Seed oils were not originally created for human consumption!

They are high in omega-6 fatty acids that accumulate in your body. These fats cause oxidation and inflammation and are deficient in nutrients. When you consume foods that lack nutrients, like seed oils, your body has to pull from nutrient reserves, creating deficiencies.

For the last installment of the Nutrition Basics series it's....supplements 💊 🌿

You’re doing all the other basics-plenty of water, fiber, and a clean, wholesome diet, but still struggling with certain issues that seem to persist.

You may still be missing key nutrients. Or may need them in different combinations or ratios.

We've all seen copious amounts of ads for products that claim to heal you from the inside out or relieve you of your symptoms, disorder, disease, etc. But, falling for the "one size fits all" approach can be tricky, expensive, and frustrating.

You may have a cabinet full of half-used supplements and rock bottom hope after deciding to go the natural route to no avail.

If that's the case, or even if it's not, let's chat. I offer free initial consultations and personalized testing, so we can figure out together which supplements would be better suited for you.

Whether it’s inflammation, pain, fatigue, weight gain, insomnia, or any other issues you’re dealing with-I’m here to guide you.

So ditch the "what ifs" and call me today. What do you have to lose?

When videos don’t work out, it’s time to improvise 😅 🎥

Part 3 of Nutrition Basics is:

【ＤＩＥＴ】

When it comes to diet, there is a lot of confusing and conflicting information out there.

From the Keto diet to the Mediterranean diet, all the way to the vegan and vegetarian diet, and everything in between-let’s explore some basic principles that should apply to anyone no matter the different foods that one chooses to eat.

𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝. This may be obvious, but eating this way will ensure a more nutrient-dense diet, while avoiding preservatives, chemicals, synthetic vitamins, and other unnatural things. 

𝐑𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐚𝐭 will ensure you’re getting a variety of different nutrients.

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐭. Avoid isolated protein, which is added to protein shakes, bars, chips, etc. It’s considered a processed food and isn’t giving your body the nutrients it needs.

𝐄𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜, 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭, 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐟𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝. This can be incredibly difficult considering the cost compared to conventional farming, but the benefits add up over a lifetime and is a solid investment into your health.
*see the comments for a link to the EWG’s clean fifteen/dirty dozen list of fruits and veggies to save a bit of money where it matters.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨-𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬/𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬. These include sauerkraut, Kiefer, pickles, yogurt, etc. These contain beneficial bacteria that your gut thrives on. *When incorporating these foods, go slow. And it’s also possible to have too much beneficial bacteria. If you suspect that’s the case, give me a call.

𝐄𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐞𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭! The more colorful, the better. They are packed with nutrients, fiber, antioxidants, and more.

 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬, 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬, 𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬. These products contain anti-nutrients, such as enzyme, inhibitors, tannins, phytic acid, etc. Soaking, sprouting, fermenting, or naturally leavening them can help mitigate that.

𝐄𝐀𝐓 𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐬. 𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐈𝐃 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐬. There’s been a lot of hype around saturated fats, and not enough spotlight on the chemicals and fatty acid structure of seed oils. *If you don’t know your oxidation type, fats should be consumed sparingly. Most people do not process moderate-heavy amounts of fat in their diet well. To find out your oxidation type, send me a message or give me a call. A hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) can pinpoint how much fat as well as protein and carbs and types of carbs you should be consuming based off of your oxidation rate. 

I hope this information empowers you to 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝚰𝐕𝐄 on your health journey!
