Nutrition is a field littered with so many experts and opinions that it becomes difficult and ultimately frustrating for people to “figure out” how they should be eating for optimal health.  How do you choose between Atkins, South Beach, Eat Right for Your Blood Type, Low Carb, High Carb, Low Fat, High Fat, Vegetarianism, Veganism, and hundreds of other approaches?

I think the answer may be much more simple.  If we wade through all the hyperbole, the mass marketing done by organizations with billion dollar budgets and the gurus, we find some universal principles  governing the nature of food, its purpose and how to best integrate these healthy practices into our families’ lives.  In those who have been able to do so, the results have been nothing short of miraculous.  But the miracle is not in the food itself; instead it is the amazing potential it unlocks in our incredibly designed bodies.

Do you wake up feeling as though you haven’t slept at all, or maybe you’ve just dozed here and there? Do you have trouble completing a sentence before racing on to your next thought? Are you sick fairly often? Are you easily irritated? Are you stressed out about your spouse, your kids, your job, your family, your aging parents, your health, your money problems? Does thinking about your future stress you out?
