Traditional Nutritional Wisdom & Coaching
Traditional Food Therapy in Lawrence, KS
"I eat healthy, so why do I still feel tired?" We hear this every day. The problem is usually not what you are eating, but whether it matches your unique constitution.
​
In modern culture, we are bombarded with trends: Keto, Vegan, Paleo, and Intermittent Fasting. But food is not one-size-fits-all. A raw salad might be healthy for your friend, but if you have a "cold" digestive system, it might be the cause of your bloating.
​
At EsTherapy, Dr. Esther cuts through the noise. We don't hand you a generic diet sheet. We teach you Food Therapy.
Our Philosophy: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Bodies
Dr. Esther’s coaching is rooted in two timeless traditions:
-
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): Viewing food as energy (Qi). We identify if your body is "Damp," "Hot," or "Cold," and prescribe foods to restore balance.
-
The Wisdom of Maimonides (Rambam): Using the science-aligned health principles of the great physician and philosopher to promote longevity and digestion.
We don't count calories. We count nutrients and vitality.
​
Who Is This For?
This program is designed for women who are ready to stop "dieting" and start nourishing. It is especially effective for:
-
Digestive Issues: Chronic bloating, IBS, or acid reflux.
-
Hormonal Imbalances: Managing PCOS, menopause, weight gain, or fatigue.
-
Chronic Inflammation: Joint pain, skin flare-ups, or brain fog.
-
Confusion: You feel overwhelmed by conflicting health advice and want a clear, proven roadmap.
How It Works: The Coaching Program
You can work with Dr. Esther in person at our Lawrence, KS, clinic or virtually from anywhere.
Step 1: The Audit: We review your current habits, cravings, and schedule. We look at how you eat, not just what you eat.
Step 2: The Custom Plan: You receive a personalized nutritional guide. This isn't a restrictive "no-eat" list. It is an abundance plan that shows you which foods will heal your specific gut lining and boost your energy.
-
Example: If you have "Dampness" (sluggish metabolism), we may focus on warm, cooked root vegetables and aromatic spices, while reducing raw foods.
Step 3: The Lifestyle Integration: Knowing what to do is easy; actually doing it is hard. As your coach, Dr. Esther provides the accountability and practical tools (recipes, shopping tips) to make these changes stick for life.
