As the days stay short and the air turns cold, many of us feel that familiar "winter slump"—a combination of low energy, lingering brain fog, and a dip in mood. While it’s tempting to reach for extra caffeine or sugary comfort foods, the real solution lies in functional nutrition.
At W-E Primary Care and Acupuncture, our Healthy Cooking Workshops bridge the gap between two powerful worlds:
Western Science: We focus on nutrient density, specifically looking for foods rich in Omega-3s, Vitamin D, and B vitamins that support neurological health and stable blood sugar.
Eastern Food-as-Medicine: We utilize the "energetics" of food. In the winter, your body needs warming, moving ingredients to counteract the cold, stagnant environment. This means using spices that stoke your "internal fire" and promote healthy circulation.
By learning to prep meals that align with the season, you aren't just eating; you’re medicating your body with high-quality fuel designed to boost your vitality. From heart-warming stews to immune-boosting broths, we show you how to make "healthy" taste like "home." What seasonal ingredient (like ginger or citrus) are you cooking with this week?
