What is Yin Shi and who is this app for?

Yin Shi is the ONLY application that merges traditional Chinese dietetics with modern nutrition. It targets TCM therapists, dietitians, nutritionists, and chefs who want to understand how food becomes therapeutic. Yin Shi shows how every dish can support health according to Chinese energetic principles while being validated by contemporary nutritional science.

How many therapeutic foods are available in Yin Shi?

Yin Shi references over 250 therapeutic foods with their dual profile: complete energetic properties (thermal nature, flavors, meridians, actions) AND modern nutritional composition. Each food shows how its daily culinary use becomes health support, simply transforming the act of eating into a therapeutic approach.

Is Yin Shi available in multiple languages?

Yes, Yin Shi is available in 5 languages: French, English, Spanish, Arabic, and German. This unique multilingual approach allows professionals worldwide to access this fusion of Chinese dietetics and modern nutrition, regardless of their culture or training.

How does Yin Shi's free trial work?

Yin Shi offers a 1-month free trial to discover this innovative approach. Full access to the database, create personalized protocols combining TCM and modern nutrition, and see how food becomes therapeutic. No credit card required to explore this unique methodology.

What are the differences between Yin Shi and a classic nutrition app?

Yin Shi is UNIQUE on the market: while classic apps focus only on calories and nutrients, Yin Shi adds the Chinese energetic dimension. Each food is analyzed from two angles: its thermal properties (hot/cold), therapeutic flavors, targeted meridians AND its nutritional composition. This dual approach explains why the same food can be beneficial for one person and less for another, depending on their energetic profile.

Does Yin Shi work on mobile and desktop?

Yes, Yin Shi is cross-platform for your practice: web app for quick consultation, iOS/Android mobile for patient follow-up in practice, and desktop versions for in-depth analysis. This flexibility allows therapists, dietitians, and chefs to integrate the therapeutic approach into their daily practice, wherever they are.

Are Yin Shi's protocols based on authentic sources?

Absolutely. Yin Shi relies on fundamental TCM texts (Huangdi Neijing, Ben Cao Gang Mu, Shiliao Bencao) and cross-references them with current scientific studies. This dual validation ensures that each therapeutic recommendation is both traditionally grounded and scientifically validated, offering unique credibility for health professionals.

Can I use Yin Shi if I'm a beginner in Chinese dietetics?

Yes, Yin Shi makes Chinese dietetics accessible to all. Beginners discover how food becomes therapeutic through simple, visual explanations. Experienced practitioners deepen their knowledge with advanced protocols. Chefs learn to create health-supportive dishes. Yin Shi is the perfect bridge between tradition and modernity.
