Originally derived from ancient Eastern concepts and the medical writings of Sagen Ishizuka, the modern macrobiotic philosophy was largely developed and propagated by Japanese philosopher George Ohsawa. Ohsawa's work, which integrated the principles of yin and yang with traditional diets, became the foundation for the macrobiotic movement that spread throughout the 20th century.

Developed and popularized by Michio Kushi in the 1970s, the Kushi diet is a modified form of the macrobiotic dietary and lifestyle philosophy. This approach emphasizes balancing Eastern yin-yang principles through the consumption of whole grains and vegetables for holistic health, moving away from more restrictive early versions.
