, who benefits and who doesn't. This helps us learn, re-orient and evolve. Important points: If you know better, do better. Evolve and Involve. The future is inclusive. Interpretation vs Appropriation Embrace regional perfumery, in order to create nuance. Wherever you are, you are in the right place. Definitions/Distinctions: Mukhallat - Arabic for "mixed or blended" - Regional blend of saffron + rose + oud (used most often in the GCC countries) Khaleeji - Loosely means 'from the gulf' in Arabic - refers to the area and people of several countries on the Arabian Peninsula and of the GCC. Congee (porridge) vs. Kanji (language) Other things we mentioned: Suheir Hammad - Not Your Exotic Petition to update & re-classify Oriental category in perfumery. Diverse Talent in Perfumery database. Sound Used: Pisces Binaural Beats

In this episode we talk a little bit about the use of plant milk and how easy it is to make your own oat milk.We then go on to talk about a beautiful caramelised onion, shiitake mushroom and sweet potato congee as well as a satay seitan dish from an Asian cookbook we've just bought. Both recipes were really simple and quick to make, delicious, complex and incredibly satisfying.Because we made the satay seitan, we then talk a little about our recipe of the week, seitan and how to make two different types:A dark seitan, similar to lamb or beefA light seitan, similar to chickenNeither of us really like using meat to describe any dishes we eat, however in this case it's the easiest way to describe them!We then have a quick chat about Japanese knives in our tip of the week, we talk about why having good knives is so important and what difference it makes.Finally our ingredient of the week is Dr Greger's Spice mix - a really simple mix of herbs and spices which we keep as a store cupboard staple.Resources and show notes:First of all we will add links to other websites which we've mentioned in the pod cast, after these links we will add recipes, so remember to scroll down.Website linksPlant milk information: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zs722v4Oat Milk recipe - belowSeitan Recipe (Dark) - Recipe Below.

Somehow, somewhere, at some time it *seemed* like the lines were blurred between cultural appreciation and appropriation, but we are here to remind you that the line is actually bold, bright, and never left. Today's episode is devoted to the multi-faceted conversation surrounding cultural appropriation as we explore how it affects all areas of daily. From the food we eat, to the clothes we wear, to the language we use, our daily lives are filled with vast cultural influences from all over the world that deserve our respect, and are not just here for our entertainment.

We spoke with Clement Loo about food justice and food security, including food insecurity among college students, and how academics can be engaged with communities.

You can listen to it wherever you get your podcasts, or on its own website. I suggest listening to the other half of our conversation there when he interviewed me! Clement was kind enough to share a recipe that he grew up eating, updated with modern cooking technology: "Below is how I cook jook (which is the Cantonese name for Congee) in my Instant Pot.    This is a recipe for a dish that's a cultural food for my family, something that I really hated when I was a kid, but has now become a comfort food (particularly when I don't feel well).    When I think about jook I think about my identity as a Chinese-Canadian/American from a family that has inconsistently hung onto Cantonese (or, to be more specific, Taishanese) culture. Our ancestors first immigrated to Canada and China in the latter-half of the1800s and over that time my family has developed a hodge-podge of traditions that mixes Chinese, Anglo-Canadian, and Euro-American. This recipe, while in some ways is super traditional, is executed in a way that would be probably unrecognizable (and would be probably considered incorrect) to someone from Guangzhou.    Ingredients (serves anywhere between 2 to 4 people): 1 cup of long-grained white rice (though medium grain rice works as well) 6 to 8 cups of water (depending if you like a thicker or runnier gruel) 1 Chinese sausage (i.e. lap cheong) finely diced (optional and fine to exclude if you're a vegetarian or vegan) 1 chicken or 1/2 turkey carcass (or, if one is without a carcass or don't eat carcasses, you can replace the water with an equal amount of vegetable stock or chicken stock) pickled vegetables to taste, finely diced (I tend to use kimchi because it's the easiest to find but my dad uses some sort of Chinese pickles -- I think pickled radishes) 1 century egg, finely diced (also can be excluded if one is vegan or just is thrown off by fermented eggs that are dyed black -- they have a strong sort of acetone/ammonia sort of undernote so consider yourself warned if you haven't tried them before. That said, they are terrific if you know what to expect -- they have a really complex and unique flavor) ginger to taste, peeled and finely chopped salt to taste (I tend to salt just before serving because it's hard to tell prior how much seasoning the jook will require) 1/8 teaspoon of five spice   Instructions: I put everything into the Instant Pot and set it to pressure cook for 30 minutes followed by a slow pressure release (i.e. I don't release the pressure but wait for it to reduce pressure on its own). Then I scoop it into a big bowl and eat it. My dad doesn't do it that way. He wouldn't add the pickles or century egg into the pot and, instead, add them as a garnish just prior to serving. Doing it my way is easier, doing it my dad's way would provide you with more textural variety (which some people might appreciate). If you use a carcass, be careful to look out for small bones when you're eating." The intro and outro music is "Whiskey Before Breakfast" which is both a great traditional song and a great accompaniment to listening to Clement's podcast in the morning!

