This two-part series explores how seasonal eating, herbs, and supplements can support the body during the warmest months of the year. Drawing from both Eastern and Western traditions, the course examines how summer heat affects digestion, hydration, metabolism, and energy—and how dietary and herbal choices can help the body adapt more comfortably to seasonal demands.
Participants learn how to use cooling foods, beverages, herbs, and supplements to support stamina, digestive ease, and overall balance, along with practical guidance for applying seasonal principles in everyday life.

Summer places unique demands on the body. Heat, longer days, increased activity, and dehydration risk can all affect digestion, metabolism, energy levels, and elimination. This two-part course presents a holistic framework for supporting summer health through thoughtful food choices, targeted herbal support, and seasonally appropriate supplementation.
The first portion of the series focuses on whole foods, juices, and smoothies that are traditionally used to cool excess heat, support digestion, and maintain vitality during warm weather. Participants explore how seasonal eating helps regulate metabolism and supports natural detoxification, much like adjusting clothing to match the climate. Emphasis is placed on practical, enjoyable foods that nourish without overheating or overburdening digestion.
The second portion expands into herbs and supplements commonly used during summer. Participants learn how specific plants and nutrients support hydration, temperature regulation, stamina, and recovery, along with guidance on preparation methods, dosage considerations, and simple herbal beverage recipes suitable for hot weather. Rather than promoting isolated remedies, the course emphasizes how food and herbs work together as a seasonal system.
