❓Why do some people eat well, yet still feel unwell? Could your nutrition be out of balance?

In this chapter, you’ll explore the synergy and distinctions between Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Western medicine, and nutritional science.
You’ll learn how TCM views digestion, energy (qi), and food as both nourishment and medicine, and discover how “food as therapy” aligns with modern metabolic insights. This is where ancient wisdom meets modern evidence—and real healing begins.

🎯 Learning Outcomes

Compare how TCM, Western medicine, and nutritional science each define and approach health.
Understand the philosophy of “medicine and food from the same source” (药食同源) in relation to modern nutrients.
Explore the connection between qi (vital energy) flow and nutritional metabolism.
Learn to distinguish between eating well vs. eating right—and recognize signs of nutritional imbalance.
Gain insight into how TCM + nutrition = a combined approach of regulation and repair.
Analyze clinical cases applying integrative strategies to improve metabolic and chronic conditions.

🌿 Reflection｜“When upright energy resides within, no illness can invade” — True nutrition strengthens the body from the inside out

This chapter brought together Eastern and Western views, helping you move from simply “adding nutrients” to truly understanding the art of balance.

As the Huang Di Nei Jing teaches: “When 正气 (vital energy) is strong within,邪气 (external pathogens) cannot harm.” That is the essence of healing—not just resisting disease, but nurturing internal strength.
With this perspective, every meal becomes more than fuel—it becomes a choice to restore harmony. May what you’ve learned empower you to nourish others, and may every bite you share become a quiet act of healing.