Thursday, March 11, 2021 - Unmanned aircraft flying across western North Dakota should soon become a common occurrence as the state rolls out the VANTIS network. Joining us to discuss this “first in the nation” testing area is Nick Flom, executive director of VANTIS. ~~~ ~~~ In another TellTale: Dakota Folklife and Stories , we hear about the tumultuous reasons why Germans from Russia left for America from folk singers Gaylinn Becker, Joe Johs, and John, Joe and Andy Gross. ~~~ Speaking of Germans from Russia, we head to the sauerkraut triangle to visit with Sue Balcom, who discusses congee, a digestion-harmonizing porridge, in this week’s Main Street Eats.

You may not know the word, but you know the dish. Sue Balcom is talking congee, a porridge-like comfort food often consisting of rice, stock, and sometimes chicken.

Seit letzter Woche befinden wir uns laut chinesischem Kalender in einer Dojo-Zeit, in einer Übergangszeit zwischen den Jahreszeiten. Die Dojo-Zeiten sind in der TCM Schwellentage, die einen sanften und bewussten Übergang zwischen den Jahreszeiten, den sogenannten Wandlungsphasen, schaffen. Gleichzeitig ist es eine Zeit, um sich wieder in der eigenen Mitte einzupendeln, bevor etwas Neues entsteht. Auf körperlicher Ebene laden die Dojo-Zeit dazu ein, mit ein paar Tagen Reiskur sanft zu entschlacken und gleichzeitig unsere Mitte und damit auch unser Immunsystem und unsere Abwehrkräfte zu stärken. Ich erkläre dir, wie du eine Reiskur ganz einfach selber durchführen kannst und - weil es natürlich nicht nur/nie nur um den Körper geht – gebe dir auch Anregungen für eine Entlastung von Geist und Seele. Noch mehr Infos zum Thema Dojo-Zeiten findest du auf meinem Blog: https://sabinespielberg.de/uebergangszeiten-sind-dojozeiten/ Und auch ein Rezept für Congee: https://sabinespielberg.de/congee-tcm-heilnahrung/ Die jetzige Dojo-Zeit dauert noch bis zum 12. Februar - nutze also diese besondere Zeit ganz bewusst für dich! Solltest du diese Folge später hören, dann trifft alles auch auf jede der anderen 3 Übergangszeiten zu: Dojozeit Winter/Frühling: 27.01.–12.02. Dojozeit Frühling/Sommer: 27.04.–16.05. Dojozeit Sommer/Herbst: 28.07.–15.08. Dojozeit Herbst/Winter: 28.10.–15.11. Lass mich gerne wissen, wie du diese Zeit für dich nutzt und auch, falls du Fragen haben solltest! Entweder auf instagram @sabine_spielberg unter dem Post zur heutigen Folge oder per Mail an hallo@sabinespielberg.de Ich freue mich, von dir zu hören! Alles Liebe, Sabine

Diäten sind unbeliebt, Fasten kann sehr hart sein- die Getreidekur aus der TCM ist die perfekte, sanfte Lösung. Hier wird darauf geachtet, dass der Körper zur Ruhe kommen kann. Nach dem langen Winter kann die Verdauung eine Pause einlegen und ausleiten, was wir nicht mehr brauchen. Was Dojo Zeiten sind, wie man ein Congee macht und wie lang das geht- mehr im Podcast.

