Nutrition Over Diet

I want you to know the truth about dieting, and that truth isn’t found in mainstream information. 

We’re led to believe that dieting is the holy grail to better health, and this couldn’t be farther from the truth.

The first, and most important thing to understand is...

Your body runs off nutrients from foods you eat. They are your fuel. If those nutrients are missing, you don’t have the fuel your body needs to do what it’s supposed to do. 

Without those nutrients your body can’t grow, develop, repair, or function, let alone thrive. 

Common reasons I see that nutrients (fuel) are missing are:

1. They are not being included in your diet. Any diet that restricts or eliminates whole, real foods, food groups, or categories of foods puts you at risk.

2. Your gut health is impaired so you’re not able to digest, absorb and use nutrients from the foods you eat. You aren’t what you eat, you are what your body can do with what you eat.

3. Chronic physical, chemical, or mental/emotional stress burns through nutrients and steals them from the other needs of your body.

Number 1, you’ve got to be willing to stop the diet mentality and expand your shrinking diet so your body has the fuel it needs to do what it’s supposed to do...

Grow, develop, repair, function and thrive. And this is nutrition!

WE DON’T WANT DIET!

Diet is restrictive. It eliminates foods and therefore nutrients and nourishment. Overtime insufficient nutrient intake leads to imbalances and symptoms and health problems can develop. 

Even your healthy diet can be guilty of causing this if it removes foods, food groups or categories of foods from your diet.

Without nourishment, you’ve got no chance of meeting your goals or resolving your chronic health problems, and I see a lot of people trying to resolve them by dieting. 

This is why we start with stopping the diet mentality and expanding your shrinking diet so your body has the fuel it needs to do what it’s supposed to do...

Grow, develop, repair, function and thrive.
