Macrobiotics involves a set of choices in nutrition and lifestyle designed to bolster health and minimize the likelihood of illness. The dietary choices involve a mostly plant-based, whole foods diet. [NOTE: Include WebMD assessment here].

Macrobiotics is a small but resilient movement led by a coalition of highly trained counselors who learned directly from a lineage of teachers reaching back to Japan around 1920. Macrobiotic counselors teach nutritional principles, cooking skills, menu planning, and the use the diagnostic principles from Traditional Chinese Medicine to monitor one’s own health. Cooking, diet and lifestyle are ideally intended to be adjusted for each individual’s need based on their condition at a certain time.

As of 2020, I estimate that there are perhaps a dozen or fewer senior counselors available worldwide.

Macrobiotic counselor:

  • Able to offer guidance for those with cancer, advanced cardiovascular problems,

HIV, Lyme disease, serious psychological, addiction or nervous system problems, and other immune issues.

The counselors train members of the public, but also certify some followers are macrobiotics coaches.

Macrobiotic coach:

  • Has a broad understanding of macrobiotic diet, cooking, and lifestyle practices
  • Helps people establish a clear direction for their health and life
  • Helps to improve life of oneself and others through creating order and structure in diet, cooking, and lifestyle practices
  • Provides support for creating order and structure
  • Can provide a combined plan for what to do and how to do it based on the goal
  • Can help with shopping, setting up a kitchen, menu-planning, and guidance on cooking and lifestyle practices
  • Can offer support and encouragement, positive guidance, and lifestyle practices