Episode 005: It's crazy to think that this week is the two year anniversary since I was let go from my last job. It was a weird day, it didn't feel like the other last days of work I had in the past. It was exciting because I knew the following week was going to be the start of a new focus, dedicating my full time to Find Me in Seattle. I go to this annual Ugly Sweater Party and I remember the day I got let go, I went to this same party, and now that I am going again this year, it's fun to reflect on that moment. This week I am starting two new segments: Meal of the Week, and Featured Business of the Week and here they are: Meal of the Week: Shredded Chicken Congee from Congeez in Uwajimaya in the International District. Congee is an Asian Rice Porridge that is complimented by a meat and topped with spices. Congeez comes with a lot of ginger which is great for sick and/or rainy days. Featured Business of the Week: Low Rider Baking Company - Emily started Low Rider as a cookie popup, which she started to take to farmer's markets. She then grew into a space in Georgetown and then to a physical retail location in the Central District. She was actually one of the first brands to ever work with Find Me in Seattle when she reached out and asked if I would promote her company in exchange for a box of cookies. I ended up taking the box around the city on the 62 bus line and took pictures with the cookies at Green Lake, The Fremont Troll and Downtown Seattle. My pro tip, make sure to get a birthday cake cookie and the Oreo cookie. However, she has these new stuffed cookies that are amazing. If you don't have plans on Saturday April 14th, make sure you check out the Green Lake Pathway of Lights! Check out my website: findmeinseattle.com

In today’s episode, we talk with Hiram Chan, an international student from Hong Kong studying accounting at Brigham Young University. During the discussion, Hiram shares Hong Kong’s cultural characteristics as well as the transitions he has made after coming to the United States.

Paul Chen of Fan Fried Rice and Layla Chen of Maya Bed Stuy join us to discuss the topic of rice as a comfort food. They also share some parallel experiences as shop owners that specialize in a rice dish that pays respect to their heritage: for Paul it’s fried rice and for Layla it’s congee, their approach in combining tradition and modernity on their respective menus, and setting up shop in the Bed-Stuy neighborhood of Brooklyn. Feast Meets West is powered by Simplecast.

Happy New Year! Welcome to a special edition of 3dacious, a bi-weekly compendium of the top 3 regional Foods I Forked, Cool Collaborations, and events I'm excited about, but will probably miss because I'm already snuggly in my recliner with a hot tea and a lapful of cats. This week? My Best of 2018. The top three of everything. Television that filled my heart with hope and made me guffaw, food I inhaled like a ravenous bear, and the best of the best in this year's podcast conversations. Stories of triumph and survival. Stories that showed me the strength of the human spirit, stories that made me cry, stories of community, and just damn good stories. It was hard to pick only three from so many folks who took time out of their busy lives to share, but here they are. If you had to pick just three to represent a year of great development and change, both in my world and the world at large, this would be a pretty stellar start. I rant about how well-meaning folks sometimes say stupid things, the importance of knowing your value even if your paycheck doesn't match it, and express wonder and gratitude about all the talent and magic happening in our amazing community. I hope wherever you are this holiday, that you're happy and well and understand that no matter what happens, everything will be okay. Because it will. Thank you to everyone courageous and gracious enough to share their stories and congratulations to all the winners. I'm so excited for what lies ahead. Because if 2018 was any indication, it's going to be tremendous. Be well. Do good. Big Love. SHOW NOTES – Links to resources talked about during the podcast: Support this podcast! Be Edacious!

Food is medicine. That insight inspired the late rancher and developer Dick Krupp to endow one of the largest funds of its kind to support integrative nutrition research at UC San Diego. As Gordon Saxe, MD, the director of UCSD's Center for Integrative Nutrition and others explain, the Krupp-funded projects focus on how diet and natural therapeutics can help reduce or cure common health problems. Among the projects featured – feeding cancer patients congee, a grain-based porridge to ease the side effects of chemotherapy, a study led by Caitlin Costello, MD, of the Moores Cancer Center. Also, Sanjay Agarwal, MD, looks at the impact of a healthy diet on women who suffer from endometriosis. And finally, Robert Weinreb, MD, the director of the Shiley Eye Institute, introduces a new field of medicine called Integrative Ophthalmology. All agree: what you eat matters!

