Seasonal nutrition emphasizes eating in alignment with the natural cycles of the year. Foods that grow and ripen in each season support the body’s changing needs. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) further develops this approach by associating each season with specific organ systems, elements, and energetics.

Modern nutrition complements these seasonal and energetic frameworks by focusing on nutrient density, antioxidant protection, gut health, and immune resilience. Eating seasonally ensures higher nutrient content, freshness, and greater microbiome diversity, while also promoting sustainability. Seasonal eating harmonizes physical health, emotional balance, cognition, and connection to nature’s rhythms.
