The human body was designed to heal itself. We just need to provide the right nutrition for the body's incredibly complex machine to function at peak performance. Would you expect an expensive race car with a high performance engine to run on regular gas? Why do you treat your body this way?
The body's energy comes from ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) which is the fuel for our system and which needs vitamins and minerals, amino acids and fats to function. Sure, you can survive on fast food and junk food, but for how long and how great will you feel? Do you blame your aches and pains on your age, your genetics, hormones or thirty other excuses? It's time to understand it's not just calories in, calories out....we've been lied to.
Nutrition can be the difference between a chronic illness or even death or feeling your full vitality, the life you were meant to live. Watch this inspirational story by Dr. Terry Wahls who was in a wheelchair after being diagnosed with MS (Multiple Sclerosis). She learned a whole new way to heal her body, unlike what she'd learned in medical school. She learned about the science of nutrigenomics.
One man's meat is another man's poison.

Nutrition and the Microbiome
Did you know the microbes in your digestive system determine your health a lot more than your genes? A comprehensive study on identical twins identify what actually makes them different since genetically they are carbon copies of each other, so genetics aren't part of the equation.
What you eat and your lifestyle have a lot more influence over your health than genetics ever did. Stop using genetics as an excuse for bad health. The responsibility is ours, we need to stop blaming everything for our illness and look at what we are eating, thinking and other lifestyle contributions to our health or our demise.
A New Terrain
We know more about outer space and other galaxies than we know about our own body. The gut microbiome has been ignored for years and it is the center for our system. Only in the past few years is our gut getting any attention from the medical establishment. Doctors don't learn about nutrition or the microbiome in medical school, they learn only what they are taught and that is to push pills for the medical system. There's no profit in making you healthy...it's up to you.
