🥗Science-Based Nutrition: Science-based nutrition focuses on tailoring dietary plans to individuals rather than using one-size-fits-all approaches. This approach involves considering personal genetic factors, metabolic function, and inflammation to create a nutrition plan that optimizes health and longevity.

🌿 Four Foundations for Good Nutrition:

• Build and Repair Tissue: Each meal should include a palm-sized serving of protein to support tissue repair and muscle growth.

• Increase Metabolic Function: Choose foods that are fiber-rich and nutrient-dense, which require more energy for digestion and boost metabolic activity.

• Prevent Disease: Incorporate foods that are known to prevent disease, such as cruciferous vegetables (e.g., broccoli, cauliflower) for cancer prevention.

• Quality of Life: Prioritize a diet that not only makes you feel physically well but also emotionally fulfilled and happy.

💊 Inflammation and Food Sensitivity Testing: Inflammation caused by consuming inflammatory foods can lead to health issues over time. IGG food sensitivity testing helps identify specific foods causing inflammation for an individual. This individualized approach helps prevent disease and optimize health by avoiding foods that trigger inflammation.

🔑 Individualization is Key: No single diet works for everyone. What's healthy for one person may not be suitable for another due to individual genetics, sensitivities, and lifestyle factors. Personalized nutrition takes into account each person's unique biology.

🍀 Long-Term Sustainability: While certain diets like the ketogenic diet may offer short-term benefits like increased metabolic function, the long-term effects and sustainability of such diets are often unclear. The goal is to choose a diet that supports both short-term benefits and long-term health.

🥬 Variety and Balance: Incorporating a variety of nutrient-dense foods, such as lean proteins, fibrous vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and healthy fats, contributes to overall health and longevity.

🍽️ Food Pairing and Journaling: Eliminating specific food groups to identify potential sensitivities can be useful, although it may not provide a complete scientific understanding of individual needs. Journaling and monitoring how specific foods affect your body can help pinpoint triggers for inflammation or discomfort.

🌾 Soil Depletion and Food Quality: The quality of the food supply, including soil depletion and agricultural practices, can impact the nutritional content of foods. Choosing organic and nutrient-rich sources is important for obtaining optimal nutrition.

🍎 Holistic Approach: Achieving health and anti-aging benefits requires a holistic approach that combines proper nutrition, physical activity, hydration, and stress management.
