What if conversation became practice—practitioner and patient moving together, clinic and kitchen as an expanded workshop where knowledge comes alive and transformation unfolds?
Through attention, rhythm, and the simple act of practice, nourishment becomes more than support. It becomes a cornerstone, a living medicine, and a way for patients to cultivate confidence and trust in their own health.
Practitioners and students of East Asian medicine who want to:
Expand their SIBO toolkit with practical, grounded strategies that elevate clinical care and help patients carry healing into their daily lives.
Bring the clinic into the kitchen by using ingredients, food combinations, and cooking methods with the same intention you bring to herbal formulas and point prescriptions.
Engage patients in their own healing by creating nutritional strategies that empower participation and reinforce mindful habits.
Gain practical insights and tools to elevate SIBO and digestive care—designed for practitioners who want to go beyond symptom management and foster lasting healing.
Learn through dialogue. Participate in the included 10-day online forum—work through real cases, connect with peers, and strengthen your clinical confidence with Andrew’s feedback.
Bring food into your toolkit. Gain shared recipes, cooking methods, and meal strategies that help patients actively participate in their own healing.
Understand SIBO. Reframe this chronic imbalance through the principles of East Asian medicine.
Support patients with insight and care. Use mindful strategies to ease discomfort and translate food choices into empowering, health-supporting habits.
An expanded mindset. Confidently support digestion in ways that are restorative, thoughtful and intentional—not pathology-centered.
East Asian Dietetics in the Treatment of SIBO

East Asian Dietetics in the Treatment of SIBO
with Andrew Sterman
After repeated childhood incidences of what some may call mystical experiences, Andrew began searching for the ground of such experience by studying deeply in music and art, meditation, philosophy-psychology, tai chi, qigong, and in classical Chinese medicine. Perhaps because he found the ground of experience in all of these, without disappointment, Andrew’s teaching style is to welcome people as they are, and inspire everyone to use practices in diet, qigong, or spirit work to overcome blockages without self-judgment. We don’t need to become “better” people, we just need to live with true ease. The way to personal and social healing is through life’s essentials: eating, breathing, moving, and cultivating our perception. The details we can all learn; the essence is a feeling.
Andrew has studied extensively with Chinese medicine master Jeffrey Yuen, Tibetan Dzogchen master Namkhai Norbu, natural cooking innovator Annemarie Colbin, and many others. He teaches mind-body-artistry at the New School University College of Performing Arts in New York City, and is certified to teach Chinese medicine dietary practice for acupuncturist CEU’s. Andrew remains an active musician, touring internationally with the Philip Glass Ensemble, which he also manages. Andrew sees private clients over video connection and in person in New York, has two adult children, and lives with acupuncturist/author/teacher Ann Cecil-Sterman.
