What if your body has been speaking to you all along, through your energy, emotions, cravings, symptoms and seasons of life? Good Food: Better Sex is a nourishing food medicine guide about rebuilding a loving, respectful relationship with your body, your health and your life force, without shame.

In Chinese Medicine, sexual energy is not simply about sex, it is the deep root of vitality, creativity, confidence, ageing well and feeling fully alive. This book helps you understand what your body is asking for through different seasons, emotions and physical symptoms, so you can choose foods that warm, cool, strengthen, soothe, move and nourish you.

It is an invitation to stop fighting your body and start listening to it, to feed yourself with care, restore your energy from the inside out, and cultivate the kind of life force that helps you live long, love deeply and prosper in every part of your life.

What if cooking could become a way of listening to your body, understanding your energy, and caring for yourself through the seasons, emotions and organs?

In Chinese Medicine, food is understood through its relationship with the Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Each element connects with different organs, emotions, seasons, flavours and physical symptoms. Wood relates to the Liver and the movement of energy, Fire to the Heart and joy, Earth to the Spleen and digestion, Metal to the Lungs and letting go, and Water to the Kidneys and deep vitality.

This little book helps you begin to understand how food can warm, cool, move, strengthen, dry, moisten or settle the body, so you can make simple choices that support digestion, mood, energy, immunity and emotional balance.
