Unfortunately, we can't rely on a good diet to get all of the vitamins and minerals our bodies need.

Due to poor farming practices, pesticides and weed killers, GMO seeds, etc. food just doesn't have the nutritional value that it used to.

Plus, our meat animals eat these plants and end up being malnourished as well. Not to mention antibiotics and synthetic hormones used and passed on to us.

Because the nutrient level is low, we'd have to eat a tremendous amount of fruit and veggies. That may not be feasible, so we need to add supplements

What you put into your body not only feeds you, but also your digestive system. So, it's important to add helpful microbes to aid in absorbing  nutrients from what we eat. If our system gets gunked up with fake food and toxic chemicals, all the good stuff passes through and may cause inflammation, which can lead to unwellness. So, focus on that which creates the best environment for the good microbes - Prebiotics, Probiotics and Digestive Enzymes.

Prebiotics are plant fibers from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains that are food for beneficial gut bacteria. Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts, which already live in your body. Adding more helps fight off the bad and boosts your immunity against infections. Digestive enzymes help break down food into tiny bits to prepare for nutrient absorption in the intestines.

Hormones take care of so many things and so many things effect their balance, like getting enough sleep, keeping our emotions from getting too out of control or in depression.

When our hormones are out of whack - we can get easily agitated and overwhelmed. We can feel like we aren’t good enough and avoid others. Physically we can have a lack of energy, headaches, tummy troubles, insomnia, hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, and fatigue… raging hormones limit our immune system from fighting off the nasties.

Also, we can be using products that have hormone disruptors in them, which makes things even worse. We'll talk about that more in the Replace section.
