Unfortunately for most, changing the way they eat is usually a reactionary reason to a health ailment/challenge or specific health goal. Very few people practice nutrition as their way of life to achieve and maintain optimal health. Or in a sense, using food as their medicine and backbone to their wellness.

Our human biology is very complex. We need the nutrients from food to survive. But we also get the majority of toxins from foods that cause us disease. So it begs the question of what is the ideal diet for the human?

Also, for many, they don’t know what food is or what food can do to their body. We live in a world where our food supply has been severely tainted. We live in a world where our food has become severely processed. We live in a world where our food has become our greatest health enemy. So it begs the statement… we really don’t know how to eat. And the rules and fad diets continue to change giving us proof that we continue to chase the next best way to eat right. Or the next best way to lose weight.

The purposes of this nutrition groundwork are to set up a process to learn what food is, what we were meant to eat, how we are meant to eat it, and how to put a lasting nutrition plan together for yourself and your family.

Changing the way you eat and approach nutrition is difficult as we have been indoctrinated into convenience, addiction, and comfort.
