I Believe Your Nutritional Requirements Are Unique, Just Like You
We are constantly being inundated with information about what we should and should not be eating. But the truth is, there is not one umbrella diet that fits every body. Just like our perspective and our personalities, our bodies are unique, and what works for one person does not always work for another. I believe we should honor our uniqueness on every level including in our own personal diets.
Dis-Ease Is An Outer Expression Of An Underlying Imbalance
Symptoms are our body’s way of speaking to us, a check engine light that tells us whether we are driving down a path of health or a path of disease. These symptoms may begin as small bumps in the road, low energy, headaches, acne, sweet cravings, mood swings, but as we continue to ignore them, they increase in intensity resulting in high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and hormonal imbalances, until eventually we are thrown way off course into heart disease, diabetes, or cancer. The symptoms let us know that something deeper is going on under the hood. I believe if we effectively listen to our body, we can bring it back on a path of heath and balance by filling its tank with what it truly needs to create health.
I Believe In A “Food First” Philosophy
“Let Thy Food Be Thy Medicine” - Hippocrates
Our bodies have evolved over thousands of years to recognize what is in nature as food. There is an energetic exchange that flows through all of nature. Plants absorb sunlight, animals eat plants, and humans eat animals. The cycle goes on and on. What we take in when we eat can be described as an energetic exchange of information in the form of nutrients, and the ideal source of this is from Food.
True healing starts with Food First.
You Were Born To Be Healthy
Health and vitality is your body’s natural state. Just as your body has a program for health to heal a cut finger, your body has a program for health that always wants to run to fulfillment. Your body knows how to be healthy. The program is in your DNA and is more powerful than any genetic predisposition for cancer, heart disease, or diabetes. Your body is meant to operate at its full genetic potential, and it will when given the right resources (the right foods, the right rest, the right exercise, and the right thoughts).
Our genetics just loads the gun, our diet, lifestyle, and environment pull the trigger.
I Believe In The Power Of Why
I believe that education should be the foundation of every successful health program. When you fully understand not only WHAT to do but also WHY you are doing it, then there is no hesitation in implementing and maintaining your new lifestyle changes.
Every Person Can Become Their Own Personal Health Guru
If you have ever felt like your health was out of your control, not knowing what steps to take, looking for answers from anyone but yourself, then you are not alone. Not by a long shot. With all the different dietary opinions and health advice out there, health can feel like a daunting task. But the truth is, each of us carries the answers to our own health questions within. And what works for one person, may have little to know effect on another, and often can make a third person even worse.
I believe understanding your body’s language and what it needs is the first step to health freedom.
I Believe In Creating A Community Of Sharing And Support - A Movement
I believe we are all in this together. I understand what it’s like to be a successful athlete, to have a promising fast track career, to lose it all to a chronic disease, and to gain it all back again. We all have a beautiful story to tell and amazing insights to share. Sometimes the path can be challenging, especially when you feel you have to go at it alone. That’s why Metabolic Me strives to create a network of supporters to remind us that we don’t have to walk alone. Your community of like-minded supporters is here waiting for you.
Join the Metabolic Movement.
