How Food Really Impacts the Body

Do you know if what you're eating is real food?

Odds are, most of us don't.

Before we started delving into the intricacies of toxicities and accumulated imbalances, we never truly considered the concept of "real food." In our practice, we've regularly encountered clients with peculiar substances that have accumulated in their bodies over the years, leading to inflammation, disease, and a decline in movement, eyesight, and overall health.

What's striking is that these imbalances often stem from what we perceive as food—items like energy bars, fortified crackers, and granola bars that are marketed as containing the 'right' building blocks that our bodies need. However, what we see day in and day out while muscle testing our clients is that the human body doesn't recognize these as actual nourishment.

And therein lies the problem.  

When the body doesn't have an inherent enzyme to digest these commonly consumed, highly processed foods, it stores the unusable components. This act of storage, in various organs, glands, tissues, and systems in the body, leads to toxic inflammation. Inflammation can manifest in a variety of ways, such as difficulty squatting, elevated blood pressure and cholesterol levels, recurring back or neck pain, and digestive issues, just to name a few. Over time, these accumulations can really disrupt one's overall well-being.

On the contrary, what the body can recognize is the unique water content within whole foods. If this water is removed, like it is in protein powders; or destroyed, like through the process of deep frying, the food product becomes unrecognizable and unusable to the body. The recurring exposure to unusable foods has an incredibly destructive effect on the body, and over time, this accumulation results in physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual deterioration.

Once these are stored, they not only cause disease within the body, but they also require a tremendous amount of water to be flushed out.

In our assessment, food should be identifiable at a glance, without the need for an ingredient label. If you can't recognize it as food by simply looking at it, then it probably won't provide your body the fuel you think that it will.
