Food as Medicine
Food serves as vital information that programs the biology of the body with every bite consumed. It is critical to recognize that dietary choices impact not only energy levels but also various bodily functions, including microbiome health and immune responses. Engaging with food from a perspective of quality means choosing nutrient-dense options while avoiding ultra-processed items. This understanding emphasizes the necessity of personalizing one's diet according to individual needs, which may vary widely from low-carb to vegan preferences.
