In this episode of The Eating for You Podcast, I’m joined by Tania Grasseschi, a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, acupuncturist, and Qigong teacher, to explore how to transition from winter to spring with ease. 

🌸 We dive into the wisdom of Chinese medicine to understand how seasonal changes affect our body, emotions, and food choices.

🥬 Tania shares practical tips for supporting your liver and gallbladder—the key organs of spring—through simple dietary adjustments, like adding sour and bitter flavors, embracing leafy greens, and preparing foods that nourish both body and mind. 

🌳 We also discuss how mindful movement, such as Qigong, helps to keep energy flowing, reduce blockages, and improve emotional balance.

Whether you want to:

1) Eat more in tune with the seasons, 

2) Reduce sugar cravings naturally, or 

3) Understand how food and movement can restore vitality, 

This episode is filled with gentle, empowering advice for welcoming spring with balance and mindfulness.

Whether you’re curious about growing lavender at home or creating your own sleep sprays and insect-repellent blends, Louise shares practical tips you can start using right away.

You’ll hear why choosing 100% natural, locally grown lavender matters and how to spot synthetic “fragrance oils” so you can be sure to purchase a lavender that is right for you.
