Health talk in Mandarin - Normal-weight obesity and metabolic health

Join Dr Zhao, Co-Director of the Australia-China Chinese Medicine Centre, Western Sydney University, for a seminar exploring the concept of Normal-Weight Obesity (NWO). sometimes described as being “thin on the outside, fat on the inside”.

Drawing on the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) principle of “Spleen Dampness and Metabolic Gridlock” (脾湿致壅) from the Huangdi Neijing (The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Medicine), Dr Zhao will examine the connections between TCM theory and contemporary Western understandings of endocrine and metabolic health.

You’ll understand:

• Normal-Weight Obesity (NWO) and its health implications 
• The relationship between TCM concepts and modern metabolic science 
• Metabolic traits and health patterns commonly seen in people of Chinese heritage 
• How medicinal-food ingredients may support metabolic wellbeing and pancreatic function 
• Practical lifestyle, nutrition and daily routine strategies to help reduce metabolic risk

Ideal for anyone interested in preventive health, healthy aging and integrating traditional and modern approaches to wellbeing.
