Natural Health Framework: From Inflammation to Optimal Wellness - Travis Statham

Mar 11, 2025
58:14

Benjamin Smith, health researcher and creator of the Ultimate Health Model, shares how curiosity led him to develop a straightforward framework for understanding disease progression and optimal health. His unique approach breaks down complex health concepts into an actionable "green side" versus "red side" model that anyone can follow.


KEY POINTS

  • The body always acts with purpose - what we label as "disease" is often the body's protective response to harmful inputs
  • Proper breathing through the nose, rather than mouth breathing, plays a crucial role in reducing inflammation and improving overall health
  • Morning sunlight exposure helps regulate circadian rhythms and impacts everything from hormones to gut health
  • Simple lifestyle changes following the "green side" of the model can lead to surprising improvements in conditions like gum disease and vision
