INSIGHT

Food as Information

Food is not just calories; it's information that regulates your biology.
Every bite impacts your health, influencing gene expression and disease risk.

INSIGHT

Seven Systems of Functional Medicine

The body is organized into seven interconnected functional systems, not just organs.
Imbalances in these systems, influenced by diet and lifestyle, drive disease.

ADVICE

Eating for System Support

Choose foods that support each of your body's seven systems (gut, immune, etc.).

There are many areas of life that we can dial in for optimal health and longevity. Three of those areas are what we eat, our quality of sleep, and our energy production. We eat pounds of food every single day that act as information for our cells and influence our DNA expression. When we sleep, our brain’s immune system (the glymphatic system) clears away damaged cells. And increasing our energy will not only help us feel better but will also support all the systems of the body to function better.

In today’s episode, I talk with Dhru Purohit in my Masterclass series about the Functional Medicine approach to food, improving our sleep, and powering up our bodies.
