What is Sasang Constitutional Medicine?
The lineage of Sasang Constitutional Medicine I practice incorporates an added layer of Chinese Astrology (Ba Zi) by using five-element natal charts to determine your constitution. Generally, there are four primary constitutions, each with their own variations that help identify the foods best suited for you.
Five Element Chart Example
Here’s a little glimpse into what your five element chart may look like. This is the source of where your constitution and all other characteristics are derived for increased accuracy. There are many factors that can influence your health such as missing elements, or having an excess or deficiency within your organ systems. The proper nutritional guidelines will help to support your specific internal landscape.
My Own Personal Experience
Growing up Filipino in America, daughter of immigrants that both worked 9-5 jobs—I ate a lot of junk and a bunch of processed foods and rich Filipino dishes. Not only that, I had the biggest sugar tooth. This early childhood set the tone for the typical American diet until my 20’s where I started learning to be more food-conscious. I started figuring out major no’s for me like gluten and dairy. I explored anti-inflammatory and autoimmune diets, but it wasn’t until I received my Sasang reading that I was really able to fine-tune the foods I ate.
My teacher explained I had been eating the wrong foods my whole life, since I was a child. Many of the Western diets and protocols don’t take into account these “genetic” variations. It’s one protocol for everyone. So, once I was able to properly integrate this system into my daily life, things really started to change in regards to my gut health and autoimmune flares.
Testimonials
“I’ve had digestive disorders for most of my life: mostly food and skin sensitivities. Even though I studied medicine, I still had a hard time understanding what foods triggered me, because they always seemed to change. I wasn’t really expecting much with Celine’s Sasang nutritional reading, I’ve already tried vegetarianism, elimination diets, fasting, with no lasting benefits. There was definitely a hard transition period (with lots of support from Celine), when I switched how I think about my favorite foods, but I can say now, 3 months afterwards, that this was actually life-changing. My skin is clear and much less reactive, I don’t bloat anymore, and I don’t really need caffeine. My energy is even and my focus is way better, I’m still kind of floored at how different I feel. I would recommend Celine’s Sasang medicine to anyone with any kind of gut concerns.”

“Celine’s nutritional guidelines helped me solve lifelong issues with my skin, sleep, and overall well-being. By identifying problematic foods through my chart reading and eliminating them from my diet, I can think clearer and my mood has improved drastically. I wish I had this information decades ago!”

“I've been on Celine's recommended diet for a few months now, and while I can't say I've followed it perfectly, it's already helped me in many ways, some I didn't expect. My digestive issues have begun to lessen and improve such as gas and bloating. My skin is also clearing up.”
