In the last 12+ years of being in this industry I have seen massive changes in people’s overall health. We are suffering from chronic digestive disorders, allergies and food intolerances, autoimmune conditions, disrupted hormones and disrupted endocrine function, weight issues and anxiety at younger and younger ages. So, what are we doing?!!

Well, we have quite a few challenges to our health simply from modern living. Work/life balance is so skewed that we don’t have much down time for relaxation, the exposure to toxins is at levels that most people’s livers and detoxification pathways will not be able to keep up with it, the quality of food ingested on a daily basis is vastly inferior and daily stress levels are through the roof. Our bodies are incredibly resilient, but only if we give it what it needs to function efficiently. So, how do we do this?

By starting with looking at the food we eat. We have partial control of the other factors mentioned above, but the main thing we DO have control of is what we decide to put into our body’s. The food we eat ether nourishes, heals and supports the bodies’ biochemical processes…. or causes inflammation, damages the gut microbiome, reduces immune function and causes autoimmune responses.

If you can simply start by nourishing yourself with whole foods, buying organic whenever possible (try at least with the dirty dozen list and meat), eliminate processed foods, pesticides and additives, reduce plastic use and find the style of eating that suits your individual biochemistry you will be amazed at how quickly the body will start healing itself and work for you. Here’s to hoping you find a new founded respect and love nourishing foods that will improve your health and and create a life lived well!
