Episode notes
Body Wants To Heal
- The body has an inherent healing system and disease is its attempt to survive imbalance.
- Focus on root causes rather than symptom-matching treatments to let health emerge naturally.
Treat Food As Information
- Prioritize whole-food, anti-inflammatory diets because modern processed food drives chronic inflammation.
- Treat food as molecular information that rewrites gene expression, metabolism, microbiome, and immunity.
Reduce Toxic Load Daily
- Reduce exposure to ubiquitous environmental toxins by filtering water, using air filters, and choosing organic or regenerative foods.
- Support the body's detox pathways (liver, kidneys, sweat, stool) to enhance natural elimination.
