Dr. Renee Fudge, DACM, Lic. Acu
I'm Renee, the founder of Cultivate, a women’s wellness and fertility clinic in Nashville, TN. In my experience practicing Traditional Medicine, I have noticed that many clients have difficulty finding the time to be creative with their food choices. Simply handing over a list of beneficial foods is an ineffective way of exciting people about food as an integral portion of their healing, so I created recipes that incorporate beneficial foods for common conditions.
Food is meant to be enjoyed, therefore focus should be on the preparation of beneficial foods and not obsessing about which foods might need to be eliminated (these are usually the foods that people tend to be addicted to and “enjoy”). Once a natural rhythm and connection to the body are regained, cravings for unhealthy foods will usually dissipate on their own.
I created ‘The TCM Kitchen’ to help others simplify their healing process by using food as the first choice of defense or prevention against ailments and disease. My mission is to show you how to create simple recipes with basic ingredients that can be easily obtained and prepared by any level of experience in the kitchen. By empowering you to become an active participant in your healing; I hope to help you regain balance and teach you how to maintain health according to your body's constitution and needs.
Learning which foods are good for you at this point in time and understanding how to use the beneficial ingredients gives you access to a powerful hands-on healing process. My hope is that nutritional therapy becomes commonplace in every home and takes precedence over medications or other “blanket” modalities.
I have created these recipes with all people and practitioners in mind. I hope that you will find them to be easy and delicious and that they help you regain balance in body, mind, and spirit.
From my kitchen to yours,
Renee
