Nutrition is key to vitality and immunity. Every one of the ~724 trillion cells in our bodies requires adequate amounts of water, minerals, enzymes and more for optimal functioning. It’s not just about “filling the void” when we’re hungry. It’s about understanding the checklist of nutrients needed for more optimal functioning, vitality and long term health. It’s about thriving.

While diets that focus on fresh produce, whole grains, lean protein and healthy oils are more nutrient dense than the SAD, these diets still lack in some of the ingredients necessary for optimal health.