Dr Altman is a Naturopathic Doctor, she has a private practice and also lectures at Bastyr University in Seattle.  Dr Altman is also an Acupuncturist.  Her interests include gastrointestinal disorders, east asian medicine, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Topics discussed include How did Dr Altman get into the field of SIBO with a special interest in Elemental Diets? The Elemental Diet is a highly effective standalone antimicrobial treatment, on par with conventional antibiotics or herbal antimicrobials. What are the components of the Elemental Diet? What makes it different from medical food replacement products such as Mediclear or powders that aim to heal the gut? Proteins are in the form of amino acids only, and there are no other food products in the formula. The nutrients are predigested - you do not need to break anything down. Fats in the form of oil, medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). Carbohydrate component is either dextrose or maltodextrin. Starches may be included. Essential vitamins and minerals. No fibre. Contraindications for the Elemental Diet include A history of disordered eating Underweight patients (however patients can gain weight on the Elemental Diet due to ease of absorption of nutrients) Caution in diabetes due to higher simple carbohydrate and sugar content. Caution for known fungal overgrowth or signs or symptoms. If using, use in combination with antifungal treatment - Dr Jacobi always uses an antifungal with the Elemental Diet. How can people get the Elemental Diet for their patients? Vivonex - Nestle product (not recommended) Integrative Therapeutics Physicians' Elemental Diet Dr Allison Siebecker's homemade Elemental Diet Possible complications encountered with prescription of the Elemental Diet. Blood sugar dysregulation Weight loss Intolerable flavour Nausea Diarrhoea Die off reactions Constipation Abdominal pain What happens for 2 versus 3 weeks for patients on the Elemental Diet? 80% effective after 2 weeks 85% effective after 3 weeks No more effective for 4 weeks Protocol Elemental Diet shakes - 6 per day, or daily amount divided up to have less day every hour. Drinks allowed - water, (sometimes) dilute black coffee or black tea. SIBO testing patient with same day breath test - if still positive, continue for one more week, if negative, transition off the Elemental Diet.   Transitioning off the Elemental Diet General Keep using some of the Elemental Diet shakes for calories as patient transitions. Consider using Elemental Diet as the elimination phase of an Elimination Challenge Diet (eliminate all high allergenic foods for 2 weeks and then reintroduce one every 3 days, if tolerated add back in, if not tolerated keep it out) Day 1 Slow introduction of foods starting with broths (be aware that some SIBO clients do not do well with cartilage bones due to the high histamine in glycosaminoglycans. If this is the case, use only marrow bones or meat broth). Start patients with Low FODMAP diet for approx 3 days, well cooked vegetables, avoiding raw foods. If candida suspected, avoid simple carbohydrates. Day 2 Continue with well-cooked Low FODMAP vegetables and broth. Congee addition (if no yeast overgrowth) - rice soup with chicken / vegetables. Add cooked meats, fish, eggs, grains. Day 3 Transition to a simple Low FODMAP diet or Dr Jacobi's Bi-Phasic Diet   If SIBO breath test is negative start challenging the Low FODMAP diet as described with Elimination Diet Challenge above.   Same day retesting available in Australia with com Notify the lab before sending the test for fast-tracking Overnight the test back to com What are common symptoms that are usually no cause for alarm? Constipation (due to no fibre intake) Bowel movements can change largely - client is not eating enough food to pass on a regular basis. Great therapeutics include magnesium, herbal laxatives, suppositories, enemas. Nausea Can start within first couple of days and usually then goes away. Solution is to dilute formula a bit more if you can. Can be due to vitamins and supplements taken in addition to Elemental Diet. Recommendation to discontinue non-essential supplements. If using Dr Siebecker's Formula, switch to the lower fat higher carb option, as the high fat option can cause a bit more nausea. Bowel changes May notice passing stools of dry grey powder - if formula used is powder. Diarrhoea - could be a reaction to something in the formula (look to corn oil, soy oil). Treat for dehydration - keep them hydrated and advise sipping formula slowly throughout the day (which also assists blood sugar regulation). What to do to improve flavour of the homemade Elemental Diet? Options may include: Stevia Flavoured magnesium powder (use caution here with appropriate quantity). Extract drops, such as almond, peppermint etc. Blend with ice. Use a cup with a straw so as to not smell it. Do not let it sit out for more than the time that it is being consumed. The Half Elemental Diet Not used for SIBO treatment Can be used for providing bowel rest for anyone in an inflammatory bowel flare. Can be used to increase caloric intake for someone who is requiring hypoallergenic caloric supplementation (a few days to a week's duration) - used as a caloric and nutritional booster for those with extreme food sensitivities. Additions If client is getting hungry on having the Elemental Diet - add coconut or MCT oil to formula to increase calories. Dr Altman's opinion on using the Elemental Diet in the daytime and eating meat at night? The difference between meat protein and elemental diet protein - the latter is in a free form and are therefore rapidly absorbed and not much reaches the colon. Initiate prokinetics immediately at completion of Elemental Diet to inhibit regrowth of SIBO. Consider low dose antimicrobial herbs at completion of Elemental Diet to inhibit regrowth. Consider that stomach acid is killing most of the bacteria that we ingest - support this if necessary. Consider the underlying root cause of client's initial SIBO and keep that managed to prevent relapse. Dr Altman's clinical pearls re The Elemental Diet. The cost of a 2-week course of The Elemental Diet Example at 6 shakes per day of Physicians' Elemental Diet it comes to approximately $650 USD. No need for hunger - patients can have as many shakes as they want.     Resources Dr Lela Altman Dr Altman's talk Elemental Diet Webinar with CME available.

