Learn about root-cause health, the 90 Essential Nutrients, and how to support your body's natural healing abilities.
Your body needs 90 essential nutrients every day to function optimally. Without them, disease is inevitable.
Minerals are the foundation of all cellular function. They activate enzymes, support bone health, regulate pH, and enable electrical signals in your nervous system.
Vitamins work with minerals to support metabolism, immune function, and cellular repair. Without minerals, vitamins can't do their job.
The building blocks of protein. Essential for muscle repair, hormone production, neurotransmitters, and enzyme function.
Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are critical for brain health, hormone production, inflammation control, and cellular membrane integrity.
All disease begins in the gut. Heal your digestive system, and everything downstream improves. Learn more about the Triangle of Disease →
When the intestinal lining becomes damaged, undigested food particles and toxins leak into the bloodstream. This triggers inflammation and prevents nutrient absorption.
Common causes: Gluten, fried foods, sugar, stress, medications, and nutrient deficiencies.
Leaky gut creates "dirty blood" full of toxins and inflammatory compounds. This is the root cause of autoimmune conditions, allergies, and chronic disease.
1. Remove irritants: Eliminate gluten, fried foods, and excess sugar.
2. Support digestion: Use enzymes and probiotics.
3. Repair the lining: Collagen, minerals, and gut-healing nutrients.
4. Flood with nutrients: The 90 Essential Nutrients.
Unstable blood sugar accelerates aging and disease. Treat yourself like a diabetic, even if you're not.
When blood sugar spikes and crashes, it stresses every system in your body. Over time, this leads to insulin resistance, inflammation, weight gain, and accelerated aging.
Signs of blood sugar issues: Energy crashes, brain fog, cravings, mood swings, weight gain around the middle.
Even if you're not diabetic, following these principles will transform your health:
Chromium: Essential for insulin function
Vanadium: Mimics insulin action
Magnesium: Supports glucose metabolism
B Vitamins: Energy production
Essential Fatty Acids: Reduce inflammation
Stop treating symptoms. Address the root cause and let your body heal itself. Explore the Triangle of Disease →
Conventional: Treats symptoms with drugs. Manages disease but doesn't cure it.
Root Cause: Addresses why the body is breaking down. Supports the body's natural healing mechanisms.
Disease symptoms are the "fruit" of a deeper problem. You can pick the fruit (treat symptoms), but it will keep growing back unless you address the root.
The root causes: Nutrient deficiency, gut damage, blood sugar dysregulation, toxicity.
The human body is a self-healing, self-regenerating machine. It doesn't need to be "fixed"—it needs the right raw materials and the removal of obstacles.
Give it: 90 Essential Nutrients, clean food, movement, sleep, stress management.
These foods damage your gut, spike blood sugar, and prevent healing. Eliminate them for best results.
Found in wheat, barley, and rye. Damages the gut lining, triggers inflammation, and prevents nutrient absorption—even if you're not "celiac."
Hidden sources: Bread, pasta, crackers, sauces, processed foods.
High-heat cooking creates toxic compounds that damage cells and accelerate aging. Fried oils are inflammatory and hard to digest.
Avoid: French fries, fried chicken, chips, donuts.
Spikes blood sugar, feeds bad bacteria, promotes inflammation, and accelerates aging. The single biggest dietary enemy.
Hidden sources: Soda, juice, candy, baked goods, sauces, "low-fat" products.
Vegetable oils (soybean, corn, canola) are inflammatory and oxidize easily. Use butter, coconut oil, or olive oil instead.
Many people lack the enzymes to digest dairy properly. If you have digestive issues, try eliminating dairy for 30 days.
Full of additives, preservatives, and artificial ingredients that your body doesn't recognize. Stick to real, whole foods.
