We’re overtaxed.

Although your body can process a surprising number of toxins (over one million toxins a day - that’s insane!), it is most likely overwhelmed by the overabundance that is present in our modern society. According to the Global Healing Center, we are taking in roughly two million toxins daily - twice the amount our body can handle! Your grandmother didn’t have to deal with half of the chemicals that you are facing on a daily basis

There are even more chemicals in our environment than ever before - from our food, to our beauty products, even the air we breathe… and that also includes the thoughts we think.

How about this for perspective? Just one packet of synthetic sugar can contain more than ten thousand toxic molecules in its ingredients! Yuck!

Your body’s immune system is exhausted and overworked. Plain and simple.

The Standard American Diet (SAD) is chock-full of inflammatory foods. Gluten, wheat, refined sugar, chemicals, additives, artificial dyes and processed foods naturally trigger the body’s inflammatory response in the gut. You can imagine the damage that can happen when you are trying to ingest these foods on a daily basis (hello, autoimmune disease).

We’re also stressed.

Stress (especially chronic stress) also contributes to inflammation in the body. We live in a very go-go-go, ambitious world. A lot of us are living more IN stress than out of it.

Stress plays a big role in our health. Cortisol, the main stress hormone, is considered to be one of the primary factors in the connection between stress and disease.

Although in small amounts it is helpful (fight-or-flight, triggering adrenaline and helping us in sudden unexpected situations), large amounts of cortisol can slowly wear down our systems and cause big problems.

When you are in a stressed state, energy is directed away from your immune, digestive, endocrine and reproductive systems and to areas the brain believes are more important in the moment.

As energy is constantly being taken from these systems due to chronic stress, the body can become weaker and more inflamed.

Our bodies are also starving for real nutrients.

A lot of people are walking around completely unaware that they are starving themselves. Yes, you may be eating lots of food… but how much of it contains actual REAL nutrients that can fuel and heal your body?

Think about what you’ve eaten the past 24 hours. Write it down if you want to. How much of it consisted of…

• Fresh veggies
• Leafy greens  
• Fruits
• Raw nuts and seeds
• Healthy fats like avocado, coconut and olive oil, organic butter or ghee and organic eggs
• Organic, grass-fed meats
• Wild-caught fish
• Superfoods like spirulina, goji berries, raw honey and quinoa
• Sprouted grains
• Fermented, probiotic-rich foods
• Water

Was at least 80% of what you ate from the food groups above? How much was from…

• Processed foods
• White bread
• Conventional dairy products
• Processed drinks and sodas
• Fried foods
• Fast foods
• Wheat products
• Starchy products made from corn or potatoes
• Refined sugary foods
• Processed meats  
• Etc.

In order to FEEL GOOD, LOOK GOOD and enjoy vibrant health, you have got to give your body REAL FOOD with REAL nutrients, micronutrients, vitamins and minerals.

When a huge percentage of our diet comes from list #2, you are NOT giving your body what it needs to thrive. Even if you don’t notice negative symptoms right away, your body will suffer and be more likely to develop chronic inflammatory-based diseases.

Eye-opening, isn’t it?