Natural Treatment For Menopause http://learntruehealth.com/menopause/ Weight Loss & Menopause With Herbs And Chinese Medicine I have Dana LaVoie here today to teach us about menopause. Even if you're not menopausal yet or past menopause, it is important to know this important stage in a woman's life. LaVoie is a licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist practicing for about 14 years. Women's health and menopause are her specializations as well as in tonic herbs. There are so many of her clients who have benefitted so much from Chinese medicine. I remember my mom going through menopause and she for 5 years, only saw an Acupuncturist which is a traditional Chinese doctor. She was cooking herbs on the stove every day. I never saw her go through hot flashes. Hence, it was like she never went through menopause. It's amazing to see Natural Medicine give her so much relief. Consequently, if we're really healthy, we don't have to have symptoms. Understanding Menopause Weight loss is a hot issue around women of all ages but especially around menopause or during menopause. Most women complain of the sudden weight gain. "During menopause, your hormones are changing. If you're really healthy, your body will be able to keep hormones in balance. Your metabolism stays good," LaVoie said. Understanding Weight Loss & Weight Gain "If your body can't keep up, that's when you get the menopausal symptoms like weight gain," said LaVoie. "What you eat is a lot more than losing weight. Think of diet as a way of nourishing your body to be healthy. Only then it becomes a lifestyle." LaVoie suggests eating a warm, easy breakfast like congee is easy to digest. Congee is a Chinese comfort food that is easy to digest. It's grains that are cooked for a long time in a large amount of liquid. Like a porridge. "If you're having trouble losing weight, look at how much cold, raw or frozen food you're eating," explains LaVoie. "Because that puts out your digestive fire which is your metabolism. You can gain weight just by eating cold, raw or frozen food." My husband eats frozen organic blueberries. And he started gaining weight. He just eats a handful of cashews, some vegetables or meat or some eggs for breakfast. But whenever he eats frozen blueberries, he gains weight. LaVoie has a client with the same situation. The client's diet is smoothies made with fruits and ice, salads which are raw and cold, and yogurt yet she's still gaining weight. LaVoie immediately knew what the problem was. Hence, It was an easy fix. Foods For Certain Body Types I know Ayurvedic medicine is not Chinese medicine but I know they have identified different body personalities or 'dosha' wherein somebody types should eat more warm foods and another type. "There are people whose symptoms or problems they have, are primarily due to excess heat that they have inside their body," LaVoie said, "They have excess conditions caused by heat. Hence, they need to eat more raw or cooling foods." Furthermore, LaVoie explains that others have a body personality where digestion is a weak area. If they eat a lot of cold and cleansing food, they get half-digested. She says that accumulates and turns into weight gain. It's called 'phlegm' and 'dampness' in Chinese medicine. Fire And Water Energies LaVoie says a woman can feel hot for two reasons. You have fire and water energies in your body so sometimes when you feel hot, it means you don't have enough water. She says this is called deficiency fire. It tends to come and go in flashes usually worse at night. As a result, you tend to get dryness. Using herbal tonics to treat menopause, results are usually seen after a couple of weeks. But the first big change happens after 3 months. Anyone who starts a tonic herbal program, they first do a foundation combination of herbs for 99 days to cleanse and reset. That's how long the body cycles through the first big change. And then move on to the next phase. Avoiding Diet Pitfalls "You don't want your body to think you're in starvation mode. The primitive part of your brain starts to think something is wrong," LaVoie cautioned. "It takes 6 months for your metabolism to recover from being in that starvation mode." "Your brain chemistry starts to change and your hormones start to change. Your metabolism immediately starts to go down but your cravings go up. This increases your stress hormones," said LaVoie. LaVoie shares what Dr. Mark Hyman said on her blog, as to why diet fails. He says that the average person gains 11 pounds for every diet that they go on. And Dr. Hyman says when they lose weight, they lose muscle, not fat. When they gain weight back, it's all fat. "If you can just keep your metabolism up by not starving and instead of satiating yourself 5 times a day every 3 hours with nutritious food, weight loss is easier," concluded LaVoie. Boosting Metabolism La Voie's program is boosting metabolism naturally. While there are benefits from different kinds of fasting, the Chinese medicine approach to a healthy digestion is to