Simplifying Nutrition – The Wellness Way

Every few days, someone will contact me for advice and guidance regarding their nutrition. For years, I’ve consistently noticed that many people just don’t know where to begin when it comes to eating healthier. Is it any wonder? When I think of all the nutritional information we’re inundated with – in the media, in nutrition books, in grocery stores, what our doctors say, what new ‘studies’ say, what our friends say, what celebrities say – wow! No wonder people are confused and unsure where to begin!

I like to keep it simple.

When I make any health and lifestyle recommendation, whether it’s nutrition, exercise, stress, mindset, weight loss, or even dealing with a sickness or disease, my recommendation is based upon meeting our body’s innate genetic requirements for health. That’s the first step. If it’s not something that meets our requirements for health then it’s not part of the plan.

Next, I stick to the simplicity of the “Wellness Formula”. This is the magic! Applying this one simple strategy to every component of our lifestyle, results in predictable improvements over and over.

The Wellness Formula states that optimal health and function are created as a result of consistently making pure and sufficient lifestyle choices over time, while simultaneously reducing toxic and deficient choices.

“Lifestyle choices” can be summarized as how we eat, how we move and how we think. If something is “pure” it means that it meets our innate genetic requirements in that area of our lifestyle. If it’s “toxic” then it works against our requirements and has a negative effect. “Sufficient” choices give us enough of the requirements to meet our needs, while “deficient” choices fail to meet our innate requirements for health.
