Vitality- can it really be that simple?

Terrain-Centred Nature- First Naturopathy

Why you can't buy it off the shelf!

I just love those A-HA moments -when clarity lands with a thud - with a perception shifting question hot on it's heels.

My most recent A-HA moment inspired this blog.

Nothing like the mind-numbing indoctrination...uh hum...information I was force fed in lecture halls ( yes I went to uni before it moved online ) and classrooms .

The Industry needs you sick

I didn't see it straight away - 25 years ago the view was rosy through my rose coloured glasses.

Now it's so obvious I can't not see it.

The A-HA insight... why would any industry provide it's customers with the information they need to not need that industry. Even the seemingly wholesome and trustworthy natural health space.

By my early 20's my faith in the medical system was all but gone.

The bitterest bitter pill to swallow was yet to come - the realisation that my first loves- Naturopathy and natural health, were little different.

With rose-coloured glasses crushed underfoot I saw all the connecting dots.

Hard to digest

It always irked me...why so many people seemed to have so many issues with so many different foods... How could something so seemingly necessary for our day to day lives cause so much discomfort and confusion?

The gentle art of nourishing oneself had become a minefield of contradictory information impossible to navigate.

When you can't see the forest for the trees

All the gut issues; SIBO protocols, leaky gut, reflux, constipation, Crohn's, FODMAP intolerance...the list as long as your large intestine....

And the diagnostics - stool analysis, microbiome mapping, colonoscopy, breath tests, food intolerance...another list as long as your large intestine...

All the solutions - probiotics , anti-parasite protocols, expensive and complicated gut healing protocols, anti-candida diets....the list goes on ...

Dependency built into the model and the implied message, unstated but ingrained into the culture - you're body's response is the problem and industry has the fix.

What elephant in the room?

What if the elephant has always been in the room but we are looking out the window?

Health can be simple, people less so.

What if it's not the food but the complexity of your dinner?

Is your digestive system sending a direct message? Rejecting what it doesn't want?

What if ...your body had it right all along? But we misunderstood and silenced the signal ?

Learning to speak body language

The art of combining foods can be learnt by listening to your body...not influencers.

Why it works for me

I love it because it nourishes me more than any protocol ever did while...

• supporting the innate intelligence in my body

• respecting my physiology

• enhancing both digestion AND assimilation

• creating way less toxicity in my gut and by extension, me.

I'd love to know how this lands for you...