eat regularly. "Insulin and sugar hugely contribute to weight gain. It ties in with the hormone cortisol, your stress hormone," LaVoie said. "If your insulin level is uneven it increases your stress hormone levels and inflammation." Earth Energy Furthermore, she explains that in Chinese medicine, your digestive system is considered your earth energy. It's where you make blood and your watery essence from. If your digestive system is poor, your body can't make blood and your watery essence. In menopause, watery essence controls the fire in our body, moisturizes our body and keeps you calm. "Without watery essence, your mood spikes and fly all over the place," LaVoie said. "Lack of watery essence leads to dry tendons, frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel and lack flexibility. Some women can also get dry eyes and mouth during menopause." Our mucous membranes also become dry and that leads to painful intercourse. Women are less likely to have a sex drive if they have all these imbalances. LaVoie also said that recurring urinary tract infection is really unpleasant. Because if your vaginal tissues are dry, they are less plump. So the opening becomes bigger. If they are plump, it's hard for bacteria to get in. Foods To Improve Water Essence LaVoie suggests that having a high amount of fruits and vegetables helps in making sure your water essence is sufficient. Because those foods are cooling and moistening. Pears, seeds, black beans are particularly good to include in your diet. She also said that as you approach menopause, there are estrogen-rich foods which are safe. Flax seeds, organic, fermented and non-GMO soy, as well as sesame seeds, are good. Healthy fats are going to be a great basis. Make sure you're not iron-deficient as well. When I was growing up, my mom took us to Dr. D' Adamo. James D'Adamo. The father of the original creator of the "Eat Right For Your Type" blood type book. Going to him growing up, he had us on this kick. He had us do this every morning---freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and his mysterious protein powder and flaxseed all blended together with our Vitamix. If you don't drink it fast enough, it turns to gel which I personally prefer. I never had a problem with constipation and I always had perfect digestion. LaVoie's Daily Morning Smoothie Here's what LaVoie puts in her warm smoothie which she drinks every morning. You can mix match the bases to give you a different flavor every day: Liquid - Water/ Coconut water/ nut milk/ herbal tea (make sure the liquid base is warm) Herbs - Herb capsules Seeds - flaxseeds/ chia/ sesame / Brazil nuts/ almonds Healthy fats - coconut oil/ egg yolk Spices - cinnamon / ginger/ ginger root (good for digestion) Protein powder - pea protein/whey protein from grass-fed cows Sweet fruit drops (alternative to stevia) Green powder Fruit powder Fruit Vegetables Superfoods Cocoa powder Pinch of salt Yogurt Herbal Program LaVoie noticed that the ones who benefits the most are the ones to take the herbs regularly for 3 months up to 2 years. She thought,'How can I make more people excited about taking their herbs more regularly?' So she created a program. The program is a one-on-one thing that is customized to your health goals and your budget. It is delivered to you every month. You have to use up all the herbs in the box before the next box comes. And then LaVoie usually calls in her clients and re-evaluate their progress after 3 months. There's also a weekly Q & A with her as well as a resource library. The program is very affordable so more women can avail of this program. LaVoie expanded it for menopausal clients. She came up with 16 herbal combinations specifically for menopause. Menopause Basics: What To Eat First of all, LaVoie says to eat a good diet and have a healthy lifestyle. Combine that with herbs and you get amazing results. "Eating the right foods is the way to start. In this program, everything you want to include in your diet to make your hormones balance naturally," said LaVoie. "Any age is ok. It's not a diet. This is just what to include in your diet." She adds, if you want to have coffee or doughnut, it's fine. But you need to balance it with healthy foods. You need to have them often enough. By getting that healthy food in your body, it evens out your hormones, energy, blood sugar and mood. LaVoie's 4-Steps To Hormonal Balance 1. What you include in your diet is more important that what you leave out. 2. By practicing stress management and eating protein and healthy fat often enough throughout the day, you can help balance cortisol and insulin levels, which helps your other hormones immensely. 3. Avoid the worst of the hormone disrupting chemicals. 4. Add adaptogenic superfoods into the diet. Finally, LaVoie advises," Adapt the Chinese medicine into your menopause. It's called the "second spring". If you get some healthy habits in place now, it will stay on track for the rest of your life." Dana LaVoie is the founder and creator of Menopause Basics.
