Shan: Chinese Body Types

Your body has a type. Eat like it.

Calorie apps treat every body as identical. Chinese medicine never did — it reads each body as one of nine types, and treats food as the first remedy. Shan puts that 2,000-year-old system in your pocket, and turns it into one home-cooked meal a day.

HOW IT WORKS

• Answer a short set of questions — refined since the Huangdi Neijing
• Scan your tongue — the oldest read there is
• Meet your body type — one of nine, from China's national standard
• Get your week: 7 recipes for 7 days, one meal a day, chosen for your type
• Check in weekly — the plan adjusts to how you actually feel

NO COUNTING. NO GUILT. Shan never asks you to weigh food or log macros. You eat what your body's been asking for, and the rest — an easier gut, deeper sleep, clearer skin — tends to follow.

MORE THAN RECIPES

• Scan any restaurant menu — see what fits your body before you order
• A grocery list built from your week, automatically
• A polaroid food diary that feels like a scrapbook, not a chore
• Mom Talk: your inner Chinese mom, who roasts you because she loves you

ROOTED, NOT WOO

• The constitution framework appears in the WHO's ICD-11 classification
• Validation studies live in the National Library of Medicine
• Based on China's national standard — Dr. Wang Qi, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine

WHO SHAN IS FOR Bodies that bloat after meals. Run cold. Run hot. Wake up tired. Break out before deadlines. There's a type behind the pattern — and a way of eating for it.

Shan (膳) — the old character for a meal prepared with care. It hung over the imperial kitchen. Now it's yours. No calorie counting. No endless logging. No lectures. Just good food, cooked for your body the way Chinese tradition has approached eating for centuries — with modern research alongside it.
